Blightfall

Blightfall is a dark fantasy TTRPG for a GM and 3-5 players. Doomed villagers infected with darkness sacrifice shreds of their humanity for the power to protect their home.

A unique system featuring:

• Collaborative worldbuilding to create your shared civilization and threats.
• A story engine that gives players narrative control and encourages big swings.
• Risk/reward, gridless combat that emphasizes teamwork and combos. 

But no matter what you do, your characters will eventually become abominations.

The GM plays The Blight, weaving the world, tracking the players' swelling corruption, and offering dark deals to anyone interested in bending or breaking the rules of the game. 

Players choose between six classes: The Belltower, The Harbor, The Garden, The Bonfire, The Cathedral, and The Mausoleum. Each class offers unique ways to shape the world and bend the narrative with their burgeoning power, like twisting time and communing with extra-dimensional voices.

Comes with its own VTT for easy online play, including character sheets, blight tracker, and dice roller.
