Pelgrane Press<p>In 1616, Margaret Vincent’s tragic crime hid something darker: the influence of a heavensender—an Outer Dark Entity that feeds on social unrest and spiritual despair. A chilling glimpse of horror woven into real history. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GUMSHOE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GUMSHOE</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/HorrorGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HorrorGaming</span></a><br><a href="https://bit.ly/3FRVql4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">bit.ly/3FRVql4</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Pelgrane Press<p>Not every horror needs a monster. Some are places. Outer Dark Intersections in Esoterrorists are locations warped by unnatural influence—haunted structures that feed on thought, fear, and belief. You’re not just in danger… you’re inside it. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Esoterrorists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Esoterrorists</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GUMSHOE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GUMSHOE</span></a><br><a href="https://bit.ly/3RuLv7p" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">bit.ly/3RuLv7p</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Pelgrane Press<p>Just seeing an Outer Dark Entity might rewrite your brain. 🧠 In Esoterrorists, neurological trauma from ODE contact includes everything from PTSD to bizarre syndromes.

Pelgrane Press<p>In Esoterrorists, the Membrane separates our world from the Outer Dark. Fear weakens it—let it shatter, and horrors slip through.

Brian Rogers<p>Yesterday’s game had some lovely bits of pure improvisation: the PCs learned that the person they suspect is the lieutenant of the big bad used money stolen from them to ingratiate herself into the wealthy and quickly became the social secretary of an elderly noblewoman, when, by great coincidence, her prior secretary vanished. </p><p>“What happened to the prior secretary?” They asked and the answer “hell if I know she was throwaway color” wasn’t good…<br>1/4<br><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/SwordsOfTheSerpentine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SwordsOfTheSerpentine</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Sots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sots</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/gumshoe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gumshoe</span></a></p>
