The Old Ways
A downloadable game
The Old Ways is a randomly generated Folk Horror Table Top RPG.
Made to emulate folk horror movies, the characters are various outsiders coming into a rural community, unsuspecting of the horrors it carries. Just as the characters in those films do not know what to expect, the tools within the Old Ways allow you to create a randomized community of Folk with less than kind intentions, ranging from New Age Cultists to Killer Countryfolk to Eccentric Satanic Aristocrats, you never know quite what horror is about to unfold.
Slowly but surely, characters will find themselves labeled Outsider, growing Suspicious, or be Seduced by the community they found themselves in. Will they be violently ejected, escape or attack based on their own suspicions, or find themselves a new and willing member of the community?

!!Content Warning!!
Folk Horror as a genre is steeped in the worst and most miserable of human behavior. As such, be sure to talk to your players and find out what horror content is okay to put on screen, used but kept off screen, or needs to be excised entirely for an enjoyable gaming experience.

Is their any plan for a physical print run of this?
Not at this time unfortunately. The interest doesn't quite equal the efforts, though perhaps if enough people ask I can get it to Drivethru print on demand.
