Creepy? Crawly? Our new rules-lite TTRPG 13 Omens has both and more! With adventures already in the rulebook as well as advice for how to play through your own horror stories with your friends, our new game system and zine-set is perfect for any budding gamer, gaming veteran, story teller, creepy-things enjoyer, or all of the above!
13 Omens is easy to learn and quick to play, requiring little in the way of setup or additional components. Every session is self-contained, making it ideal for one-shots and episodic campaigns. With a different set of archetypes available for each story, every session brings a new set of thrills and scares. The game is structured like a horror movie, consisting of three acts, and is designed for single session play. At the start of each game, the players create their characters using Archetypes found in each story.
In 13 Omens, each game session is one complete story that includes a prologue and three Acts, the parts of the story that lead to a terrifying conclusion. Players draw from a shared dice bag in the center of the table whenever they need to make a roll. At the start of the story, the bag contains eight Safe Dice, but as the story progresses, the Host adds Omen Dice to the bag. Drawing Omen Dice and rolling poorly on them leads to death and despair, so beware when reaching into the bag!
We will begin production shortly after the campaign ends and expect to begin fulfillment for 13 Omens in May 2027.
Back the game NOW on Kickstarter, and we hope to see you there!
PS. We have plushies with guts coming out. That feels creepy by nature.
