Description:The air out here is thick as tar, weighing down the neck of each inhabitant of Scarstone, Louisiana. Something recognizable still prevails in town, if only just; the ragtag bundle of folks who make their home here have learned to live with the beasts, the tides, and the flocks of somber strangers that are ferried in on the riverboat to vanish like ghosts in the Bayou beyond. The Moorhead Boarding House still keeps beds made and free of bloodstains. The Eager Mason’s polished glasses still sparkle in the flicker of the hearth. Someone is always there to sweep up the mats of hair that occasionally drop from the weeping willows in Potter Square. It is an admirable effort. You have abandoned it now.With Scarstone’s lights at your back, you check your supplies one last time. The last friendly sight in all the world waits a few yards from your shoes: the gossamer-winged fireflies that mark the Border, and warn against the endless shifting horror beyond. Their faint glow winks cheerfully from the blade of someone else’s boot-knife.The ring of lights does not startle away at your intrusion. It will not move aside for you—you must shoulder through it, swallow your fears, and choose again with every step to enter the grisly unknown that is the Bayou. It gets more familiar, but it never gets easier.This mud will be the death of you. But perhaps it won’t be the death of you tonight.Welcome to Gravemire, a horror TTRPG by Sylvan Lawrence, published by Clawhammer Games. Set in an uncanny, creature-infested version of 1890s Louisiana, Gravemire uses an original D12-based system of mechanics and a deliberate focus on character relationships to help players tell meaningful stories of fallible people coping with unfathomable odds.The Game:Gravemire is a tabletop roleplaying game about death, growth, horror, and survival, based in an original mechanical framework and set in the churning waters of the Louisiana bayou circa 1894. Players slip into the roles of outsiders arriving in the town of Scarstone, a rural outpost that has been warped by a terrible transformation known as the Convulsion. Once, Scarstone was surrounded by similar towns. The Bayou once had an end. Now, unknowable numbers of horrors seep through the uncharted backwaters, strange magic contorts reality to its whims, and the settlements that called Scarstone their neighbor jut half-ruined from the mire like bones from a wound. Times have changed.Folk like you drift into Scarstone in a steady trickle. Maybe you’re a researcher, or a monster hunter. Maybe you’re just on the run. Whoever you are, the good people of Scarstone will not open their hearts to you easily; they’ve grown used to the stream of hopefuls, all trying to make their mark on the shifting swamp. One day soon, they expect you will find your place there, buried under that mud that sucks at your shoes even now, and they’ll never see you again.They’re right, too.You see, Gravemire is a game about surviving the Bayou, but it’s also a game about not surviving the Bayou. Every time you push your way through the Border, you gamble with the life of the character you play. It is a gamble that you are likely to lose sooner or later. When you do, the waters will be waiting to claim you, and the boatman on the other side will be waiting to help you pick up the pieces, escort a new soul into the light of the boarding house, and try again. This, then, is the driving crux of Gravemire: how do you try again? How do you commit to a character you expect to lose? We leave it up to you to decide; all we can provide you is the tools to make your journey. Welcome, friend.
