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!
