The Synhamm Curse

RPG system: Monster of the Week (PbtA) hacked for the Dark Ages
Participants: 1 GM, 4 players

Description

The fenland settlement of Synhamm is threatened while its sickly Anglo-Saxon 'Prince', Widuc, lies dying. Can the player characters find the root of the Synhamm's curse and save it before predatory neighbours attack?
Will they take Fate by the throat and make their own Destiny? Will they step into the Dark and bring the Light? Will they Forge their stories with Blood and Iron? Players should come prepared to portray a hero in a harsh world, to take risks, and embrace the consequences in a DARK age setting.
Though the X-Card will be in play, adult and horror themes may be encountered, so players should be appropriately mature (16+).
There is no need to play in the other scenario offered in this setting; they are independent.
For those unfamiliar with PbtA ('Powered by the Apocalypse') rules, all you'll need to know will be provided, so don’t worry about taking the plunge …
