Persons of Interest to the Ragnol Foundation

This game is designed for stories set in worlds much like our own.

People live ordinary lives, believing the supernatural to be nothing more than a story.

But sometimes, they fall through the cracks and see the bigger picture.

There are terrible things out there, far beyond the mundane rules of physics or reality.

For most, that is a source of constant terror forevermore. They avoid it for the rest of their lives.

But for the player characters, they get hooked. They spend their lives in a world just at the edge of those terrible things, discovering other people and groups who share the same interest, or even invite those awful powers into their lives.

They build relationships, fall in love and hate, and try to survive that world.

For the reality of the world is this: there are the great Horrors, vast and terrifying beings beyond imagination, and they do not care about us at all - or even notice that we’re here as they occasionally touch the world. And they warp people who choose to walk towards them, and these Representatives - part human, part not - are the most terrible thing of all.

Because, in time, they’re what your player characters might become.

Inspired by stories like The Magnus Archives and The City We Became, this is a game of cosmic horror that combines Forged In The Dark-type team mechanics with Trophy: Dark's corruption tools and the flexibility of storytelling systems like Lovecraftesque and FATE.

Using an easy system to co-create worlds of lingering horror, it's designed for anyone who's wanted to make their own stories of found family and struggle in a world of monsters.
