Something Wicked

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

There is far, far more to this world than meets the eye... a darkness that exists just beyond the light of the world that most of us know and observe.

It is there, on the fringe of reality, patiently lying in wait...

The tales of evil beyond our comprehension that have been whispered for millennia around the campfire. The urban legends about dark rituals, blood sacrifices and secret societies. Terrifying rumours of witchcraft and black magic being used to raise the dead and summon demons under the light of the full moon.

All of these stories are true.

Evil and wickedness exists. It can be found violently piercing the veil for those few who know how and where to look.

People like you.

Something Wicked is a roleplaying game of pulp horror and mystery for 3–5 players by Gareth H. Graham (Children of the Fall, KARMA, Downfall). It uses a lightweight, streamlined engine to get you up and playing fast!

See what your story holds, if you dare...

Thanks for the very kind words Adrian. No adventures available at the moment but definitely something we have planned for the future. Because of the very light nature of the rules, it should be fairly straightforward to run any horror adventure just adapting on the fly (use some of the example enemies as archetypes for the antagonists in the adventure) and determine the relative difficulty of tasks as you go :) Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. There will be a podcast going live this week and review videos soon to follow that may help you to decide.

Agreed. Even with additional pages in the preview, we still have zero idea how mechanics work in this game.

In very broad terms, the game uses a 2d6 system with 7 core stats designed to facilitate pulp and horror storytelling. The primary mechanic is rolling 2d6, adding or subtracting modifiers based on character abilities and talents and trying to meet or exceed a target number (challenge rating). Combat is entirely player facing and there is a moxie system, allowing your characters to spend moxie point to dramatically swing the odds in their favor. Therenis obviously a lot more to it but this should give you a rough idea. I'm just nervous about sharing too much of the content of the book online. I'm sure you understand.

Any chance that preview could include a sample of rules (and not just cover, ToC, and other things we can kinda already figure out are going to be in the game)?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
