Welcome to Grimsbury - English Folk Horror RPG
A downloadable game
Welcome to Grimsbury is a TTRPG of English folk horror, occult activity, errant scientific experiments and otherworldly encounters centered around the fictional English region of Grimsbury. Players take the roles of visitors to Grimsbury and its environs, investigating, adventuring and working to survive the forces arrayed against them.
Fans of The Wicker Man, Dr. Who, Children of the Stones and Folk Horror Hauntology will feel right at home in Grimsbury. It might be the Go-Go 60’s in “Swinging London” but out in Grimsbury things are odder, more sinister and the mystery is waiting to be discovered.
Play any kind of character you want to create. Feel free to use the supplied Archetypes or customize your own using Skills and Abilities to make your character your own. Investigate, encounter and try to survive uncanny forces and beings from HERE and THERE. Find allies and clues to help you achieve your goals. Explore unknown places in the region of Grimsbury and the surrounding countryside to discover their secrets.
