NECROMANCER Games has a new Indiegogo, The Horror Out of Hagsaw. Written by the amazing Levi Combs (of Planet X Games), the adventure is old school Lovecraftian horror. Just check out the adventure's description:
Travelers
have long considered Hagsjaw a place best avoided, haunted by whispered tales
of witches and strange doings in the old days. Once terrorized by a wretched
coven of witches known as the Karnley Hags, the town was held in a grip of fear
that saw its citizens oppressed, its children stolen and anyone who dared
oppose them viscously murdered. Though the witches were eventually overthrown
and hung in the town square, they muttered a unified curse with their last
breaths, promising nothing less than misery and doom for all who remained.
That was a
century ago, and now Hagsjaw is little more than a forgotten watering hole on
the way to bigger and better places. Time has not treated the decaying town or
it’s folk kindly, as it seems to die out more and more as each generation
passes. The farms at the edge of town are empty of cattle and crop, the town’s
buildings are crumbling and even the sagging roofs of the abandoned,
twin-steepled church don’t look like they’ll hold up much longer. There’s
little left to suggest that the town hadn’t withered away completely… until
recently.
To
everyone’s surprise, Hagsjaw seems to be awakening from its century-long
slumber. The old sawmill has fired back up again and the townsfolk have
inexplicably started to go back out into the forests to log, hunt and trap.
Talk of renewed industry is circulating and some say that the town’s cursed
days might finally be over.
For all this
talk of prosperity, a sinister undertone ripples throughout the town. The
locals remain more suspicious than ever and many whisper that the Karnley Hags
have returned to make good on their promise to bring their ageless curse of
doom full circle. Folk have begun to act strangely. Some have even turned on
each other. Paranoia and mistrust run rampant. Has witchery and the depraved
worship of strange, old gods returned to the land? Do the whispers of ancient
curses ring true? What nameless dread has spread its wings over the terrified
folk of Hagsjaw?
Can the
characters uncover what lies beneath the surface and, if so, will they survive
it?
If that adventure doesn't sound intriguing to you, then we have very different tastes. Support the project and get a cool adventure written by a radical dude.
