Welcome to the world of Heaven & Earth, a role-playing game of surrealism, horror, and absurdity. In the small community of Potter’s Lake, strange things are afoot. Players assume the roles of ordinary people caught in an epic greater than they can possibly imagine. They will be swept into the extraordinary events that plague this town with frightening regularity. It is up to them to unlock the secrets of Potter’s Lake and discover the truth of what is really going on before it’s too late.
