The Eldritch Hack

Written for the One Page Game Jam 2023

What keeps you up at night?

Things moving in the corner of your view? 
Sounds that you can't quite place?
Smell's that never sit quite right.  

There are things that go bump in the night. There are things we can't comprehend and shouldn't. This is a game about those feelings of dread and unease. How insignificant we are to the powers that be. How fighting is futile by we must press on.

The Eldritch Hack is a one-page horror toolset for running horror games with minimal rules:

• Simple d10 resolution
• Skills give you bonus rolls
• Damage is dependent on how badly you roll

There are also two mini-adventures included to get you started.

THE BARN

Once you go in the doors disappear, and there is a smell assaulting your senses.
No one ever leaves the Barn.
Will you?

CABIN IN THE WOODS

You're taking a few days off to relax and get some sun in, but it's almost as if the trees are moving, not the trees, one tree.

Is it a tree?
