The World and your Lands
Though the world of Fear & Hunger is geographically similar to the real world, it has a variety of differing
regions shaped by the gods and monsters which influence its lands. The series has been physically set in only two
nations, but other regions can be learned about through information gained from various characters and books.
As both games are set on Europa (analogous to real-life Europe), the world is viewed from an evolving Western
perspective.
Abyssonia
I love new kinds of magic, yet I hate the fanaticism of these men. - Enki
Ankarian
Bohemia
Not much is known about Bohemia's history beside its past about the conflicts between Kingdom of
Rondon and Eastern Sanctuaries, other than that it is a relatively small and rural nation. There are no current
references to its flag or uniform, but the lion on one of the brass city keys appears to be Bohemia's national
animal.
Bremen Empire
A prosperous Europan nation, the Bremen Empire has marked itself as a force to be reckoned with over the course of
the two Great Wars.
Though it has an established nobility, its government has been rocked by populist movements culminating in
violence and domestic turmoil. This resulted in the appointment of Kaiser to the country's chancellorship, despite
his lack of prior involvement in national politics. After taking power on January 31, 1936, Kaiser quickly began
to expand the Bremen reign, uniting nearby nations under the new empire's banner and forming a special
military unit, "The Marching Men of the Night's Day".
Kaiser's rise to power escalated tensions between Bremen and the Eastern Union, eventually culminating in the
Second Great War. The Bremen Empire was suspected of various atrocities and horrors during its lengthy
campaigns, which aimed to conquer its neighbor, Bohemia. Eventually succeeding in this goal, Kaiser signed a
peace treaty with the Eastern Union in 1942, occupying the city of Prehevil to gain control over the "advanced
electronic network experiments" being conducted there.
Eastern Sanctuaries
A land to the east of Europa. The region's capital and holy city, Jettaiah, is a hotspot for trade
between the west and the east. A place where poverty and riches can be seen side by side in
streets filled with exotic scents from spice vendors, it is notable for being the birthplace of the
old god Alll-mer.
The Eastern Sanctuaries are referred to as a sultanate, at some point in history ruled
by Nas'hrah, an extremely power-hungry New God who led his lands into multiple campaigns
against the Kingdom of Edo during the 8th century, which proved to be fruitless expansion
endeavours. Regardless of his inability to conquer Edo, Nas'hrah's certain respect for the warring arts of his
adversaries led him to form Yansa Aryuaban, a new country inside the borders of the Eastern Sanctuaries that
had high-status war prisoners from Edo appointed as central figures and ordered to mimic the ways of Edo as
closely as possible, breeding a warrior class for the so-called 'eternal kingdom'. Although it took hundreds of
years, ultimately Nash'rah's wish was granted with the warrior class Jizamurai, born in the Yansa Aryuaban.
Nash'rah's cultural influence is also imprinted in the existance of the Yellow
Mages, a sect of magical practitioners who use otherworldly powers only to
their own benefit and to further their own agendas instead of dedicating
their lives to worship. Although their presence has been slowly fading over the
years, they still can be found revelling in chaos as their master's ideology
states.
The Eastern Sanctuaries' history of peculiar approaches to otherworldly
powers does not stop with Nas'hrah's followers, however - its spice production
goes much beyond food flavoring, as spice forges were widely used by
magick practitioners back in the day to customize the properties of one's
otherworldly skills. The eternal kingdom is also home to a sect of sorceresses
called the Virgin Mages, notorious for being the creators of the Warding Sigil skill. Currently, the majority of
local temples in the Eastern Sanctuaries have adopted Alll-mer as their principal religion, mirroring a trend that
has occurred across Europa.
In the twentieth century, the Eastern Sanctuaries formed the Eastern Union by partnering with the Voroniyan
Republic. Nevertheless, the region is currently experiencing ongoing internal unrest. The authorities' persistent
oppression of the populace has led to the emergence of numerous civil rights organizations, which frequently
organize protests. However, these demonstrations are often met with violent reactions from the military.
The Eastern Union became involved in the Second Great War when it was attacked by the Bremen Empire, which
hoped to expand into its occupied territory of Bohemia. Despite allying with the nations of Rondon and Oldegård,
the Eastern Union experienced devastating losses, prompting it to resort to enlisting child soldiers. As the morale
of its military collapsed, the Bremen Empire occupied and subjugated Bohemia, prompting the two nations to sign
a peace treaty. In doing so, the Eastern Union lost access to the network of bunkers it had constructed beneath the
Bohemian city of Prehevil, where it had been researching "advanced electronic network experiments".
The Kingdom of Oldegård was said to be described as being independent and that they
are known for their iron wills and advanced ships, which allows them to sail to the
unknown western part of the world.
Oldegård was said to have discovered the far away western continent, Vinland, in
1009. During the twentieth century, Oldegård became involved with the Second
Great War event, which result it into the conflict against the Bremen
Empire and a necessary alliance coalition with Rondon and Eastern Union.
Rondon
A great western kingdom, known to be the center of western civilization. The Kingdom of Rondon
claimed to follow the will of the gods in its pursuit for more power, although it meets
through the difficult times with the development issues which caused the small
mercenary army, also known as Knights of the Midnight Sun to be originated from this kingdom
with the use of reign expansion. The kingdom is notable in that it houses the infamous Dungeons of
Fear and Hunger, which are used by the Rondonian monarchs and lords as a place to send their
convicted criminals to be housed in. However, they have since lost control of the dungeons because of the
darkness and the black that exudes from it and that it is uncontrollable and spreads its influence
and tendrils to anyone that dare set foot in the dreaded area.
Rondon is still functioning as a kingdom around 1940's; The kingdom dealt with
involvement of the Second Great War, causing to forge alliance with Eastern
Union and Oldegård with conflict against the Bremen Empire.
"The great western Kingdom of Rondon. The center of western civilization. It was once formed out of hundreds of small warring nations and
tribes to fight under one flag." - Enki Ankarian.
Vinland
Little is known about Vinland due to its distance from Europa and its
incredibly hostile environment. The land is known for being tainted by
strange and unknown deities, which have left the continent engulfed in a
constant, gloomy darkness. Vinland's soil is rocky and barren, preventing most
plant life and making the landscape resemble "a colorless black mass".
Vinland was not visited by anyone from Europa until the year 1009, when the first
known mention of the land was recorded by Oldegårdian sailors. Explorers from
Oldegård, would later visit the continent in 1577 in search of resources and treasures.
Though many of these explorers would be killed or driven mad by the otherworldly environment, the
survivors ultimately succeeded in recovering the Cube of the Depths. Explorers would eventually nickname the
continent "Wine Land" due to the amount of wine one needed to drink to forget about their horrific experiences
there.
Though Oldegård would eventually form a trade route would between Europa and Vinland, colonization efforts
struggled. By 1942, the continent has still not been explored or colonized in a great capacity. Luxuries native to
the continent, such as tobacco and "Old Vinland" whiskey, remain highly valuable.
Though Vinland has largely been described as being unsettled, the continent does appear to have its own advanced
native cultures, as is evidenced by the presence of warrior tribes in the northern parts of the continent.
The Creation of the Tormented
This part is dedicated exclusively to character creation and how it should be done. Therefore, some basic TRPG
concepts must be established, such as the use of dice, rolls, bonuses, attributes, character sheet, etc.
Thus, we come to the following interpretations:
logical reasoning, history, world knowledge, arts,
sciences, etc.

Creation of the tormented
To create your tormented character, you should first think of simpler concepts such as Name, Age, Appearance,
and Personality. First, think about the character mold you want and ask your GM important questions such as
"Where will the story be situated?" or "What time period will it be in?" so that you can have a character that fits well
into the world planned by your narrator. You can also think about where your character was born, and they can
even come from unknown places since the world of Fear and Hunger has not been fully explored yet. Think of this
initial phase as the Initial Creation of the Character Concept.

The Hall of the Gods
As the game master, you are the architect of the world that your players are about to inhabit. You are responsible
for creating the challenges, bringing non-playable characters to life, and, above all, telling the story that will be
uncovered by the players. It's a demanding task, but it's also extremely rewarding. In this chapter, we will explore
some of the main mechanics of the system that you need to know to become a skilled master, as well as some tips
and tricks for narrating with fluency and bringing the game world to life.

die and +7 bonus), so Bobby starts first. Bobby makes three attacks against Levi, rolling Strength + Fighting
and achieving a total of 16 (8 on the die + 5 Strength + 3 Fighting), but Levi achieves a total of 17 (9 on the die
+ 5 Reflex + 3 Evasion), so the attack misses. But don't be too happy, Mike, that was only the first attack.
Bobby makes the other two attacks, scoring 17 and 15, while Levi only scores 15 and 9 on evasion, so he receives
an attack. Bobby then rolls a d10 to determine the location of the attack and scores 6, which hits Levi's right arm,
dealing 6 damage (12 on 3d6 divided by 2), leaving him with 14 (20-4).
Levi is having a lot of luck and feels duty-bound to quickly eliminate this creature. He uses an item, Pep Pills,
which gives him +2 Speed and Reflex, totaling 8 Speed and granting him an extra action (number of turns
equals Speed divided by 4, rounded down, and at least 1). He uses his second action and uses the Gunslinger
ability to aim at Bobby's head, using only 1 standard action instead of a full turn and losing 7 Fear Points in
the process, leaving him with 9 Fear Points (16-7).
The action returns to Bobby, who makes three more attacks, scoring 11, 10, and 13, while Levi scores 12, 13, and
14, evading all attacks. Levi then ends the combat on his turn, a natural 10, for a total of 19 to hit (10+6+3).
Levi then uses his Rifle on Bobby's head and rolls 8d4 (4d4 for the rifle, but since he was aiming at the head
4d4×2 = 8d4), and on the die, he scores a total of 26 damage. Since Bobby does not wear any armor, he takes the
full 26 damage directly to the head. Therefore, the game master narrates that Levi lands a precise shot to Bobby's
skull, killing him instantly and giving Levi the victory.
Martyrdom
Every time a character reaches 0 Hit Points, they enter into Martyrdom. This condition requires the player to flip
5 coins and choose whether they want Heads or Tails (1 or 2). If the character gets their DESIRED result the
number of times indicated in the table, they return to 1 Hit Point and can take actions normally. Otherwise, they
die immediately. However, every time the character enters the Martyrdom condition after the first time they fall,
until the next rest scene, the number of times they need to get their DESIRED result to stabilize increases by +1.
➢ Exploration Scene: The goal of exploration scenes is to achieve something intellectually, through interaction
with objects and environments rather than people. While a crime scene and solving puzzles are obvious
examples of exploration, it can be as simple as exploring a forest or desert. In some situations, there are no
challenges involved and the characters discover the mysteries of the environment as the master describes what
they see. But in other moments, there are difficulties to be overcome, such as searching an ancestral library for
arcane secrets. While rules and tests can be important, the players' own ideas are fundamental here. Many
exploration scenes are resolved through careful observation by the players and their ideas for dealing with the
environment. However, an excess of exploration scenes can lead to a monotonous adventure, dominated by the
master's descriptions while the players have little action. On the other hand, a lack of exploration can result in
adventures without wonders and discoveries, in known and predictable environments.
Whenever you increase an attribute, everything related to that attribute increases along
with it, so if you increase your Body by 1, you receive 4 more Hit Points.
Remember that Soul Stones are a representation of what should be the experience in
TTRPG, but it doesn't necessarily need to be an item like in games. It can have various
aspects and can be molded in the way you want. For example, a very strong monster
like the Crow Mauler could give 3 Soul Stones, but that doesn't mean it has 3 souls,
but rather that its soul is strong enough to match 3 people. However, fighting
against 3 zombies could give only 3 Soul Stone shards because they are very weak.
Effects
Concussion A target with Concussion cannot perform any kind of action and receive a -5 penalty for all Defense test during their turn
(x) for a number of turns determined by (x). If they receive an attack, they will exit the state of Concussion.

the effect, a Medicine test (DT 15) must be made.
Poisoned In general, poison is a substance that causes damage to the character and may have additional effects depending on the
(x) type of poison. But if the effects are not specified, assume that it causes an amount of damage indicated by (x).
Toxic (x) Toxicity is a more severe and potent poison, whenever someone is under the effects of toxicity, they take a d10 amount of
damage equal to the number indicated by (x).
Infected You are suffering from an infected wound. If you don't heal the wound within a number of turns equal to your Body value,
Part you will enter the Dying state. This effect is linked to the body part that was hit and infected, so removing the infected
limb will cure the effect.
Blindness You receive a -2 penalty on all Attack, Defense, and vision-related tests.
Terror Someone in a state of terror has their Fear Points reduced to zero. Anyone in this state must exit it within at least 3 turns
or they will lose their character. The counter resets at the end of a scene.

day you don’t get your fix. If you fail, you can think about nothing but getting your fix and take a -5 to all other actions.
Every day you don’t get your fix you increase your Mind Test (for the sake of this check) by 1, making it harder and
harder to keep making the checks. Any time your addiction is offered to you, you must make a Mind Test (DT10) roll
(modified by the number of days you haven’t had your fix) to not partake immediately. You can kick an addiction by
going for 3 weeks without indulging in your addiction. You don’t need to make successful addiction checks; you just
can’t partake in the addiction
Irritation The character suffers a -2 penalty on Mind and Social tests.
Burn The character is on fire. At the beginning of their turns, they take 2d6 fire damage. The character can spend a standard
action to put out the fire with their hands. Immersion in water also extinguishes the flames.

first stage causes you to gain a Phobia, and the second stage causes you to gain Panphobia.
Light The character suffers -2 on attack and Perception tests.
Sensitive
Injured Someone injured is below half their hit points and is more susceptible to losing limbs. Whenever you are below half your hit
points and an enemy rolls a critical hit, you lose the limb that was attacked (excluding the head and torso).
Prone You are on the ground, which leaves you defenseless. When you lose both legs or are knocked down in some way, all attacks
against you receive +2.
Grappled The character and the grappled target can't take movement actions, suffer -2 on attack tests, and can only attack with
weapons weighing 1 or less. A character making a ranged attack against a target involved in a grapple has a 50% chance
of hitting the wrong target.
Difficulties, Monsters and Phobias
Thinking that your friends have already created their characters and everyone knows how to play, it's time to
really create an adventure and a story. Create a scenario in which all these characters will interact and think
about things that can interfere in the lives of these tormented souls. Knowing that the plot of the first game and
Termina revolves around gods, you can end up creating your own gods or even using the ancient ones.
Regardless, Fear and Hunger is essentially a Dungeon Crawler at its core. Feel free to place these characters in a
closed scenario of a dungeon or an abandoned city. But be sure to impose certain limits and rules before starting
the session:
➢ Sexuality: Fear and Hunger touches on very sensitive issues and often playing a game about this subject is
different from hearing these issues coming out of the mouth of a friend or acquaintance about someone that
you are technically playing. Therefore, this is one of the main topics to be discussed. Sometimes people may
not feel comfortable with rape, but they don't mind a shallow description of a naked man. Sometimes even the
mention of things in this way can cause embarrassment. But understand that this is a game and should be
played by everyone, so no mention of sex or sexuality has been made in this book so far precisely to leave it
open for discussion between GM and Players.
➢ Violence: Okay, this topic is also debatable, even though the game mentions bleeding, dismemberment, and
various types of different mutilations, think that there are people who may not like this level of gratuitous or
even senseless violence. Torture and descriptions of carnage should be discussed before even considering
playing in this system.
➢ As all Fear & Hunger stories revolve around Gods and deities, whether they are new or old. Your story can also
revolve around this, it doesn't necessarily have to be about this, but the main theme of this book is that. And
since Gods are a presence that alters the fate of the world and occasionally directly interfere in essential
events in people's lives, here we will present some mechanics for you to use in your campaign about the Gods.
We will talk about the Old Gods because they have more power and are capable of modifying larger structures
than the New Gods, however, there is nothing preventing you from using a François at your table and saying
that the origin of monsters is coming from his power, or even that he has achieved perfect ascension and
become an Ancient God capable of being worshiped and having influence over the other Gods.
Gro-goroth
Gro-goroth - The destroyer of men. He who ushers a new
dawn with force and violence. Gro-goroth is the other part
of the most primal duality. Creation and destruction.
Where the other doesn't exist without the other. The word
'destruction is often associated with the evil of the world.
This of course is foolishness. There is no room for new
creation if the slate is not first burnt clean and empty. A
man fears destruction. Man, gest accustomed to peace and
quiet. Man grows fat and afraid of change. Change is
inevitable, just as Gro-goroth. What one needs to understand is
that the destruction is of pure kind. It does not target one man
specifically. It just exists. Gro-goroth is associated with the god of
creation, Sylvian and their child, the god of nature, Vinushka.
Gro-goroth offers the mankind the blessing of blood magick. Constant
sacrifices in his name will maintain the relationship.
Gro-goroth
Cultists: The Wolfmasks are followers of the old god Gro-goroth, who don wolf masks and fur
attire to indulge in self-mutilation and cannibalism as a tribute to their god.
Symbol:
Domain: The destroyer of man, is the god of destruction and human sacrifice.
Territorial effects: ➢ People affected for too long by the presence of Gro-goroth begin to feel strange
desires arising from the anger and exaltation of the god. They become more
enraged and stressed, resort to violence to solve their problems, and feel the need to
relieve their anger as if they were addicted to it.
➢ All cutting or piercing attacks cause bleeding.
➢ Wars that are happening are intensified to the point where people are willing to
sacrifice their own lives for the opportunity to kill someone.
➢ Human flesh becomes more viable and it is possible to observe animals
cannibalizing each other.
Festivity: Prom of Eternal Suffer
Typical Generally, creatures that are connected to the destroyer of man have the following
monstrosities: abilities:
➢ They use d12 to roll their Health dice.
➢ They have the Athletics and Fighting Knowledge by default.
➢ They may have the feats: Hard to Kill, Flagellant, Ferocious Attacker, or
Bloodlust.
➢ They have a Strength and Body increase equal to their level (Minimum 1).
Sylvian
Sylvian - the goddess of love, lust and creation. She
created men and women at the dawn of time. From the
very first moments she loved her children dearly. Over
time her love blossomed into a more obsessive form
and she would take a more hands-on approach in
controlling the direction her children took in life,
always having their best interest in mind of course.
Once she realized her children would never return the
same amount of affection back to her, her love took a
more twisted form. Sylvian forced mankind more to
her liking and closer to her own image with her gift to
humans - the love magic, otherwise known as the
flower magic.
For a brief moment in history, mankind fell into a craze of fleshly delights. As a synchronized mass, sea of
naked people in a middle of coitus would pulsate and waste their days. Sylvian is often associated with Gro-
goroth, the god of destruction and their offspring Vinushka, the god of nature.
Sylvian
Cultists: The Bunnymasks are followers of the old god Sylvian, who put on rabbit masks
while naked and head to the meadows with other people to have sex as part of their
religious rituals.
Symbol:
Domain: The goddess of love and fertility, created men and women at the dawn of time.
Territorial effects: ➢ As a goddess of fertility and creation, the presence of Sylvian can increase the
growth of plants and animals, leading to frightening fauna and oppressive
ecosystems.
➢ Sylvian's association with love and lust may lead to an increase in romantic
and sexual activity in the area of her presence. This can manifest in various
ways, from an increase in marriages and births to more promiscuous behavior.
➢ Sylvian's gift may lead to a proliferation of magical plants and natural
remedies in the area of her presence. It could also lead to the emergence of druids
and mystics who possess a deep understanding of nature and the
interconnectedness of all living beings.
➢ As Sylvian is associated with animals, her presence can lead to changes in the
animal behavior of the area. This may include an increase in mating and
reproduction activity among animals or the emergence of new species that are
uniquely adapted to the local environment.
Festivity: Mating's Day (Like Valentine's Day)
Typical Generally, creatures that are connected to the goddess of love and fertility have the
monstrosities: following abilities:
➢ They use d8 to roll their Health dice.
➢ They have the Animal Handling and Medicine Knowledge by default.
➢ They may have the feats: Alchemist, Familiar, Healer, or Beast Speaker.
➢ They have a Social and Reflex increase equal to their level (Minimum 1).
God of the Depths
The God of the Depths, an old and gigantic being worshipped by outcasts left in the darkness - insects and
wretched soulless beings. Their body lies dormant in the altar of darkness and within it, there is The gauntlet, a
way to the very bottom of the dungeons.
the God of the Depths is "worshipped by those who are forsaken and forgotten". Their followers seem devoid of self-
awareness or any kind of higher intelligence, only capable of further fulfilling pre-set duties in the dungeons.
They are often insectoid, such as the cockroaches, Scarabs, spiders, and the Cockroach King. If not insectoid,
creatures that were or outcast stuck in darkness - the Cavedweller, the Body Snatcher, the Butterfly, or
the Mumbler, who are described as
mindless servants to the god.
There is evidence that the God of the
Depths had human worshippers as
well. At a certain point in history, a
mysterious sect known as the Hermit
Mages of the South held the God of
the Depths in high esteem. These
reclusive practitioners were known for
their rare ability to imbue rings with
life-draining magic, though little else
is known about their practices beyond
their name. Moreover, ancient folklore
speaks of the Maiden of the Depths, a
human woman who was supposedly
chosen to be the bride of the God of the
Depths.
Rher
Cultists: Lady of Moon and Pocketcat are his servants, both bent on killing children as a way
to get rid of humanity's potential ascension.
Symbol:
Domain: Rher, the Trickster Moon God, also known as the Moon god and Trickster God
Territorial effects: The territorial effects are virtually all presented in the second game of Fear & Hunger
Termina:
➢ Mutation through exposure to lunar light.
➢ Madness of those who wander at night.
➢ Deformation of flesh into something grotesque, amorphous, or that carries a
connotative context of one's emotions as a denotative appearance.
➢ Time becomes timeless and unregulated.
Festivity: Termina Festival
Typical Generally, creatures that are connected to the Trickster Moon have the following
monstrosities: abilities:
➢ They use d10 to roll their Health dice.
➢ They have 4 Knowledge of your choice by default.
➢ They have any 1 Feat or Spell.
➢ They have a Reflex and Mind increase equal to their level (Minimum 1).
Vinushka
The seed of Gro-goroth that had been fermenting for an
aeon, finally reached its maturity, and thus Sylvian
pushed a whole pinecone out of her loose abyss and
named her child Ninush. The cycle of destruction and
creation is seen in its purest form in nature. Thus, it
comes as no surprise that the very god of nature,
Vinushka is an offspring of the two older gods Gro-
goroth and Sylvian. Like the nature of mankind, the
nature of Vinushka too can change from fiery raging
volcanoes to serene grasslands where a gentle wind lull
one to sleep. The ancient tribes of men used to live in a
symbiosis with nature, with its cycles of destruction
and creation, but people grew greedy and hostile
towards the land they settled and ravaged natyre to
give room for their own civilizations. As people grew greedy
and hostile, so did Vinushka. A long war was waged to determine who was to become the master and who the slave.
To everyone's surprise, or at least to my surprise, this resulted in the demise of Vinushka. For all tense [intents]
and purposes, nature is dead. Vinushka died by the hands of men. From this grievous realization comes the name
of the god. 'Vinushka', meaning guilt, the great guilt of mankind. The guilt will surely eat away the known
world in time. For now, faint traces of the god still linger in Vinushka's totems, deities that desperately search for
the murdered god in vain. Maybe these totems are the manifestation of human guilt. Once they understand the
events that took place, mankind will surely feel their grief too.
For now, it's best to exploit nature while we still can.
Vinushka
Cultists: It is possible that the Owl Cultists are a sect of Vinushka followers given that they live in
nature with attire that mimics natural camouflage, as well as harnessing the spirits of
animals.
Symbol:
"Born from humble origins of a virgin mother. Human origin with the seed laid down by a false god. A god
walking amongst men. Alll-mer would gather 12 apostles from his most trusted companions. Together they
were to bring back the old-world order. Kings and sultans of the time would not stand idle when a man of
undeniable god-like posture came down to their golden city gates. Instead, they would capture Alll-mer.
The newborn god would be nailed onto a cross, arms spread wide - and be left for the crows to feast on.
But Alll-mer was to ascend. Arms still widespread from the cross he would soar. Becoming the symbol, we
know of today. Turning his cross-ridden posture into something greater. A symbol of hope and domination.
Spending three days and night at the city of the gods, Ma'havre, he would return among men. With his
mourning 11 apostles he would murder the kings and sultans of the time - as was just. Bringing back the
old-world order."
The God of Fear and Hunger
The God of Fear and Hunger - There are many popular texts that tell of a false god and
a chosen human joining together in the darkest and the wettest of dreams. The
forgotten and long dormant God of the Depths perished that night. Only
an older god never truly perishes. In its stead, the God of Fear and
Hunger planted its roots and started to grow her influence on the
surface world. The scheming false deity had hoped her daughter would be
the light of mankind. Only true darkness does not breed light. The god of
Fear and hunger was a pure child, a blank slate birthed in the darkest pits of
human creation. That is where she grew, that is all she knew. She was the pure
representation of fear and hunger, not spoiled by even a glimmer of hope.
Mankind had seen its share of stagnation and suffering up to that point. To rise
from those perilous pits, growing pains were necessary. Progress comes at a
price. Fear motivated people while hunger kept them moving forward. People
cherished hardship and drew inspiration from it. The learned from it.
What followed was advancement that mankind had not seen since the
forgotten ages. The dark fumes that rise from pipes of modern cities
are direct consequences of this era. An era that came to be known as
the Cruel Age.
Domain: The false god and a chosen human joining together in the darkest and the wettest of
dreams.
Territorial effects: ➢ The God of Fear and Hunger not only provided the advancement of humanity,
but also brought something much stronger than any other existence in the world:
willpower.
➢ Fear and hunger can trigger a social collapse, with people fighting each other for
limited resources, forming rival factions and abandoning cooperation and
solidarity. Violence and conflict can become common, making life dangerous
and uncertain.
➢ The God of Fear can corrupt people's minds, leading them to madness and
paranoia. People may start seeing enemies everywhere, acting impulsively and
violently. Corruption can spread among leaders and authorities, creating an
atmosphere of mistrust and instability.
➢ Those who die from fear or hunger are corrupted by the slimy and viscous blood of
the God, causing them to return to life or become hosts to worms capable of
breeding in their flesh.
Festivity: The Great Day of the Plagues
Typical Generally, creatures that are connected to The God of Fear and Hunger have the
monstrosities: following abilities:
➢ They use d8 to roll their Health dice.
➢ They have the Tolerance and Evasion Knowledge by default.
➢ They may have the feats or spells: Rev-up, Opportunist, Perceptive, or Rot
➢ They have a Body and Mind increase equal to their level (Minimum 1).
Sulfur God
The Sulfur God is an obscure entity. From the few tidbits we find about
him, we know he is an old deity. He seems to have been concieved during the
ascension of Alll-mer - while Alll-mer carved his idol to ascend into
godhood, his subconcious, hatred-filled parts were cast deep into the sulfur
pits. His symbol is a triangle inside another triangle, with an inverted cross
beneath them, showing him to be Alll-mer's antithesis.
Sulfur God
Cultists: The Sun Cultists are insane, consumed by rage and hatred, resentment and pleasure
in suffering. They do everything in their power to try to kill themselves in the most
cruel, horrendous, and sinful way possible. The Sun Cultists commit mass murders
and engage in various abominable actions to join their God in the sulfur pits.
Symbol:
The weapons section features the combat equipment that can be obtained, separated into Common and Tactical
weapons. It also presents the separation by Category, Damage, Effect, Range, Weight, and Type. The Effects will
be listed after the weapons table and the Range, if any, shows how far that weapon can reach. All items can be
thrown a number of squares equal to the character's Strength divided by 2, but they will only cause damage if
they have the throwable Effect. Weapons that have parentheses in their damage value means that if you wield that

Resistances: Every time you take damage from the same type that the armor has resistance to, add the Defense

Bremen Empire armor: The segmented and well-structured armors of Bremen not only have a unique lightweight
composition, but also a special resistance against all types of projectiles, whether from firearms, bows, or
crossbows.
Vinland plate armor: Vinlandic armors feature an uncommon structure and material specially crafted in the
land, allowing the wearer to obtain resistance to Magic and Otherworldly damage.
Rondon armor: Rondonian Gothic armors feature inexplicable capabilities that have been explored by the
blacksmiths. They are mainly designed to aid warriors by providing resistance to Bleeding and Burn effects.
Edo battle armor: The material made of black iron, reinforced leather bindings, and alloy reforging make this
armor perfect. It is very rigid and thick to be penetrated by slashing attacks, making it so
that every time someone tries to sever a limb, you must flip a coin and choose heads or tails.
If you win, you don't lose the limb, but still take the damage; if you fail, the limb is lost.
Accessories
Accessories are different from weapons and armor, after all accessories serve as an alternative way to use certain
Knowledges (such as toolkits) as well as to gain bonuses in Knowledges. It is worth noting that accessories also
do not have a well-structured physical form, being able to assume the description that you or your master desires,
as long as it agrees with what the accessory does. An example is Karin's Pilot jacket, Tanaka's Gentleman's hat,
or Isayah's Iron mask. All mentioned items are accessories that present bonuses and effects to their wearer.
There are 4 types of accessories: Clothing, Tools, Equipment Kits, and Magical.
➢ Clothing and Tools: Clothing is characterized as clothing or armor pieces that provide bonuses to their wearers,
and Tools are characterized as jewelry, necklaces, photos, and amulets with effects similar to Clothing. The
bonus provided by Tools and Clothing is +1 to a Knowledge test of your choice during character creation or
chosen by the GM when this item is found during the campaign. The bonuses provided by a piece of
clothing/tool do not stack with the bonuses of another piece with the same effects. Thus, two Evasion tools
count only as +1.
➢ Equipment Kits: Equipment Kits allow certain actions that are not possible in ordinary ways and require
specialized tools for the occasion. The following Knowledge types have kits:
Equipment Kits Effects Do you need to have
