Horror Cinema Classics RPG

It has been a busy couple of months since our last update, but we wanted to provide an update on all things Wayward Studios, especially Horror Cinema Classics.

Writing continues, as does the nonstop playtesting. Our goal continues to bring you the best horror RPG our devious minds can imagine. Some of the most exciting features is the inclusion of some new classes; The Profiler, Slayer, Possessed, and Psychic. We are also fine-tuning the rules for Invoking the Darkness. In the coming weeks we'll be doing spotlights on each of the new classes and our Invoke the Darkness rules, now with extra vileness.

We're also happy to announce a new artists that has succumbed to the Darkness, Christopher Tupa. Here's one of his pieces that will be added to the book.

Now for some convention news. We had an amazing time at Gary Con this year. We brought with us a plethora of HCC content to terrify and entertain our players. We ran adventures from the crowdfunding as well as several adventures that will be rolling out in 2027 and beyond. We had a blast running games for both veteran HCC players and those new to us. But it's not all work at Gary Con. We took time to let our hair down and hang out with some great friends.

Finally, We have another crowdfunding over on Kickstarter. We love making content for Weird Frontiers RPG and have another round of zines, including a new class, some short adventures, as well as a full-length adventure. Check it out here. 

Thanks again for all your support!

Looks like there was an error in the link I attached in the last update. Here's the link to follow the 10th Doomstar by Julian Burnick and Dragon Peak Publishing

 

We just wanted to send out a quick update. The Dark Council has just returned from Midwinter Con where we terrorized players new and old. We had the chance to playtest some new adventures, fine-tune some more polished adventures, and flex the boundaries of the game mechanics. Next up for us is Gary Con in Lake Geneva, WI. More on that in a future update.

Work continues on the HCC core rulebook. We've had the pleasure of working with artist, Joey Docil. He's been working on some art for our character classes. Check out his work:


 






But enough about us, for now. Our friends at Dragon Peak Publishing is partnering with the talented Julian Burnick to go where no one has gone before. They are releasing a 10th level adventure for Dungeon Crawl Classics. The 10th Doomstar is launching on Backerkit in a few days. Check it out here and consider following and backing this amazing project. 

That's it for now, friends! Look for us at some of your favorite cons and join us for a scary good time!

Cheers,
The Dark Council (Mark, Randy, Eric, Andy)

Our New Year's themed adventure, Legion on the Lakefront, is almost ready for release. We are putting a few finishing touches on it and collecting some additional art and then we'll be sending it out to those who sent us pictures of you and your group playing Do You Know Where Your Children Are? We'll be making it available for purchase on DriveThru RPG sometime afterwards. 

In the meantime, the Dark Council continues to plug away at making the core rulebook a reality. We'll be doing another update soon to showcase an artist, new to Wayward Studios, who will be breathing life into our character classes. 

As always, thank you so very much for your continued support. None of this would be happening without you!

Cheers,
Mark, Eric, Andy, Randy

The pre-order store is now open. If you missed the crowdfunding, you can still order all that HCC goodness. Here's the link for the store 

We also have the character sheet/pregens issue sorted out. You should have received an email with the new sheets.  We also have character sheets available for download on our website here. Please keep us posted if you discover any other issues. 

And don't forget to send us pics of your HCC games. Eric is already working on the holiday adventure.

As always, thank you for your continued support!
