Holler: An Appalachian Apocalypse
Holleris a roleplaying game of adventure, rebellion, fairy tale, and gothic horror in
Appalachia
.
In
Holler
, the mysterious "
Big Boys " own the mines, mills, and logging operations. They rule over every aspect of their workers' lives--subjecting them to
extraordinary dangers on the job and
crushing oppression outside of it.
The
Big Boys have transformed the land of the
Holler --rivers bubble with strange chemicals, strip-mined mountains crumble into valleys, and the air is choked with a toxic fog known as the
Blight .
The flora and fauna of the
Holler grow more monstrous by the day.
Demons of every description lurk in the forests. Mutant
cryptids haunt villages with their strange cries and appetites. Vengeful
haints leer from abandoned shacks and lonely cliffs.
No one is coming to save the people of
Holler . They've got to take matters into their
own hard-worked hands . It'll take miners, granny women, gougers, moonshiners, bluegrass pickers, and holy rollers willing to fight and die to protect their culture, customs, and families. Folks who have the bravery to stare straight into the abyss and spit in its eye.
The goal of the resistance is to build a
coalition , to bring together diverse factions--humble workers, roustabouts, mountain men, dirt track racers, cultists, and even strange creatures of myth and legend to raze the works of the
Big Boys and drive them from the
Holler forever.
Holler draws deeply on
Appalachian history, mythic folklore, and culture to create a dark fantasy world of apocalypse and vengeance set in gothic locales such as Corn Cob Gap, Cussfoot Fens, Ghost Ridge Mountains, Great Craggy Mountains, Faefall, Hogback Hills, Piney Dirge Plateau, Sootstone Mountains, and the Stygian Mountains.
It contains new
Edges & Hindrances , new
Arcane Backgrounds , rules for the ever-present
Blight , a passel of strange critters including the
Mothman , the
Sheepsquatch , and the nefarious
Big Boys themselves , dozens of locations such as Mount Everlasting, Devil's Den, and Fairy Flats, a fully-fleshed out
Adventure Generator , AND a wild ride of a
Plot Point Campaign called
Blasted Beauty
