Ghostlight: Dark Academia Roleplaying

Welcome to Manfred College of the Arts, a private institution with more secrets than an episode of daytime television. Imagine a sprawling Gothic estate, built with old money and even older grudges, now serving as an elite arts school in the sleepy coastal town of Heathcliff, Massachusetts. Think you’ve seen it all before? Not quite. Manfred’s reputation for producing top-tier talent in theater, fine arts, and music barely scratches the surface of what’s really going on behind those ivy-covered walls. If surviving cutthroat auditions wasn’t stressful enough, just wait until you realize the place is also crawling with ghosts, witches, and a few things that don’t have names. Welcome to Ghostlight, where nailing that audition might be the least of your concerns.

Christmas Horror

Christmas Horror invites you to step into the shadowed glow of the holiday season, where the warm twinkle of lights disguises a creeping chill. This isn’t your standard holiday fare packed with cheesy jokes or re-skinned monsters. No, this is something deeper, a secular and cultural exploration of Christmas through the lens of fear and unease, stripped of religious overtones for reasons that should go without saying. What you’ll find here is a toolkit designed to unearth the raw spirit of the season, capturing its joy, its sorrow, and its uncanny potential to unsettle.

This sourcebook puts the focus squarely on storytelling and character. It’s not about slashing through enemies or hunting for treasure under a holiday tree; it’s about choices that matter. The setting offers familiar elements, frost-covered streets, the buzz of crowded markets, the quiet solitude of snow-covered woods, but twists them into something that lingers in your mind long after the session ends. Every decision carries weight, and every consequence ripples through the narrative, building tension that stays just out of sight, waiting to pounce.
