Horror RPGs

The Darkest Woods is a mega-adventure that takes you into a unique realm of horror. It’s made for the game you’re playing right now, to be integrated into your campaign regardless of the setting or game system. And it's uniquely optimized for a rich, powerful experience that's immersive for the players and easy on the GM.

The Darkest Woods will chill and frighten your players not just through terrifying creatures and challenging situations (though there are plenty of those!) but also by tapping into a deep, primal fear of the wilderness. Along the way, their characters will have experiences that make them deeper, richer, and more powerfully bonded as a party. 

Whether you game face-to-face or online, The Darkest Woods makes the GM's job easy with its unique GM-friendly product design, while providing an amazingly immersive experience for the players through an astounding amount of art, maps, and handouts to share with them—all just a click away.

The Darkest Woods is a standalone companion to The Darkest House, the highly praised horror campaign supplement released by Monte Cook Games in 2021. If you’ve never experienced The Darkest House, there are several pledge levels that include it along with The Darkest Woods—a fantastic deal on two incredible horror experiences. (You do not need The Darkest House to use The Darkest Woods.)
