Long Description:
This is a playtest and an early look at the game which will be launched on Kickstarter 3rd quarter of 2022. The game take place in 1888 and evokes the tales of Melville, Poe, Gilman Wharton, James, and Bierce and leans heavily into tropes of pathos, despair and horror. The protagonists (PCs) are members of the Esoteric Order of the Illuminous which stands between humanity and countless horrors that arise from the aethyros - places where magic and horrors of the night come alive. The purpose of this ancient and storied order is to destroy aethyros as they arise and stave off the terrifying evils that seek to invade our world.
