If I am not responsive, it is because I am putting the finishing touches to a small 1970s British #folkhorror one-shot #TTRPG.
I have hidden a #treasurehunt in it.
The prize is a one-of-a-kind rulebook for a tabletop RPG called Department 23.
It will never be reprinted or recreated.
Solve the puzzles and find the location first and it is yours. And its publishing rights.
The only way to get this FREE one-shot is to add yourself to our waiting list: https://bookhouse.uk/waiting-list/

“I will re-characteri[z]e the primary emotional operation of [folk horror] as something more like a pleasurable Pan-ic. By which I mean that overwhelming feeling of eeriness or portentiousness, without any visible cause, but nevertheless a primal one, similar to Søren Kierkegaard’s descriptions of ‘dread.’ Such Pan-ics are markers not of fear but of potential, felt prior to opportunities for action.” - Phil Smith, “Albion’s Eco-Eerie.” https://temporalboundary.bigcartel.com/product/albion-s-eco-eerie-by-phil-smith #affect
I want to apply this insight more broadly, beyond #folkhorror or for that matter any #horror at all, save the everyday one we all confront and shoulder: not all of them, surely, but perhaps some of those moments of dread and dis-ease are precisely a premonition of some rapidly-approaching juncture at which we have to choose between one becoming and another?
Our first publication to be released is The Grimpen Affair. A small folk horror roleplaying game based in 1970s Britain. Think X-Files meets The Wicker Man. Only not that.
Hidden in that small free game is a treasure hunt that will lead you to somewhere in the UK. Find that location and what is hidden there and a unique treasure will be yours. To keep. To do with what you will.
