The product of a highly successful Kickstarter campaign, the Old Gods of Appalachia Roleplaying Game turns the world of the anthology horror podcast into an appropriately spooky and narratively driven tabletop experience. While it has plenty to offer listeners who’d like to face the agents of the Inner Dark using secrets passed down by grannies, it also delivers enough compelling lore to build a new audience looking for a novel spin on horror.
The Old Gods of Appalachia podcast is set in an alternate version of early 1900s Appalachia, where the mountains entomb ancient horrors that stir under the picks of miners digging ever deeper into the darkness. These monstrosities can whisper to the desperate, granting them powerful boons in return for service. But they can also be fought with the strength of a tight-knit community, magic passed down for generations, and the raw might of the land itself.
