TEETH is a comic-horror historical RPG for 3-6 people, set in the remote, wind-blasted moors and sopping bogs of northern England in the year of 1780 – a place blighted by an alchemical catastrophe that has breached reality itself. Players enter as Hunters – specially trained killers, trackers, and academicians who drive back the monstrous things that lurk here. More important, Hunters ensure the trade in occult artefacts remains unimpeded, and the English Crown's coffers full.
However, the Hunters have another secret task to perform here – one of redemption, vengeance, sedition, or occult power – and they must complete it before Winter turns to Spring, or be trapped forever. To this end the Hunters face hardships of the wilderness, slay nightmare beasts, incur monstrous corruptions, unravel devilish intrigues, attend fancy balls, eat cursed pies, and maybe, just maybe, keep their wig on.
Based on the Forged in the Dark ruleset, the 320-page TEETH core rulebook presents a rich and grotesque setting designed to support many campaigns.
Night of the Hogmen (23pp) is an introductory one-shot TEETH scenario that tells a troubling story of peril and unpleasantness. The players portray hapless travellers, forced to flee from a ravening horde of hogmen during one grim and grisly night. (Also presented in a French translation, La Nuit des Porcs, because why not.)
False Kingdom (70pp) is a standalone campaign for TEETH in which a group of conniving courtiers attempt to survive a bloody succession crisis in a cursed corner of 12th-Century England. These horrible sycophants have made the mistake of supporting the False King, a deranged pretender to the throne who is certain to die when the True King arrives with his army. Yet, until that moment, he remains the courtiers' only lifeline and single hope of advancement in a desperate feudal world. The player characters embark on absurd and disgusting Arthurian quests; stab each other in the back, not always metaphorically; compete to be the one who narrates the tale of their proud deeds back at court; and become the Favorite courtier and amass extravagant titles and weird rewards – all before they likely meet a horrible end.
