Description

Bluebeard’s Bride is a tabletop roleplaying game of supernatural horror set in a familiar fairy tale. The tale starts simply enough: one room in Bluebeard’s house is forbidden to the Bride. She eventually falls prey to her curiosity and opens it, discovering gruesome evidence that reveals her husband to be a killer of women.

Each player takes on the role of an aspect of the Bride’s psyche—a Sister— who guides the Bride through Bluebeard’s house, armed with little more than a set of keys. Each of you takes turns speaking as these aspects of her psyche would speak, deciding what actions the Bride takes, pushing the Bride deeper into the mysteries of each room, and provoking new horrors along the way.

Bluebeard's Bride is a dark collaborative storytelling game of tragic horror where players control an aspect of The Bride as she explores the wonder and terror of her new home. Bluebeard invited his new wife to explore her new home to her heart's content, just not the small room in the back. That is the only room that is forbidden. Will you obey your husband and refrain from opening
the final door, or will your curiosity or doubt drive you to insert the final key...
