Handiwork Games is the publisher behind a|state, the two-player BEOWULF Age of Heroes and sometimes surreal Maskwitches of Forgotten Doggerland. Now they can add the horror TTRPG Fiveevil to the list.
Handiwork insist;
Make no mistake: this book is not just some 5e stats for horror entities and a couple of rules tweaks. This is media-literate deconstruction of the primary RPG paradigm of the day!
Forget hunting monsters or solving cryptic clues. FiveEvil plunges you into a modern-day nightmare where survival is the only objective. Inspired by the character-driven horror of Stephen King, the suffocating atmosphere of films like The Ritual and Jacob’s Ladder, and the chilling tension of series like Midnight Mass and Twin Peaks, this is a story about ordinary people trapped by extraordinary terror. Your only mission is to escape. FiveEvil was created and written by Morgan Davie, brought to life with art by Scott Purdy and Jon Hodgson, and featuring layout by Paul Bourne.
The Pledge Manager for late pledges was held open as long as possible by the Scottish publisher and closed just this week. Fiveevil is now available in PDF.
It’s UK Games Expo week, and you can find Handiwork Games in Hall 3. Jon and Malcolm (a|state, Cold City Hot War) will be at the GMS Hobby Games Logistics booth (3-846).
