Description
Out a ways from the big city lies the town of Coldwater, named after the body of water it borders. Coldwater is a complacent place and its residents prefer it that way, thank you very much. Most townsfolk will greet you with a smile, but asking about the Incident from about a year back will get you met with cold stares and abruptly shut doors. But here’s the thing, folks have started disappearing again, and this time it was out-of-towners.
The Bloom is a sandbox adventure for Liminal Horror. Something sinister is creeping beneath the town of Coldwater. Campers have gone missing, but the townsfolk won’t say a word and the authorities are less than helpful. Can your team of Investigators find out the truth and save the town before it’s too late?
Malevolent fungus meets a quiet, lakeside town in this fully loaded Liminal Horror module. You know the vibe. You love the vibe. The sylvan surrealism of Twin Peaks, insular communities confronting the paranormal like Winden (Dark) and Hawkins (Stranger Things), every X-Files adventure Mulder and Scully took into the back woods of the Pacific Northwest. Battle the machinations of tight-lipped, quietly hostile residents on top of the deadly creatures who stalk the woods. Mystery and danger abound!
Deliciously visceral illustrations from Zach Hazard Vaupen set the mood, while The Bloom provides everything but core rules. In these pages, you’ll find: 20 character backgrounds, 10 fully-statted NPCs, 9 locations to visit in and around Coldwater, and a variety of horrifying Hosts, creatures once-living, now poisoned by The Bloom’s spores. You’ll also find 6 appendices full of tables and suggestions for world-building essentials like artifacts, additional residents, d12 custom Fallouts, town gossip, and final consequences.
The Bloom includes guides for one-shots, campaign integration, and starting fresh as well as conversion tweaks for Monster of the Week, Triangle Agency, Cthulhu Dark, and Agents of the O.D.D.
