Something wicked this way comes with the release of Devilry Afoot, the folk horror skirmish game that sets 16th or 17th century heroes against the darkest imaginings of the early modern mind.
Co-operatively control self-righteous but flawed human monster hunters against the forces of darkness controlled by the game's action and reaction mechanics. From redcaps and revenants, to witches and werewolves, each of the thirteen monster types profiled in the rules are rooted in European (and North American) superstition and folklore form the period.With thirteen example scenarios and open-ended campaign rules, follow the rise and demise of your characters over a series of linked games against ever fiercer foes.
Devilry Afoot is playable with as few as 6-12 miniatures on a 2’x2’ (60cmx60cm) table. Games can be played in less than an hour allowing multiple games to be played in a single sitting.
The 130 page rule book is available as a hardcover book through Amazon, or as a pdf from Wargame Vault.

I have now purchased both the digital copy (Wargame Vault) and the hard copy (Amazon). I'm near halfway through reading the rules and am very thoroughly enjoying them and I am very much looking forward to throwing down for my first game in the coming week.

DeleteFantastic news! I have just bought my hardback copy and off to get my hands on the PDF whilst awaiting permission to join the Facebook group. Wishing you every success with the venture.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely checking this out. Best wishes and good luck from another author (although I write fiction)!
