Welcome to Backwater A Southern-Gothic Horror Game Please note: this is a hack for our SHIVERS system. It's based on our main TTRPG series by the same name—Backwater: Southern Gothic Horror Tabletop Roleplaying This southern-gothic horror game explores fear, poverty, religion, and alienation through its southern U.S. setting, along with criticism of superficial values as depicted in the region’s decaying structures and aristocratic families. It can contain monsters and the supernatural, though the true horrors are often humans themselves. This game also incorporates themes and characters of folk tales, especially those born of the southern U.S. and deals with the devil.
