RUN FROM THE DARK
A folk horror Roleplay game with a Forbidden Psalm module to boot is coming to Kickstarter this fall!
Run from the Dark is a roleplay game about folk horror, the things that go bump in the Dark and existential dread. In Run from the Dark, the Dark literally kills you. It is a malevolent force that consumes and takes all who are lost in it. In Run from the Dark you play as the Walkers who go out into the Dark, with lights of various kinds, forging your way through the bleak world, connecting towns and facing the horrors that call the Dark home.
Run From the Dark uses an the easy to learn custom roleplay system, that is narrative focused and designed to create interesting and unique characters. Or if you want you can use Run from the Dark as a horror setting for your favourite roleplay game.

Hi all
Thank you for making Hope is for the Dead my 10th successful Kickstarter. It means the world.
I wanted to take this time to do two things. One to cover the timeline for this project and two, to let you know what else I have coming up, ways you can get involved and follow along.
HOPE IS FOR THE DEAD.
So we didn’t hit all the stretch goals for this project but rest assured I am looking at the future and ways we can still bring some of these things to life. We did however hit some pretty cool goals including Mash Up Weapons.
Time Line of Project
So let's talk about the timeline. The current timeline is as follows.
- Book goes for final edits this week
- Kickstarter collects funds and sends them to us [There are currently 29 errored backers please update your payment details by end of this week or KS will drop you from the project]. This takes about a month.
- During this time we will launch the Pledge manager we are deciding between KS and Backerkit right now, hold this space as we work out which works best for this campaign.
- In the next month the editing will be done and we will send out Digital files to backers [Likely end of August].
- We send books off to print sometime in September
- Books land with us and we begin to ship them to you sometime hopefully in October/November.
If you have any issues please email [email protected] and don’t just add a comment as that makes it a little harder to help fix things for you.
What else is coming.
This 2025 is a busy year for me! And we have some very exciting things coming.
Firstly:
RUN FROM THE DARK
Run from the Dark is a roleplay game about folk horror, the things that go bump in the Dark and existential dread. In Run from the Dark, the Dark literally kills you. It is a malevolent force that consumes and takes all who are lost in it. In Run from the Dark you play as the Walkers who go out into the Dark, with lights of various kinds, forging your way through the bleak world, connecting towns and facing the horrors that call the Dark home. The game will have a Forbidden Psalm Module as well!
You can sign up the KS pre-launch page now with the campaign launching later this year [Once Hope is for the Dead is in your hands].
BLASTER
Dark Ages of Annwn is the game in the next issue of Blaster that I wrote a little while back about small scale battles in the dark ages of Wales. Check it out here
WOMAN OF WW2
I am once again partnering with Bad Squiddo games to bring Forbidden Psalm rules to their next project celebrating the woman resistance fighters of WW2. Check it out here
I can neither confirm nor deny any involvement with this project coming soon but it looks sweet as hell.
YOU MADE IT TO THE END WELL DONE.

Hi all quick update to remind you that voting for which two extra locations to add to Hope is for the Dead ends this Friday!
Right now Traffic Jam is leading [seems like a bad idea but who am I to tell you what to vote for]. Followed by Airport, Amusement Park, Zoo and finally Cemetery. Some write in suggestions are splitting the vote like an old school election. The positions have swapped a few times so there is still time to influence the outcome vote here
While I have your attention.
Every twelve years, the moon swells to gargantuan size, and the known world trembles. Ancient portents speak of catastrophic floods that will drown the highest peaks and drain the deepest ocean floors—all at the behest of a grief-mad sorcerer whose love was lost to the nameless winds of the far seas.
Twelve Years at Sea is the long-awaited epic seafaring expansion for Twelve Years, drawing inspiration from the weird fiction masters, ancient mythology, and the monster-filled spectacles of Ray Harryhausen's legendary films. This is maritime adventure at its most fantastical—where crews battle krakens beneath new stars, explore strange islands, and face the thrill of endless, uncharted waters.
Twelve Years is a GM-less 'solo+' RPG system, designed to be played solo or with other players. It blends prompts, emergent storytelling, and striking visuals into a rich narrative experience that can be replayed again and again and again.
I for one know a lot of you like Forbidden Psalm for the solo play elements and 12 years has that covered in spades. Check it out!
