The Tragedy of the Howling Ruins

Kruetzer Painting - Nathan Cavaliere.jpg

A game in the Domains of Shadow: The Storygame of Gothic Horror and Shakespearean Tragedy system, led by Nathan Cavaliere.

In the Winter of 1850 a small crew of researchers will arrive at the top Lake Inar in the North of Finland. The expedition was organized by the Royal University to study the elusive Turukhan Wolf subspecies and their mysterious behaviors. After trekking through the desolation of the inhospitable countryside the crew has finally arrived at the ruined Castle Koulemant, which local rumour holds is a common retreat for Tundra Wolves when Winter strikes. The ill-fated voyagers will soon come to discover, however, that even though this place has been long abandoned by humanity, far more than wolves haunt these cursed ruins. And even worse, the team will soon understand, all too late, that some of their crewmates are more involved with these dark powers than they claim…

This game will be great if you like The Fall of the House of Usher, Frankenstein, Hamlet, and other tales of Gothic Horror and Shakespearean Tragedy.

Characters will be provided. Domains of Shadow is a GMless system that is in the later stages of development. The system's main focus is on streamlined rules, smooth pacing, and dramatic effect. The game runner can easily explain the lite rules as they become relevant in play.

This game will be great for new players.

This game will be very serious and feature role play almost exclusively over combat.

This game will be hosted on the con’s Discord server and spectators are welcome.

CW: Themes of Horror and Tragedy, Intense Emotional States, Harm from Environmental Phenomenon, Dark Magic, Violence by and Against Animals,
