 The World and your Lands
Though the world of Fear & Hunger is geographically similar to the real world, it has a variety of differing regions
shaped by the gods and monsters which influence its lands. The series has been physically set in only two nations,
but other regions can be learned about through information gained from various characters and books.
As both games are set on Europa (analogous to real-life Europe), the world is viewed from an evolving Western
perspective.

Abyssonia

Abyssonia is a continent, widely recognized as the cradle of Western

civilization. It boasts a warm climate where olive trees flourish and
people bask in the sun, but is also notorious for its scorching heat and a
long history marked by chaos and conflict between warring factions.
The people of Abyssonia have waged wars over ancient grudges and
disputes that date back to their ancestors, whom they hold in godlike
reverence.
The continent's strategic position in securing access to oil and raw
materials from the east has made it a target of interest for Europa, which has closely monitored its
affairs. During the Great War, Abyssonia closed its borders, sealing itself off from the outside world.
Abyssonia has unique viewpoints on religion. Historically, the worship of the Older Gods was looked down upon by
its people, with these divine beings being perceived as extraterrestrial entities. It appears that the acceptance of
such cults is a relatively recent development. Another peculiar aspect of Abyssonia is the exceptionally large
number of New Gods that originate from the continent, though the underlying reasons for this remain undisclosed.
The continent is home to some notable locations, including the City of the Sun, Amon. This city is renowned for
being a center of education for the mind and religion for its inhabitants. At the heart of Amon lies the Temple of
Amon, which offers various schools of spiritualism where individuals can learn about worship in Europa, magic
from the Eastern Sanctuaries, or methods of Abyssonian spiritual practices, such as Meditation.
Another location of significance in Abyssonia is Songhai, where ancient stone carvings dating back around 3,000
years have been discovered. These carvings depict a meeting between an extraterrestrial Older God and human
beings, providing insight into the beliefs and practices of the people of Abyssonia during this period.

"The Eastern Spirit lands, home of the Yellow Mage. A great land.

“- One of the monks from Songhai shrine.

I love new kinds of magic, yet I hate the fanaticism of these men. - Enki Ankarian
Bohemia

Not much is known about Bohemia's history beside its past about the conflicts between Kingdom of
Rondon and Eastern Sanctuaries, other than that it is a relatively small and rural nation. There are no current
references to its flag or uniform, but the lion on one of the brass city
keys appears to be Bohemia's national animal.

Despite being often-overlooked, Bohemia is very strategically-placed in

the middle of many powerful countries. The Eastern Union utilized the
nation to conduct "advanced electronic experiments", leading to the
creation of the bunker system beneath Prehevil. During the Second Great
War, the Bremen Empire -- under the leadership of Kaiser -- conducted a
brutal campaign to invade Bohemia, ultimately leading to the occupation
of Prehevil and the signing of a peace treaty.

Bremen Empire

A prosperous Europan nation, the Bremen Empire has marked itself as a force to be reckoned with over the course
of the two Great Wars.
Though it has an established nobility, its government has been rocked by populist movements culminating in
violence and domestic turmoil. This resulted in the appointment of Kaiser to the country's chancellorship, despite
his lack of prior involvement in national politics. After taking power on January 31, 1936, Kaiser quickly began to
expand the Bremen reign, uniting nearby nations under the new empire's banner and forming a special military
unit, "The Marching Men of the Night's Day".
Kaiser's rise to power escalated tensions between Bremen and the Eastern Union, eventually culminating in the
Second Great War. The Bremen Empire was suspected of various atrocities and horrors during its lengthy
campaigns, which aimed to conquer its neighbor, Bohemia. Eventually succeeding in this goal, Kaiser signed a peace
treaty with the Eastern Union in 1942, occupying the city of Prehevil to gain control over the "advanced electronic
network experiments" being conducted there.

Eastern Sanctuaries
A land to the east of Europa. The region's capital and holy city, Jettaiah, is a hotspot for trade
between the west and the east. A place where poverty and riches can be seen side by side in
streets filled with exotic scents from spice vendors, it is notable for being the birthplace of the
old god Alll-mer.
The Eastern Sanctuaries are referred to as a sultanate, at some point in history ruled
by Nas'hrah, an extremely power-hungry New God who led his lands into multiple campaigns
against the Kingdom of Edo during the 8th century, which proved to be fruitless expansion
endeavours. Regardless of his inability to conquer Edo, Nas'hrah's certain respect for the warring arts of his
adversaries led him to form Yansa Aryuaban, a new country inside the borders of the Eastern Sanctuaries that had
high-status war prisoners from Edo appointed as central figures and ordered to mimic the ways of Edo as closely as
possible, breeding a warrior class for the so-called 'eternal kingdom'. Although it took hundreds of years, ultimately
Nash'rah's wish was granted with the warrior class Jizamurai, born in the Yansa Aryuaban.
Nash'rah's cultural influence is also imprinted in the existance of the Yellow
Mages, a sect of magical practitioners who use otherworldly powers only to
their own benefit and to further their own agendas instead of dedicating their
lives to worship. Although their presence has been slowly fading over the
years, they still can be found revelling in chaos as their master's ideology
states.
The Eastern Sanctuaries' history of peculiar approaches to otherworldly
powers does not stop with Nas'hrah's followers, however - its spice
production goes much beyond food flavoring, as spice forges were widely
used by magick practitioners back in the day to customize the properties of
one's otherworldly skills. The eternal kingdom is also home to a sect of
sorceresses called the Virgin Mages, notorious for being the creators of
the Warding Sigil skill. Currently, the majority of local temples in the Eastern Sanctuaries have adopted Alll-mer as
their principal religion, mirroring a trend that has occurred across Europa.
In the twentieth century, the Eastern Sanctuaries formed the Eastern Union by partnering with the Voroniyan
Republic. Nevertheless, the region is currently experiencing ongoing internal unrest. The authorities' persistent
oppression of the populace has led to the emergence of numerous civil rights organizations, which frequently
organize protests. However, these demonstrations are often met with violent reactions from the military.
The Eastern Union became involved in the Second Great War when it was attacked by the Bremen Empire, which
hoped to expand into its occupied territory of Bohemia. Despite allying with the nations of Rondon and Oldegård,
the Eastern Union experienced devastating losses, prompting it to resort to enlisting child soldiers. As the morale of
its military collapsed, the Bremen Empire occupied and subjugated Bohemia, prompting the two nations to sign a
peace treaty. In doing so, the Eastern Union lost access to the network of bunkers it had constructed beneath the
Bohemian city of Prehevil, where it had been researching "advanced electronic network experiments".

The Kingdom of Edo

Edo is briefly mentioned in the games as an island nation that was able to thwart the Eastern
Sanctuaries' plans of expansion during the eighth century, remaining independent even
after multiple campaigns. Edo's warring arts caught the attention of Nas'hrah, Sultan of
the Eastern Sanctuaries, who then appointed high-status war prisoners from Edo as central
figures in a new formed country to create a warrior class as close as possible to Edo's ways.
Hundreds of years later, said warrior class, the Jizamurai, was then born in the Yansa
Aryuaban, as a result of the cultures of Edo and the Eastern Sanctuaries melted together.

this deity, to challenge it to a duel, to give purpose to their otherwise meaningless existence continents. - Enki Ankarian.
Oldegård

The Kingdom of Oldegård was said to be described as being independent and that they
are known for their iron wills and advanced ships, which allows them to sail to the
unknown western part of the world.
Oldegård was said to have discovered the far away western continent, Vinland, in 1009.
During the twentieth century, Oldegård became involved with the Second Great War
event, which result it into the conflict against the Bremen Empire and a
necessary alliance coalition with Rondon and Eastern Union.

adding a hint of love to the mix.

Rondon
A great western kingdom, known to be the center of western civilization. The Kingdom of Rondon
claimed to follow the will of the gods in its pursuit for more power, although it meets through the
difficult times with the development issues which caused the small mercenary army, also
known as Knights of the Midnight Sun to be originated from this kingdom with the use of
reign expansion. The kingdom is notable in that it houses the infamous Dungeons of Fear
and Hunger, which are used by the Rondonian monarchs and lords as a place to send their
convicted criminals to be housed in. However, they have since lost control of the dungeons because of
the darkness and the black that exudes from it and that it is uncontrollable and spreads its influence and
tendrils to anyone that dare set foot in the dreaded area.
Rondon is still functioning as a kingdom around 1940's; The kingdom dealt with involvement of the
Second Great War, causing to forge alliance with Eastern Union and Oldegård with conflict against
the Bremen Empire.
"The great western Kingdom of Rondon. The center of western civilization. It was once formed out of
hundreds of small warring nations and tribes to fight under one flag." - Enki Ankarian.
Vinland

Little is known about Vinland due to its distance from Europa and its incredibly
hostile environment. The land is known for being tainted by strange and unknown
deities, which have left the continent engulfed in a constant, gloomy
darkness. Vinland's soil is rocky and barren, preventing most plant life and making the
landscape resemble "a colorless black mass".
Vinland was not visited by anyone from Europa until the year 1009, when the first known
mention of the land was recorded by Oldegårdian sailors. Explorers from Oldegård, would
later visit the continent in 1577 in search of resources and treasures. Though many of
these explorers would be killed or driven mad by the otherworldly environment, the
survivors ultimately succeeded in recovering the Cube of the Depths. Explorers would
eventually nickname the continent "Wine Land" due to the amount of wine one needed to drink to
forget about their horrific experiences there.
Though Oldegård would eventually form a trade route would between Europa and Vinland, colonization efforts
struggled. By 1942, the continent has still not been explored or colonized in a great capacity. Luxuries native to the
continent, such as tobacco and "Old Vinland" whiskey, remain highly valuable.
Though Vinland has largely been described as being unsettled, the continent does appear to have its own advanced
native cultures, as is evidenced by the presence of warrior tribes in the northern parts of the continent.
 The Creation of the Tormented

To create your tormented character, you should first think of simpler concepts such as Name, Age, Appearance, and

Attributes and skills
After choosing your origin, it's time to distribute your attribute points and calculate certain types of tables that
your character presents. Your GM may define the initial amount of points you will distribute by choosing the
difficulty of the game mode, thus showing players how terrible the world can be.
After distributing your points, know that whenever you make a test with that attribute, you will roll 1d10 plus the
attribute defined/2 by the test (So if you have to make a Celerity test and have 6 points in that attribute, you will
roll 1d10+3).

Knowledges
The Knowledge groups are sets of skills in which your character has certain training. An example could be the
Medicine skill. By placing Medicine as a Mental skill, an intelligent and well-studied person would have basic
knowledge of medicine. However, an expert might not be one of the most intelligent people in other areas, but
would know a lot about medicine in general. All the knowledges you have chosen, whenever you make a test that
has any correlation with them, you receive +3 on the test. The how and which skill can be used and defined between
the master and the player depending on the situation.

how you want it to develop.

Spells and Feats

Well, there is a difference between spells and feats. Understand that feats are intricate abilities of your tormented
soul, usually linked to your character's past or a special capability of your character. Spells, on the other hand, are
more linked to magic or even the gods. During character creation, you can choose one feat or spell at your disposal.
However, during the campaign, your master will tell you the number of souls you have and how much you have
progressed in the story by giving you a soul stone.
For example, Daan has the feats Academic and Healer, while O'saa has the spell Hurting and Pyromancy trick.
You can also acquire spells through affinities with gods; the greater your affinity with a certain god, the better the
spells and abilities they will provide.

a deity, it also depends on whether the beliefs of the
user align with those of the observers. In essence,
magic is almost always regarded as something
connected to dark arts and shrouded in mystery. In
your campaign, if the populace is still aware and
conscious, they may both fear and worship magic.
The important thing to understand is that in this
world, magic, rituals, and sorcery are perceived as
potential threats, just like firearms.

 The Hall of the Gods
As the game master, you are the architect of the world that your players are about to inhabit. You are responsible
for creating the challenges, bringing non-playable characters to life, and, above all, telling the story that will be
uncovered by the players. It's a demanding task, but it's also extremely rewarding. In this chapter, we will explore
some of the main mechanics of the system that you need to know to become a skilled master, as well as some tips
and tricks for narrating with fluency and bringing the game world to life.

Move Action:
• Move: Moving up to the character's Celerity.
• Draw or stow weapon: Drawing or sheathing a weapon.
• Manipulate item: Performing a simple interaction with an object, like opening a door or picking up an item.
• Stand Up: Spends all your movement and removes the Prone condition if you still have legs.
Action:
• Attack: Making an attack against a target.
- Unarmed Damage: Every unarmed attack damage causes a fixed value of ¼ of the Character's
Strength value (minimum 1).
• Speed Up: You convert an Action into a Move Action (this action cannot be used to move).
• Cast ritual: Performing a longer spell or ritual.
• Feint: Attempting to deceive an opponent in combat. To do so, the attacker must make a Strength
(Deception) test and the defender must make a Reflex (Perception) test. If you succeed, you gain advantage
on your next action.
• Ready: Choosing to hold an action until a specific trigger occurs.
• Help: you can help another person; the group must define a character to be the leader (usually the one with
the highest bonus); the others will be the assistants. Each assistant makes a test against DT 10, using the
same skill or another that makes sense. Each assistant who passes grants the leader a +1 bonus, with an
additional +1 for every 10 points above the DT (+2 for a result of 20, +3 for a result of 30, and so on). After the
assistants make their tests, the leader makes the final test taking into account the bonuses received.
• Use skill or item: Using a skill or item in a non-combat situation.
Full Turn:
• Run: Moving up to double the character's Celerity.
• Aim: Taking a moment to aim at a target, granting your next attack ignore the body location's negative
modifier.
 • Guard: Using your entire turn, all attacks directed at you have disadvantage. Additionally, you
automatically pass all Coin Toss enemy attacks.

- Types of damage: Slashing, Piercing, Blunt, Fire, Magic and Otherworldly.

Dismemberment
During a battle, it is possible for you to lose limbs, so you must carefully consider your next strikes and attacks. To
dismember parts of the enemy, you must first hit the specific body part, whether it's the legs, arms, or extra limb.
After hitting the specific body part, you must deal damage equal to 30% of an enemy's health to dismember that
part. Depending on the type of damage, it will cause a specific effect on the enemy: Slashing causes Bleeding (DT25
instead of 15), Blunt causes Fracture, and Piercing causes Critical State when the damage is equal to 30% of an
enemy's health. Both the head and torso cannot be dismembered but can still receive effects. These rules apply to
both monsters and players.
- Difficult Dismemberment (Optional): If you find the dismemberment rules unfair for Players, you can allow
them to choose between losing a limb or advancing one stage in their Martyrdom.

Battle Example
Levi is a character created by the player Mike, who will play an easy level campaign and therefore decided that
Levi's attributes would be: Strength 3, Reflex 10, Body 5, Mind 4, Social 2, and Celerity 6. Mike chose the Soldier
origin and received the Belligerent ability, as well as the Gunslinger feat. Since he chose the Soldier origin, he
received a tactical firearm of his choice and decided to use a Rifle. With a Mind of 4, he chose the Knowledges
Evasion and Initiative.
During the campaign, the game master pits Levi against a deformed police officer who is determined to catch him.
Levi and Bobby roll initiative, with Levi scoring 13 (5 on the die and +8 Reflex) and Bobby scoring 14 (8 on the die
and +6 bonus), so Bobby starts first. Bobby makes two attacks against Levi, rolling Strength + Fighting and achieving
a total of 16 (6 on the die + 7 Strength + 3 Fighting), but Levi achieves a total of 17 (9 on the die + 5 Reflex + 3
Evasion), so the attack misses. But don't be too happy, Mike, that was only the first attack. Bobby makes the other
attack, scoring 18, while Levi only scores 15 on evasion, so he receives an attack. Bobby then rolls a d10 to
determine the location of the attack and scores 6, which hits Levi's right arm, dealing 7 damage (14 on 1d8+9
divided by 2), leaving him with 13 (20-7).
Levi is having a lot of luck and feels duty-bound to quickly eliminate this creature. He uses an item, Pep Pills, which
gives him +2 Celerity and Reflex, totaling 8 Celerity and granting him an extra action (number of turns equals
Celerity divided by 4, rounded down, and at least 1). He uses his second action and uses the Gunslinger ability to aim
at Bobby's head, using only 1 standard action instead of a full turn and losing 7 Fear Points in the process, leaving
him with 9 Fear Points (16-7).
The action returns to Bobby, who makes two more attacks, scoring 10 and 13, while Levi scores 13 and 14, evading
all attacks. Levi then ends the combat on his turn, a natural 10, for a total of 19 to hit (10+6+3). Levi then uses his
Rifle on Bobby's head and rolls 10d4 (5d4 for the rifle, but since he was aiming at the head 5d4×2 = 10d4), and on the
die, he scores a total of 30 damage. Since Bobby has 3 Defense, he takes 27 damage directly to the head. Therefore,
the game master narrates that Levi lands a precise shot to Bobby's skull, killing him instantly and giving Levi the
victory.

than death. Perhaps it is not so miraculous for
them, but certainly it is for me. - Enki Ankarian
Martyrdom
Every time a character reaches 0 Health Points, they enter into Martyrdom. This condition requires the player to
flip 5 coins and choose whether they want Heads or Tails (1 or 2). If the character gets their DESIRED result the
number of times indicated in the table, he returns with an amount of Hit Points equal to Body×2 (minimum 2) and
can take actions normally. Otherwise, they die immediately. However, every time the character enters the
Martyrdom condition after the first time they fall, until the next rest scene, the number of times they need to get
their DESIRED result to stabilize increases by +1.

attack capable of dismembering.

Hunger and scenes

In the gaming universe, a scene is a fundamental part of the story that can lead players through incredible paths.
From a violent battle to a heated discussion in a king's court, scenes can vary greatly. The moment a scene starts
and ends is determined by the game master, who has total control over the situation. Typically, a scene starts when
a new place or situation is introduced and ends when the characters reach a resolution for the situation. However,
the game master can interrupt a scene at any time to make room for another scene, without anything planned
happening. This means that a discussion can turn into a combat in a matter of seconds.
Characters' powers are also affected by scenes, as many feats only work during a specific scene. For each scene
Therefore, it is important for the game master to have control over how many times each that passes or
character can use their power during the game. enter, all
characters lose 1
point of hunger.
Types of Scenes
➢ Combat Scene: The main objective of combat scenes is to achieve something physical, and this can be done in various ways.
Generally, these scenes focus on battles, where the strength of weapons is the key to defeating enemies. However, combat
scenes can also include chases, traps, and other risky situations. The fundamental aspect of a combat scene is the speed at
which everything happens. The game is divided into rounds, where each character has a chance to act and play their part
in the action. The environment can be described with rapidly passing images, loud sounds, and constant surprises. It is
common for the characters' lives to be in danger for most of these scenes. Although interpretation is important, mechanics
are prioritized in combat scenes, as a simple roll of the dice can be the difference between life and death. It is important to
remember that an excess of combat scenes can lead to empty and personality-less characters, but a lack of them can make
the story too slow and too safe, without any risk.

➢ Exploration Scene: The goal of exploration scenes is to achieve

something intellectually, through interaction with objects and
environments rather than people. While a crime scene and solving
puzzles are obvious examples of exploration, it can be as simple as
exploring a forest or desert. In some situations, there are no
challenges involved and the characters discover the mysteries of
the environment as the master describes what they see. But in
other moments, there are difficulties to be overcome, such as
searching an ancestral library for arcane secrets. While rules
and tests can be important, the players' own ideas are
fundamental here. Many exploration scenes are resolved
through careful observation by the players and their ideas for
dealing with the environment. However, an excess of
exploration scenes can lead to a monotonous adventure,
dominated by the master's descriptions while the players have
little action. On the other hand, a lack of exploration can result in
adventures without wonders and discoveries, in known and
predictable environments.
➢ Rest Scene: A rest scene is a break in the adventure's action where characters have the opportunity to recover from
injuries, regain spent abilities and spells, and even shop or engage in other personal activities. Typically, a rest scene
occurs after a major action scene, such as a battle, or when characters are about to embark on a new mission. During a rest
scene, characters usually gather in a safe location, such as a tavern or campsite, where they can tend to their injuries and
recharge their abilities. The game master can describe the scene, including details of the environment and NPCs present,
and allow players to interact with the environment or other characters.

Actions in the Rest's Scenes

You have two actions you can choose between:
➢ Sleep: You sleep for a short period. With this action, you move your Martyrdom back to First Time and recover
an amount of Health Points equal to your resting condition.
- Poor: Recovery is reduced by half of your Body value. Sleeping inside a car or in a camping tent are
examples of precarious rest.
- Normal: You recover a number of Health Points equal to your Body value. Sleeping in a simple
room with a functional bed and bathroom is the standard for normal recovery.
- Comfortable: Recovery equals 1.5 times your Body value. Resting in a three-star hotel or inn with
amenities and entertainment is considered a comfortable rest.
- Luxurious: Recovery is doubled. A luxury hotel with VIP treatment, spa, and high-standard meals
sets a luxurious rest.
➢ Relax: The character performs an activity they find relaxing or enjoyable to rest their mind. Relaxation works
like the sleep action, except that it recovers Fear Points instead of Health Points and uses the value of Mind
instead of Body. For each character who performs this action in the same rest, all participants recover an
additional 1 Fear Point. You can only relax once per rest.
➢ Cook: You can cook food to make it recover double its value.
➢ Craft: If you have the materials, the diagrams, and have Knowledge in Craft, you can create an item that you
have the diagram for.
➢ Level up: When you use this action, you can spend Soul Stones to purchase Feats, Spells, skills and evolve your
character. See the section on character evolution in this chapter.

➢ The Tainted One: You kill creatures and these creatures The Heartless Determined by GM
give you souls. Stronger creatures give more powerful One
souls. During a rest scene, you can level up your character with the collected souls.
➢ The Radiating One: Focused on story milestones where at the end of each milestone you would get an item to
offer during a rest scene. This would kind of influence players to seek out important missions and things, which
often don't need battles. For example: getting the Woodsman's axe, getting the Kaiser's sword, or finding a ring
in a dungeon and trading it for souls in a rest scene.
➢ The Heartless One: At a certain point in the adventure the GM would only say how many points everyone
earned and distribute them among the characters.

To evolve, you have two ways, being:

➢ Feats, Spells or Affinity Skills cost 1 Soul Stone for each Feat or spells you
present (Ex: if you have Alchemist, Healer, and Hard to Kill and want to
buy one more, it will cost you 3 Soul Stones)
➢ Increasing attributes costs the desired attribute level divided by two in
soul stones. If you want to jump certain stages while upgrading
attributes, you first need to complete the payment for the previous
stage in soul stones before moving on to the next payment. For
example, if you want to jump from level 8 to 10, you need to pay 9 soul
stones [(9/2 = 4) + (10/2 = 5)].

50% chance of hitting the wrong target.
Difficulties, Monsters and Phobias
Thinking that your friends have already created their characters and everyone knows how to play, it's time to
really create an adventure and a story. Create a scenario in which all these characters will interact and think about
things that can interfere in the lives of these tormented souls. Knowing that the plot of the first game and Termina
revolves around gods, you can end up creating your own gods or even using the ancient ones. Regardless, Fear and
Hunger is essentially a Dungeon Crawler at its core. Feel free to place these characters in a closed scenario of a
dungeon or an abandoned city. But be sure to impose certain limits and rules before starting the session:
➢ Sexuality: Fear and Hunger touches on very sensitive issues and often playing a game about this subject is
different from hearing these issues coming out of the mouth of a friend or acquaintance about someone that
you are technically playing. Therefore, this is one of the main topics to be discussed. Sometimes people may not
feel comfortable with rape, but they don't mind a shallow description of a naked man. Sometimes even the
mention of things in this way can cause embarrassment. But understand that this is a game and should be
played by everyone, so no mention of sex or sexuality has been made in this book so far precisely to leave it
open for discussion between GM and Players.
➢ Violence: Okay, this topic is also debatable, even though the game mentions bleeding, dismemberment, and
various types of different mutilations, think that there are people who may not like this level of gratuitous or
even senseless violence. Torture and descriptions of carnage should be discussed before even considering
playing in this system.

deities known as the "old gods", who are separately worshipped by different factions in the game's world. They are
seen as the true gods of the world and represent the most basic concepts present in it. Information about them can
be gathered from specific books regarding their nature found in the various libraries and bookcases present in the
two games currently released. While not all of them have been revealed so far, ten different runic symbols have
been portrayed so far, which could be an indication of their numbers.
Available lore in both games seem to indicate that some of these older deities have 'departed' from the world, but
their traces are very strong remaining energies who are somehow still sentient and influent. It is also stated that
older gods never truly perish.
➢ As all Fear & Hunger stories revolve around Gods and deities, whether they are new or old. Your story can also
revolve around this, it doesn't necessarily have to be about this, but the main theme of this book is that. And
since Gods are a presence that alters the fate of the world and occasionally directly interfere in essential events
in people's lives, here we will present some mechanics for you to use in your campaign about the Gods. We will
talk about the Old Gods because they have more power and are capable of modifying larger structures than the
New Gods, however, there is nothing preventing you from using a François at your table and saying that the
origin of monsters is coming from his power, or even that he has achieved perfect ascension and become an
Ancient God capable of being worshiped and having influence over the other Gods.
Gro-goroth
Gro-goroth - The destroyer of men. He who ushers a new
dawn with force and violence. Gro-goroth is the other part
of the most primal duality. Creation and destruction. Where
the other doesn't exist without the other. The word
'destruction is often associated with the evil of the world.
This of course is foolishness. There is no room for new
creation if the slate is not first burnt clean and empty. A
man fears destruction. Man, gest accustomed to peace and
quiet. Man grows fat and afraid of change. Change is
inevitable, just as Gro-goroth. What one needs to understand is
that the destruction is of pure kind. It does not target one man
specifically. It just exists. Gro-goroth is associated with the god of
creation, Sylvian and their child, the god of nature, Vinushka.
Gro-goroth offers the mankind the blessing of blood magick. Constant
sacrifices in his name will maintain the relationship.

Sylvian
Sylvian - the goddess of love, lust and creation. She
created men and women at the dawn of time. From the
very first moments she loved her children dearly. Over
time her love blossomed into a more obsessive form
and she would take a more hands-on approach in
controlling the direction her children took in life,
always having their best interest in mind of course.
Once she realized her children would never return the
same amount of affection back to her, her love took a
more twisted form. Sylvian forced mankind more to
her liking and closer to her own image with her gift to
humans - the love magic, otherwise known as the
flower magic.
For a brief moment in history, mankind fell into a craze of fleshly delights. As a synchronized mass, sea of naked
people in a middle of coitus would pulsate and waste their days. Sylvian is often associated with Gro-goroth, the god
of destruction and their offspring Vinushka, the god of nature.

sexual activity in the area of her presence. This can manifest in various ways, from
an increase in marriages and births to more promiscuous behavior.

who possess a deep understanding of nature and the interconnectedness of all
living beings.
➢ As Sylvian is associated with animals, her presence can lead to changes in the

God of the Depths
The God of the Depths, an old and gigantic being worshipped by outcasts left in the darkness - insects and wretched
soulless beings. Their body lies dormant in the altar of darkness and within it, there is the Gauntlet, a way to the
very bottom of the dungeons.
the God of the Depths is "worshipped by those who are forsaken and forgotten". Their followers seem devoid of
self-awareness or any kind of higher intelligence, only capable of further fulfilling pre-set duties in the dungeons.
They are often insectoid, such as the cockroaches, Scarabs, spiders, and the Cockroach King. If not insectoid,
creatures that were or outcast stuck in darkness - the Cavedweller, the Body Snatcher, the Butterfly, or
the Mumbler, who are described as
mindless servants to the god.
There is evidence that the God of the
Depths had human worshippers as
well. At a certain point in history, a
mysterious sect known as the Hermit
Mages of the South held the God of
the Depths in high esteem. These
reclusive practitioners were known
for their rare ability to imbue rings
with life-draining magic, though little
else is known about their practices
beyond their name. Moreover, ancient
folklore speaks of the Maiden of the
Depths, a human woman who was
supposedly chosen to be the bride of
the God of the Depths.

* = (One use only, Roll 1d6 per turn and on a 5 or 6 recover use)
Rher
Very much like the sun - the moon is one of the primordial entities and
thus it has lore and beliefs written since the dawn of time. This makes it
difficult to separate facts from fiction and mad ramblings from hidden
truths. Consistent details among the myriad of stories seem to hint of
a god called Rher.
Also known as the Trickster God and the Moon God. In the most
ancient writings Rher is depicted as the god of the insane and those
who've succumbed to madness. His blessing to men is his
moonlight, which is said to uncover the truth under the human
filth. A truth that is often too much for a human mind to handle. It
can be debated whether his version of the truth is more accurate
than that of the human filth. Unlike many of the other older gods,
Rher's part is greater scheme of things remains a mystery. Just looking
at the night sky, you can see his presence, in an eternal slumber. This
makes his secrecy even more infuriating; he is literally hiding in plain sight.

Vinushka
The seed of Gro-goroth that had been fermenting for an
aeon, finally reached its maturity, and thus Sylvian
pushed a whole pinecone out of her loose abyss and
named her child Ninush. The cycle of destruction and
creation is seen in its purest form in nature. Thus, it
comes as no surprise that the very god of nature,
Vinushka is an offspring of the two older gods Gro-
goroth and Sylvian. Like the nature of mankind, the
nature of Vinushka too can change from fiery raging
volcanoes to serene grasslands where a gentle wind lull
one to sleep. The ancient tribes of men used to live in a
symbiosis with nature, with its cycles of destruction and
creation, but people grew greedy and hostile towards
the land they settled and ravaged natyre to give room
for their own civilizations. As people grew greedy and
hostile, so did Vinushka. A long war was waged to
determine who was to become the master and who the slave.
To everyone's surprise, or at least to my surprise, this resulted in the demise of Vinushka. For all tense [intents] and
purposes, nature is dead. Vinushka died by the hands of men. From this grievous realization comes the name of the
god. 'Vinushka', meaning guilt, the great guilt of mankind. The guilt will surely eat away the known world in time.
For now, faint traces of the god still linger in Vinushka's totems, deities that desperately search for the murdered
god in vain. Maybe these totems are the manifestation of human guilt. Once they understand the events that took
place, mankind will surely feel their grief too.
For now, it's best to exploit nature while we still can.

Vinushka
It is possible that the Owl Cultists are a sect of Vinushka followers given that they live in

Territorial effects: ➢ he territory where Vinushka reigns can become cursed, with barren areas or dead
vegetation. The creatures that inhabit the area can also be affected, becoming hostile or
suffering grotesque mutations consumed by its roots.
➢ Vinushka may be able to control the weather in the region where she reigns, generating
violent storms, acid rain, or even hurricanes.
➢ People who die in Vinushka's territories have their bodies degraded to give life to the
plants around them (as a kind of forest necromancy) and the spirits of the bodies wander
aimlessly through the woods.
➢ Nature creatures may end up merging and becoming an amalgam of plants and animals
or hybrid animals.
Festivity: Awonoku (passages of the dead through the forest)
Generally, creatures that are connected to the god of nature have the following abilities:
➢ They use d8 to roll their Health dice.
Typical ➢ They have the Survival, Animal Handling and Fighting Knowledge by default.
monstrosities: ➢ They may have the feats: Piercing Strike, Watchful, Tracker, or Escape plan.
➢ They have a Reflex and Celerity increase equal to their level (minimum 1).
Alll-mer
Alll-mer - The ascended one. One of the two humanborn
gods to this day. There are two stories of the origins of
Alll-mer.
The more common story speaks of a human born from a
virgin mother.
A mere mortal that had humble origins, but one that
quickly rose to prominence because of his teachings.
Unlike the warring kings and sultans of the time, Alll-
mer's ideal world united people of all different religions
and ideologies under one umbrella. The powers of the
time wouldn't stand up for this and quickly had him
arrested and sentenced for public humiliation and
eventual death on a cross. This only served Alll-mer's
purpose, making him a martyr and the pain he went
through pushed him over the edge to his ascension to the
true godhood. After his ascension, Alll-mer returned to avenge his death. The bloodbath that ensued shook the
world order and demolished the worship New Gods of the time had been enjoying.
The other version of Alll-mer's origins tells how Sylvian, the older god of fertility ordered a deity known as Vitruvia
to create an architectural reprography of a man and a woman that would be the likeness of Sylvian herself.
Vitruvia, being the master architect, did just that. Sylvian fell in love with the results. She went on and created
mankind according to Vitruvia's drawings. At first Vitruvia was amazed by the life Sylvian managed to usher into
her designs. However, over time Vitruvia started to see small imperfections here and there. Nothing bothered her
more than the idea that her designs were anything but perfect. So, she set out to create the perfect human being.
The pinnacle of man's potential. This being was born on the year nil and he is the one known as Alll-mer today.
On the surface level these stories don't contradict with themselves too much. But on an ideological level there are
interesting differences. The other story tells how a mortal everyday man rose to rival the powers of older gods,
while the other story makes Alll-mer just one more creation of the higher powers.
The truth might lie somewhere between these stories if you'd ask me.
"Alll-mer" is not capable of
creating monsters, and his

seed laid down by a false god. A god walking amongst men. Alll-mer
would gather 12 apostles from his most trusted companions. Together they were to bring back the old-world
order. Kings and sultans of the time would not stand idle when a man of undeniable god-like posture came
down to their golden city gates. Instead, they would capture Alll-mer. The newborn god would be nailed
onto a cross, arms spread wide - and be left for the crows to feast on. But Alll-mer was to ascend. Arms
still widespread from the cross he would soar. Becoming the symbol, we know of today. Turning his cross-
ridden posture into something greater. A symbol of hope and domination. Spending three days and night at
the city of the gods, Ma'havre, he would return among men. With his mourning 11 apostles he would murder
the kings and sultans of the time - as was just. Bringing back the old-world order."
The God of Fear and Hunger
The God of Fear and Hunger - There are many popular texts that tell of a false god and a
chosen human joining together in the darkest and the wettest of dreams. The forgotten
and long dormant God of the Depths perished that night. Only an older god never truly
perishes. In its stead, the God of Fear and Hunger planted its roots and
started to grow her influence on the surface world. The scheming false
deity had hoped her daughter would be the light of mankind. Only true
darkness does not breed light. The god of Fear and hunger was a pure child,
a blank slate birthed in the darkest pits of human creation. That is where she
grew, that is all she knew. She was the pure representation of fear and hunger,
not spoiled by even a glimmer of hope.
Mankind had seen its share of stagnation and suffering up to that point. To rise
from those perilous pits, growing pains were necessary. Progress comes at a price.
Fear motivated people while hunger kept them moving forward. People
cherished hardship and drew inspiration from it. The learned from it. What
followed was advancement that mankind had not seen since the forgotten
ages. The dark fumes that rise from pipes of modern cities are direct
consequences of this era. An era that came to be known as the Cruel
Age.

The God of Fear and Hunger

The God of Fear and Hunger presents cultists who dedicate their lives to living among
Cultists: the filth of rats. Many of these cultists sympathize with these animals and some
become hosts for these worms to hatch and feed on survivors.
Symbol:

➢ The God of Fear and Hunger not only provided the advancement of humanity, but
also brought something much stronger than any other existence in the world:
willpower.
➢ Fear and hunger can trigger a social collapse, with people fighting each other for
limited resources, forming rival factions and abandoning cooperation and
solidarity. Violence and conflict can become common, making life dangerous and
uncertain.
Territorial effects:
➢ The God of Fear can corrupt people's minds, leading them to madness and
paranoia. People may start seeing enemies everywhere, acting impulsively and
violently. Corruption can spread among leaders and authorities, creating an
atmosphere of mistrust and instability.
➢ Those who die from fear or hunger are corrupted by the slimy and viscous blood
of the God, causing them to return to life or become hosts to worms capable of
breeding in their flesh.
Festivity: The Great Day of the Plagues

➢ They have a Body and Mind increase equal to their level (minimum 1).
Sulfur God
The Sulfur God is an obscure entity. From the few tidbits we find about him,
we know he is an old deity. He seems to have been concieved during the
ascension of Alll-mer - while Alll-mer carved his idol to ascend into godhood,
his subconcious, hatred-filled parts were cast deep into the sulfur pits. His
symbol is a triangle inside another triangle, with an inverted cross beneath
them, showing him to be Alll-mer's antithesis.

Sulfur God
The Sun Cultists are insane, consumed by rage and hatred, resentment and pleasure in
suffering. They do everything in their power to try to kill themselves in the most
Cultists:
cruel, horrendous, and sinful way possible. The Sun Cultists commit mass murders and
engage in various abominable actions to join their God in the sulfur pits.

➢ The mere presence of the God of Sulfur can bring forth the great sulfur pits along
with crimson demons into reality. At its peak, it would mean practically an
apocalypse, the day of judgment.
➢ Natural disasters and epidemics would be recurrent.
Territorial effects:
➢ Kidnappings, murders, and any kind of torture would be practiced by the violence-
crazed or the demons.

Atrocity Skills and Divine Aberration

This topic is mainly for the creation and construction of unique creatures. This is because not all F&H creatures are
humanoid and have the Feats or Spells listed. In fact, most of them are deformed and possess unique and strange
characteristics related to their transformation. This section is usually not available to players and can only be used
by non-player-controlled creatures. However, as the Golden Rule states, you can allow your players to access this
section if they have a good explanation for the abilities (e.g., a conscious Moonscorch seeking revenge against its
deity Rher or a Flesh Marriage created by fanatic cultists).
These abilities are available to be obtained by any creature, regardless of which deity they belong to. A spawn of
Rher or Sulfur can acquire their recommended abilities and/or these ones if necessary.

 Equipment and Artillery
This section of the book is dedicated solely to the items existing within the world of F&H. Keep in mind that these
items may be restricted by the era or even by the lack of local resources. Note that throughout the entire book, no
specific monetary value or economic type of currency has been mentioned, as even in games, it is rare to encounter
merchants who truly exchange items and accessories for money. Therefore, the system was designed as a way to
reward players through exploration and defeating specific monsters. For example, if you want an axe, you can go to
the house of the deformed lumberjack and wait until he falls asleep to steal his axe, or kill a deformed creature and
use its serrated hand as a weapon.
- Money and Trades (Optional): Even though merchants are not prominent in Item Category cost
the game, they still exist. Therefore, if you are interested in a possible 0 1d10
monetary system, just remember that the items exchanged must be of the I 1d10 × 10
same or superior category, since no one would want to exchange a gold bar II 2d10 × 20
for a trash bag. You can also establish the following monetary value: III 3d10 × 30
- Monetary system from level (Optional): In the second game of the F&H IV 4d10 × 40
franchise, it is very common to obtain money from monsters found in the
locations. Which is somewhat plausible, since most of the people were Prehevil residents turned into creatures.
This rule is here more for the case you decide to implement the optional rule Money and Trades, so you can
know how to give money to your characters without them looking like used item resellers or that the trade
becomes practically barter. To calculate how many coins a creature has, simply roll a number of d10 equal to
the creature's level and multiply it by the creature's level again (creatures of level 1/2 or lower roll only 1d10,
however they keep the modifier). Ex: A level 5 creature when killed would give 5d10 times 5, obtaining 150
(7+5+8+6+4 = 30 x 5 = 150), giving enough money to buy some resources of category 0, 1 or 2.
The equipment is divided into several categories, namely: Weapons, Armors, Accessories, Healing Items, Food,
Crafting Materials and Miscellaneous.

The weapons section features the combat equipment that can be obtained, separated into Common and Tactical
weapons. It also presents the separation by Category, Damage, Effect, Range, Weight, and Type. The Effects will be
listed after the weapons table and the Range, if any, shows how far that weapon can reach. All items can be thrown
a number of squares equal to the character's Strength divided by 3, but they will only cause damage if they have the
throwable Effect. Weapons that have parentheses in their damage value means that if you wield that weapon with
both hands, it increases the damage. Type can be characterized as Slashing (S), Piercing (P), or Blunt (B).

The Armor section talks about a specific effect characterized as Defense. As

previously mentioned in this book in chapter (The Hall of the Gods:
Combat Rules), Defense serves as a damage reducer, so you reduce the
enemy's damage by a value equal to your Defense (minimum 1).
However, armor can also have
another value, which is its Penalty.
Due to the weight of the armor,
difficulty in movement, and noise, it
can present certain difficulties and
penalties. The Penalty value
decreases in your Evasion and
Stealth Knowledge tests, as well as
decreasing the same amount in your
Celerity Attribute.

Resistances: Every time you take damage from the same type that the armor has resistance to, add the Defense
value twice instead of once.
Bremen Empire armor: The segmented and well-structured armors of Bremen not only have a unique lightweight
composition, but also a special resistance against all types of projectiles, whether from firearms, bows, or
crossbows.
Vinland plate armor: Vinlandic armors feature an uncommon structure and material specially crafted in the land,
allowing the wearer to obtain resistance to Magic and Otherworldly damage.
Rondon armor: Rondonian Gothic armors feature inexplicable capabilities that have been explored by the
blacksmiths. They are mainly designed to aid warriors by providing resistance to Bleeding and Burn effects.
Edo battle armor: The material made of black iron, reinforced leather bindings, and alloy reforging make this armor
perfect. It is very rigid and thick to be penetrated by slashing attacks, making it so that every time someone tries to
sever a limb, you must flip a coin and choose heads or tails. If you win, you don't lose the limb, but still take the
damage; if you fail, the limb is lost.

- Weight: The weight of all armors is equal to their Defense value plus their Category.
 Accessories
Accessories are different from weapons and armor, after all accessories serve as an alternative way to use certain
Knowledges (such as toolkits) as well as to gain bonuses in Knowledges. It is worth noting that accessories also do
not have a well-structured physical form, being able to assume the description that you or your master desires, as
long as it agrees with what the accessory does. An example is Karin's Pilot jacket, Tanaka's Gentleman's hat, or
Isayah's Iron mask. All mentioned items are accessories that present bonuses and effects to their wearer.
There are 4 types of accessories: Clothing, Tools, and Equipment Kits.

➢ Clothing and Tools: Clothing is characterized as clothing or armor pieces that provide bonuses to their wearers,
and Tools are characterized as jewelry, necklaces, photos, and amulets with effects similar to Clothing. The
bonus provided by Tools and Clothing is equal to your category (Minimum 1 and maximum 3) to a Knowledge
test of your choice during character creation or chosen by the GM when this item is found during the campaign.
The bonuses provided by a piece of clothing/tool do not stack with the bonuses of another piece with the same
effects. Thus, two Evasion tools count only as +1.
- Difference between Clothing and Tools: Clothing needs to be equipped to function; you can equip up to
2 pieces of clothing at a time. On the other hand, equipment needs to be held in your hands to
function.
➢ Equipment Kits: Equipment Kits allow certain actions that are not possible in ordinary ways and require
specialized tools for the occasion. The following Knowledge types have kits:

 Special Accessories
Special Accessories are those that have something more than the norm, whether it's due to sentimental value,
historical significance, or extra-planar qualities, such as being magical or astral. Special accessories are categorized
as Accessories, but they have specific characteristics and are not available to players. This is because the items
presented, even though they may have a category, do not have rarity or quantified importance, as they are unique
for their own reasons.
That being said, when creating one of these items, you should first consider its form and how it presents itself. It
could be the severed head of a powerful ancient mage that communicates with you telepathically, or a knife given
to you by someone important during your childhood. Tools and clothing can transcend their normal forms and
become Special items, gaining unique properties either because they have gained significance or because they have
become stronger over time.
- Ritual Circles (Optional): As the GM, you can allow your players to forcibly ascend an item using Soul Stones.
This item automatically becomes a Special accessory and gains a special characteristic of the same or less
category as the transcended item. To ascend, a player must pay a number of Soul Stones equal to 10 times the
category of the ascended Tools or Clothing. Weapons and armor, however, cost 20 times instead of 10.
Special Characteristic Category Effect
Mod.
This item allows you to relax more than usual when you're near it. Whenever
Sentimental 1 you take a Rest Scene, you recover an amount of Fear Points equal to half
your Mind value.
This item gives you the ability to keep going even when everything seems to
say otherwise. Whenever you are at half your Health Points, you gain 1d4
Determinant 1
Health Points for each attack you successfully land. This effect ends once you
recover more than half your Health Points.
This item communicates with you, either because it is truly alive or because it
brings back memories of a better past. You have 4 charges, and you regain
Sentient 3 1d4 charges per Rest Scene. By spending one of the charges, you can gain
advantage on any Mind, Social, or Resistance tests (such as resisting
Terrifying Presence, resisting an attack, or forced tests).
This item is part of your body, just as you are part of it. This item grants you a
Feat or Spell that doesn't count towards your own Feats and Spells for the
Grafted 2
purpose of Level Up. If the item is removed, you lose the Feat and all the
benefits provided by it.
This item helps you in dangerous situations, defying the laws of reality or
Refractory 1
human beings themselves. You gain advantage on checks to end conditions.
This item brings you willpower, and more than that, it brings hope and
tranquility to your mind. You have advantage on Willpower tests, and once
per session, when you have a Phobia, you can make a Willpower (Mind) test
Unsubmissive 2
DC25 to temporarily remove your Phobia for an entire scene. The item's
advantage on Willpower tests does not apply when rolling the test to negate
the effects of the Phobia.
This item deals with forces beyond your understanding, preventing them
Enchanted 2 from distorting your mind. While holding this item in one of your hands, it
reduces the cost of your Spells by 2.
This item takes part of you, perhaps making you stronger but losing part of
the experience of living. You gain immunity to one of the following effects of
Artificial 3
your choice, but it's a one-time decision: Bleeding, Poisoned, Toxic, Burn,
Blindness, or Infected Part.
This item has flaws, but like you, it learns from its mistakes. Whenever you
Restructured 2 miss an attack or fail a Knowledge test, the next attack or Knowledge test will
have a modifier of +1 (up to a maximum of +4).
This item is a burden, but even the heaviest burden carries its
responsibilities. It allows you to choose one Atrocity Skill from the Deity
Cursed (Optional) 3
Aberrations list. If the item is removed, you lose the Atrocity Skill and all the
benefits provided by it.
 Healing Items

Curative items are any items that bring benefits to players or those who use them. Therefore, anything that
enhances physical or mental capabilities, or even secondary attributes such as health and fear, is considered a
Healing Item. It is also possible for stronger curative items to be repeated in the same session, albeit with a higher
category. This means that the item appears in its upgraded version, with increased abilities and effects.

White vial 1 You remove the Poisoned and Nausea conditions.
Wine vial 2 You regain 6d4+6 Fear Points.
Yellow vial 2 Regains 1d4 Hunger Points.
 Food

Food items are anything edible that can replenish your character's Hunger Points, but it doesn't
mean that it's always good for you to eat certain things. However, unlike other sessions and their
tables, food items replenish Hunger Points equal to their Category. If a food item is Category 0, it
may have an additional negative effect on the bearer, such as the need to make a Body test to avoid
becoming Nauseated or even Poisoned. Food items can come in different forms. For example, if

someone makes a Survival (Mind) test to find food and finds a Category 2 food item, they definitely didn't
stumble upon an apple pie in the middle of the forest, but rather a tasty fruit.
It's worth noting that food items can be found through Investigation tests in locations likely to have
food or through a Survival test. Food items can also be cooked during rests, and with a successful Craft
test, you can even increase the category of an item by 1 using materials such as salt, spices, and plants.

Crafting Materials

This section is more specifically dedicated not only to crafting items but also to diagrams. However, first, we need
to explain some basic concepts of the crafting mechanics in this system. Firstly, diagrams are pieces
of paper that detail how the construction works and the necessary equipment for an item. If you
choose a diagram as your starting item, you must assign this diagram to an item, whether it's a
Weapons, Armors, Accessories, Healing Items, Food or Miscellaneous. Once you have a diagram for
this item, you need the materials to build it. To construct an item, you need materials equal to the
item's Category + 2 in crafting materials.
Crafting items also have categories determined by the Game Master. However, these categories do not indicate the
rarity of the item but rather its usefulness in relation to the assigned diagram (e.g., a short sword has Category 1,
made of iron and wood. Therefore, a wooden stick and an iron tube in these cases can be considered as Category 1).
Some crafting items may have higher categories than the item in question, which means these items
are more suitable for construction than the preceding item and reduce the required quantities for
constructing the diagram equal to the Crafting Item's Category - Diagram Item's Category. [For
example, you can make a short sword with a wooden stick (Category 1) and an iron tube (Category 1),
but a broken short sword (Category 3) if repaired can be much better].
The crafting tests for each item depend on the Game Master, but generally, Category 0 have easy to
medium tests, Category 1 have medium to Hard tests, Category 2 have Hard to very Hard tests,
Category 3 have very Hard to almost impossible tests, and Category 4 have almost impossible to
impossible tests. However, just like having the right materials, the state of the diagram, the workplace,
and the time can influence these tests, they can also provide assistance.
Modifications: Modifications are an additional section within Crafting Materials, dedicated to item
enhancements and effect modifications. To add a modification, you must first have a modification diagram or
possess a Feat that grants you a modification diagram. Modifications themselves do not have categories, but when
added to an item, they increase the item's category (thus increasing the required amount of materials for its
creation), with a maximum increase of up to Category 4. A modification cannot be repeated on the same item.

Mortals who do not possess mastery of magical grace must content themselves with their mundane

 Book of the Beasts
This section is mainly dedicated to cataloging and categorizing some common monstrosities in this F&H world.
However, it's important to note that it's possible to create your own monster using the rules shown earlier, and this
section serves primarily as a reference for creating both the creature's character sheet and for understanding how
these monsters should be created.
- Terrifying Presence: One of the rules that was not mentioned previously during monster creation is the
terrifying presence, as it is quite subjective and defines how frightening a creature is. Therefore, a level 3
creature can be more terrifying than a level 5 one; there are no strict rules governing this. Typically, if the
creature is not meant to be terrifying, consider using a number of d6 equal to the Monster's Level (minimum 1)
and set the Difficulty Test (DT) of Willpower (Mind) to half the damage received in Fear Points, which is equal to
15 + Monster's Level (minimum 1).
- Parts and their attacks: Some attacks have parts directly linked to them, which means that if the part is
dismembered, that attack can no longer be used. Whenever it says "one arm" or "one leg," it means you need to
choose which of your arms will perform that attack.
- Rank: The monsters in this bestiary do not have ranks since they use different characteristics to classify their
abilities, health, and damage. Therefore, they do not have a specific classification and their difficulty can vary
depending on the master.
- Attributes: All the attributes listed below for the monsters are presented as modifiers already halved.

Trapper (Action/One Arm): Trapper: If the Villager chooses this feat, they can, using an action, ensnare an
enemy within a distance of 5 times their Mind with a hidden trap. The chosen target must make a Coin Toss
test, and on a failure, they will suffer 5d6 damage to the leg and have a 50% chance of leg dismemberment (roll
1d4, 1-2 for right leg and 3-4 for left leg). After using this ability, it cannot be used again until the next day.

Attacks
Common Arsenal (Special): Villagers possess an arsenal of common weapons used in everyday life. Choose one
of the following weapon attacks to be the unique weapon attack that this Villager possesses: Staff, Cleaver,
Scythe, or Hunting Rifle.
Staff (Action/One Arm): The Villager makes a melee attack with Fighting (Strength) and, on a hit, deals 1d6+1
blunt damage. This attack has the characteristics Heavy (included in the attack), Inaccurate, and Long Range.
Cleaver (Action/One Arm): The Villager makes a melee attack with Fighting (Strength) and, on a hit, deals 1d6
slashing damage. This attack has the characteristics Bleeding Chance (25%) and Inaccurate.
Scythe (Action/One Arm): The Villager makes a melee attack with Fighting (Strength) and, on a hit, deals
1d4+2 slashing damage. This attack has the characteristics Agile (included in the attack), Balanced, and
Concealed.

reinforcements to aid them. Once per day, the Priest
summons another Priest (without the Inquisition attack)
or one Villager to help. The Priest's allies will arrive after
1d4-1 (minimum 1) turns.

High Priest (Optional): Priests are commonly

encountered spellcasters in Fear & Hunger games,
with few exceptions such as Father Hugo. If you
want to make this enemy more challenging, you can
grant them additional Spells or even Affinity skills,
making them a stronger entity. Keep in mind that
Priests are already formidable enemies on their
own, so this can make them even more dangerous.
Inhuman (Optional): Some Priests may be so
devoted to their deity that they take on inhuman or
aberrant forms. If you decide to give an aberrant
form to this creature, you can choose to give it 1 or
2 Atrocity Skills, thereby changing its enemy class
from human to inhuman.

Abyssal Power: Aberrations possess specific types of powers and can choose one from the following: Gazing into the
Abyss, True Domination, Pain and Only Pain.

Gazing into the Abyss (Full Turn/Eyes): When you gaze into the abyss, it watches you intently. The monster can
spend a Full Turn to reveal the true fear of humanity. Make a Toss Coin test, and on a failure, you suffer the damage
from the monster's Terrifying Presence again, without the opportunity to defend yourself.

True Domination (Once per scene/Full Turn/Arms): You learn who should be dominated and who should be ruled, in
the worst possible way. The monster can spend a Full Turn to demonstrate True Domination. You must make a Toss
Coin test, and on a failure, roll 1d10 and consult the body part location table to see which limb you have lost (If it
falls on the torso, you gain Bleeding and Fracture; if it falls on the head, you must make a Martyr test).

Pain and Only Pain (Once per scene/Full Turn/Arms: And it's the end, let your hope vanish and plead for mercy
from the Gods. Once per scene, the creature, with a free action, can force you to make a Martyr test.

Attacks (four Actions)

Heavy Punch (Action/One Arm): The Aberration makes a
melee attack with Fighting (Strength) and, on a hit, deals
2d6+Strength blunt damage.
Regeneration (Action/Especial Limb of GM choice): The
creature can make a Tolerance (Body) test and must
surpass the value of the last damage received in order to
recover Health Points equal to the last damage, thus
negating it.

Special
Let's play (special): Pocketcat is an intelligent and mischievous being, not physically
harming people but rather targeting their inner selves. When a Combat Scene starts
against Pocketcat, all players receive a random Trick until the end of the scene
determined by 1d8. Anyone who fails to follow the Trick risks losing 3d6 Fear Points.
The Tricks are:
1 - At the end of each turn (whether yours or someone else's), you must imitate a cat.
2 - You must spell out your next action (correctly!).
3 - Whenever someone interacts with you, whether in or out of the game (but still
within the RPG context), you must speak in a child's voice.
4 - Every time someone successfully hits an attack, you have to stand up and applaud
them.
5 - Every time you successfully hit Pocketcat, you have to share an interesting fact about
something you know.
6 - Once everyone has taken a turn, you have to hug someone who accepts your hug (if Drawn by hanstrmoft
you can't hug anyone, it is considered that you didn't fulfill the Trick).
7 - You have to pretend to do something very embarrassing (even if it's a lie) at the end
of your turn, and you must stick to your word.
8 - Roll twice and perform both Tricks (Ignore result 8).
Attacks (Four Actions)
Talk (Action/Head): Pocketcat talks, and talks, and talks a lot. Everyone within 10 squares of
Pocketcat must roll Willpower (Mind) against the Diplomacy (Social) check or lose time, suffering
one of the conditions determined by 1d4: 1 - Confused, 2 - Surprised, 3 - Irritated, 4 - Lose 1d6
Hunger Points.
Pocket Scratch (Action/One Arm): Pocketcat gently scratches its pocket, and all players must vote on
who of the players should not act during that turn (in case of a tie, everyone can only take 1 action).
Jokes (Action/Head): Pocketcat talks about funny but morbid things, and it makes a Diplomacy
(Social) check against the target's Willpower (Mind) check. On a successful hit, the target loses 2d6
Fear Points.
Choose What You Want to Lose (Full Turn/One Arm): One player of Pocketcat's choice must flip a
coin. If it fails, they must choose a limb to be dismembered or take 10d6 damage and not lose the
limb.

In this section, there are some explanations of certain things that were not well discussed in the other chapters.
These are things that can also be used to enhance your campaigns or even help create a campaign from scratch.

Story Creation
Well, taking as an example all the Fear & Hunger stories and how they are structured, we can notice a certain
pattern that is often repeated, following the following formula: Presentation of a Scenario, a God that affects this
Scenario, and alternative endings. To improve both the Scene mechanics and facilitate the understanding of how
we will structure this story, think of it in the following way: Scenarios are sets of events and Scenes that occur
throughout a campaign, with several events unfolding alongside the main ones that occur from the first to the last
RPG session.
Now that we have everything pre-established, think about essential things for your story and fill out the Chronicle
Sheet. The filling happens as follows:
➢ First, you establish the date when the current events of your world will occur and the name of the region where they take
place. Next, you decide on the game style, whether it is more focused on combat and action or investigative and
mysterious. In this part, it is advisable to use
movie genres as descriptive terms for your

CHRONICLE SHEET
campaign, such as action, horror, mystery,
drama, comedy, etc.
➢ After that, you will provide an initial plot that
the characters must follow, keeping it brief for
easy understanding and follow-up. In the Main Era
Quest section, you will describe in more detail Local Name
how the missions will be, either in a single Game Style
sentence or in small topics. Initial Plot
➢ In the Allies, Enemies, and Antagonists section, Main Quests
you will list the characters that will be used to
go against or in favor of the players. It is best to
include only the names of the characters and
one characteristic to make them easy to
remember, without going into too much detail. Allies
The difference between enemies and
antagonists is that enemies will be creatures or
people who will attack without much purpose
or with trivial purposes. You should also not
provide too much detail about them, just list
Enemies Antagonists
their names (e.g., Guards from the first game or
Moonscorched from the second). Antagonists
are people who are clearly and objectively
against the protagonists, often presenting valid
arguments for their actions.
➢ In the Settlements section, you can list specific Settlements
locations that exist in the region where the
protagonists will be situated. This will make it
easier for you to remember the regions and
facilitate navigation between them. You can
also draw arrows to indicate which regions are
connected, helping you remember the paths to
reach each place. Protagonists Supporting Characters
➢ In the Side Quest section, you have the freedom
to create some missions that are not directly
related to the main quest but are useful for
rewarding the players. Finally, in
Particularities, you can include information
that is specific to your table, such as a GM's
homebrew or details about altered stories from
Side Quests
previous sessions.

What a beautiful narrative, splendid,

mesmerizing, and fervent chronicle
Particularities
presented before my misty view.
