You are a creature from folklore.
A supernatural being. A visitor from the stars.
A mortal with an esoteric burden… A monster.
You live among humanity,
a strange sight in a stranger world.
In the shadowy margins of the world,
you face the vile, the odd, and the unnatural…
and the dangers of your own monstrous impulses.

Hexingtide is a minimalist TTRPG love letter to the monster heroes of folklore & the pulps, inspired by:
- Hellboy & the wider Mignolaverse
- Dan Brereton’s Nocturnals
- Eric Powell’s The Goon & Hillbilly
- Alan Moore & Kevin O’Neill’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
- the Underworld films
- classic Universal Studio's Monsters
- and the various incarnations of The World of Darkness
- 12 page zine format hyper-focused on the most monster-y parts of the PCs
- Point buy character creation using open-ended descriptors (think Fate Aspects)
- Super-streamlined rules for pulp & comics-inspired action adventure
- Uses a single die: you'll need just one d10, really!
- A hint of built-in worldbuilding in the Chymoi, a pseudo-elemental system of Blood, Phlegm, Ichor, Black Bile, and Rot.
