Legends of Winter Wood: The dark folklore surrounding Winter Wood and its neighboring village. Featuring contributions by Jason Morningstar (Fiasco, Grey Ranks), Daniel Bayn (Wushu, Secrets and Lies), Jason L Blair (Little Fears, Streets of Bedlam), Jeremy Keller (Technoir, Chronica Feudalis), Rafael Chandler (Dread, Spite), and Daniel Moler (Red Mass).
Game Rules: Easy-to-learn rules designed to be playable around a campfire. Recommended for 2-6 players in search of the willies. Playing time averages about 2 hours.
Advice: Tips on running games of folkloric horror, building your own scenarios, and creating a memorable, spooky atmosphere.

A mischievous children's dare leads to an encounter with The Strangers. Rumors of a skinchanging beast haunt the village in The Witchery Way. A strange celestial event leads to a terrifying encounter in A Light in the Woods.

Through a series of bizarre and brutal murders affecting their friends and family, the PCs become involved in an organization called The Quiet Lodge. Members of the lodge have a collective, reoccurring dream of a place called The Quiet City, an eerie settlement by the sea, abandoned save for a score of deadly and surreal monsters. As they explore this nightmare metropolis, night by night, the waking world is plagued by an escalating series of massacres and strange cults. A trail of clues spirals toward the very heart of Walfismeer. Can the PCs uncover the secrets in time or will they too succumb to the Undertow?
