Description
In the run up to the FiveEvil launch we put out a series of free PDF samplers, with behind the scenes notes and inspirations, as well as a set of episodic mini scenarios. We’ve collected them all into this 64 page softcover volume.
“I’ve been looking through this, and in its slender and sinister 12 pages it crams in an absolute ton of fascinating game and scenario design. Starting to think that D&D was invented just so Handiwork could butcher it and do interesting things with the corpse.” – Chris Gardiner, Splinters One customer
About Five Evil
FiveEvil is a set of new roleplaying rules from Handiwork Games, the minds behind BEOWULF Age of Heroes, a|state second edition and Maskwitches of Forgotten Doggerland. We’re hoping to raise sufficient funds on Kickstarter to print it as a glorious, full-colour hardback book.
FiveEvil is designed to evoke the horror genre via a set of clever twists on the underlying fifth edition ruleset. The primary focus is modern day horror, inspired by the work of Stephen King, and moody, character-driven horror films like The Ritual, The Descent and Jacob’s Ladder, alongside mini-series like Midnight Mass by Mike Flanagan, and the scariest of Twin Peaks episodes.
Rather than seeking out evil in order to vanquish it, or investigating clues to battle malign influence, characters in FiveEvil are regular people trapped in a terrifying situation where fighting isn’t likely to help.
FiveEvil was created and written by Morgan Davie, features art by Scott Purdy, Jon Hodgson and friends, and boasts graphic design and layout by Paul Bourne.
