Sin-Eater

Sin-Eater TTRPG:

The world is a ruined husk, its dying breath thick with the stench of decay, its soul long since lost to plague, famine, and the ravenous, unquiet dead. Players take on the roles of desperate souls- wretched, haunted, and half-mad - crawling through the remnants of a crumbling world. There are no heroes here. Life is a cruel joke, but that doesn’t stop the damned from laughing! Gallows humour and bitter resolve are all that keep the darkness at bay.

This isn’t a high fantasy game or world, magic exists in Sin-Eater, but it’s dark and arcane; death-magic and once forbidden blood-rites.

Characters may set out into this grim world for reasons as wretched as they are - seeking wealth (though coin is nearly worthless in the ruins), redemption for past sins, or a cure for some foul disease. Perhaps they chase rumours of a relic - the mummified toe of St. Lazarus, patron saint of grave worms. Whatever their goal, each step forward exacts a cost, sapping their sanity and health.  

Sin-Eater is fast, brutal, and narrative-driven. The system is lean and atmospheric, emphasising storytelling and world-building over complex mechanics. The rules are there to guide - not confine- and players and GMs are encouraged to bend, break, and shape them to suit the twisted stories they wish to tell.

In the end, the world is doomed. But perhaps you can carve your name into its history before it finally dies.

So grip your rusted blades, utter your final prayers, and embrace the darkness.

It is the only mercy you will find…

Sin-Eater is a brand-new TTRPG rule system. We aim to update/patch the rule book regularly, and we’re working on some expansions, adventures and resources, and (fingers crossed) a physical release.

Göslaar:

Once a flourishing crossroads famed for its quality swords, fragrant sage-bread, and bountiful fish, Göslaar burned when a nightmarish horde of undead swept through, its desperate citizens’ set fires to purge the shambling horde, but the flames turned the settlement to ash; now the wind howls through the ruined streets and few dare enter. A priest of the Chapel of the Shattered Star promises 600 GP if you brave those ruins, cross the river, and retrieve a telescope from the abandoned tower of Stefano the Weary - an astronomer disgraced by rumours of blood rites and vanished children - claiming the fallen star it his order revere, might reveal a cure for the spreading ‘Gloam’.

Göslaar is part hexcrawl, part mapped adventure, it can be easily hacked for any OSR games.
