Our Woodland Gods

Our Woodland Gods is a GMless, table-top role-playing game where you explore ancient horrors via the safe, cozy lens of a "mostly-innocent" animal-folk village! 

Okay, so... you belong to a cult? 

Don't worry, that's totally normal. Your fellow villagers are all cultists too. You live your lives; throwing parties, going fishing, roasting marshmallows, and chanting under the full moon. And when your god demands the sacrifice of old Uncle Joe? That's okay! It's how you all survive the Eldritch Woods. It's how you stay safe from the evil Heretics.

But three days ago, your god died!

Now you must gather your pact, safeguard your village, and seek out a new god among the horrors of the Eldritch Wood. If you don't succeed, everything you know and love will be lost forever...

Is it cozy or is it horror?

It's both! The characters you play, the bonds they share, the community they serve, and the village tasks they must do are as cute and cozy as you want them to be.

But the world they live in is undeniably horrific! The woodland itself is fraught with terrors. The heretics want to murder you. The wandering Eldritch Beasts want to eat you. And the gods you find might demand some rather unsavory acts of devotion.

How does it work?

Our Woodland Gods is played without a game master, giving each participant equal weight and control. Nobody has to ask for permission when their characters do things— but you may have to beg for forgiveness later...

The game book guides you through an entire campaign, walking your group through character and world creation, giving you sections to read aloud, telling you when to add tokens to various pools, and providing questions to ask when the players need to make a choice.

Simply gather some friends, a deck of cards, and a pile of tokens. Then jump claws-first into the story! Everything you need to know will be explained along the way.
