From publisher blurb:
"It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth’s dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests."
-H. P. Lovecraft
Cosmic Horror is full of creatures of vast power in a vast universe, & the insignificant human race that has no power over it. These creatures, horror incarnate don't care, or even, likely, notice the coming & goings of our petty lives, but we notice them for their dark twisted tendrils slowly seep through our world, warping the very foundations of reality.
This is the world in which the adventurers in Horrors & Heretics attempt to survive and explore. Creatures that are so far beyond our ability to comprehend must be investigated & the cults, who will stop at nothing to bring these horrors into the world, must be defeated.
It may cost the very sanity of our would-be heroes, but only they stand before the world and oblivion.
"For thin is the veil betwixt man & the godless deep."
-Clark Ashton Smith
The adventurers will find mysteries, cults, strange & unexplained phenomena, &, of course, monsters.
Horrors & Heretics is a cosmic horror games expansion for the Brains & Brawn Super Simple Table Top Role Play System. You will need a copy of the main rules as well as this expansion to begin to explore the unknown.
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
-Friedrich Nietzsche
