Quietus - Moonshadow

Ben takes Greg and Ethan through Quietus, a Forged in the Dark game by Oli Jeffrey, that takes a small group through a melancholy horror which can be supernatural (like The Babadook) or unclear (The Strangers). As the game is designed for one shots, the beginning of the episode will feature the character and world generation before we begin play.

Quietus is available from publisher Sinister Beard Games, and through DriveThruRPG. Quietus was also part of the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas bundle on itch.io, so you may already have it.

The system is a horror game, and this session will deal with themes of Alzheimer's, Familial Death, Familial Trauma, Degenerative & Mental Illnesses, Body Horror, and Possession. Listener discretion is advised.

Two cousins have been called in to help take stock and clean up Uncle Gerard "Jerry" Rhodes' mansion, following Jerry passing away after a five year long battle with an escalating, especially degenerative form of Alzheimer's. Jerry's mansion is filled to the brim with stuff, as he was an antiques dealer. While the pair catalog everything, it becomes clear that something else is in the house. Something evil, and something wanting Chuck and Virgil...
