Bar the Windows, Bolt the Doors
Bar The Windows BoltThe Doors is a tabletop roleplaying game (RPG) where players take on the roles of outsiders in an isolated cabin located deep within dark woods. After surviving through long nights spent indoors with no windows to let any light into their abode, they must fight off terrifying foes such as cultists and undead who are attracted by something sinister residing nearby -- something that has been hiding out for decades! The game requires players' cooperation in order to avoid the dangers of this supernatural realm. This RPG is intended for those looking for a fun horror-themed one-shot with atmospheric illustrations, maps of various locations within an isolated cabin/camp and card decks containing allusions to cults or undead that can be used at your table as well! The Winter expansion adds even more monsters in the form of vampires, werewolves, demons, zombies (which are insectoid) -- and many other frightening creatures.
