The sun may be shining, but the British countryside is still filled with shadows...
From village fairs and heritage sites to big cats and isolated churches,
Darkened Hill & Dale unveils the lurking horrors of the modern British countryside in seven system-agnostic scenarios.
A mix of cosmic and folk horror, the scenarios contain unique situations and threats to negotiate, and are intended to run in 1–3 sessions and with a variety of systems.
While these scenarios are set in Britain, most should be adaptable to other locations as they’re all based in fairly rural locales. Suggested frames for player groups and notes on scenario structure are included.
Darkened Hill & Dale is provided with a folder containing 21 pieces of handout ephemera (3 items per scenario) for players including maps, news articles, folklore book extracts, flyers, and more.
Darkened Hill & Dale is also accompanied by access to a collection of location reference photos and a spoiler-free content warning list for GMs to share with players, and background images for use on virtual tabletop platforms.
This edition of Darkened Hill & Dale also includes a copy of the digital (PDF) edition; these files will be available to download immediately following purchase. The digital edition includes the full book in PDF format, a digital version of the player handouts, a spoiler-free list of content warnings, background images for use in VTT games, a collection of location reference photos, and a link to the Patchwork Fez Games Discord community.

This book is a joy. The NPC's are plausible and easy to picture, which is essential when running an adventure.
The situations are genuinely creepy; and, while it often draws on established folk horror tropes and myths, it almost always gives them an original twist.
Where the compilation really stands out, though, is in putting it's creepy setups in something that feels like ordinary Britain. I've never seen that done so well in an RPG. I'm looking froward to running these, and eagerly awaiting the next instalment of 'This Blighted Isle'.
Lovely, detailed information provided.
