Daemon Eater: A Post Apocalyptic Horror TTRPG

Welcome to Waukee and the end of the world. Thirty seven years ago a foul and evil Corruption was unleashed upon the earth. It spread quickly, twisting and warping plants and animals into things of nightmares and dread. Daemons, as people began calling them, whispered to men and women, promising great power in exchange for surrendering to the Corruption.

You are Daemon Eaters, people that have learned how to manipulate the Corruption and resist its call better than others. You fight to make the world a better place, a place you will never get to live in. Sooner or later the Corruption will become too much and your time will come to an end.

Choose from eight different Archetypes, each with unique powers and abilities.

The Beast: Primordial and savage, you are the perfect killing machine. This world has warped you in ways that have made you far better than you were but at the cost of your humanity. Tooth and claw you tear your way through the corruption, but how long before those final bits of what once made you a person are stripped away and only the animal remains. The twisted creatures of the land hear your call, some flee before it, some answer to do your bidding. Until that last day comes, you are the top of the food chain.

The Blight Warden: The Corruption is a disease and you are the cure. You can purge this evil from others but there is a toll that is slowly destroying your body, taking your soul along with it. The Green may be a safe haven for what is left of the human race, but you can push those boundaries further by the sheer might of your will. You will cleanse this land until your final breath.

The Bog Witch: The darkness must be stopped, and there is no better weapon to wield than the Dark itself. You channel the corruption of the world through yourself, making bargains with demonic forces, using their own greed and ambitions to your benefit. You know that one day the Dark will come to claim you. There will be no retiring to the Grove of Pained Whispers for you, no happy ending. The markers will be called in and the price you will have to pay is your very soul.

The Hauberk: You are the last line of defense against the evil hordes that ravage this world. You are light in the darkness. Your armor is like a second skin, hand crafted and fuse to your flesh, a living construct of grit and determination. You will not go gently into that night, and when you finally are released from this mortal coil, the dead at your feet will be innumerable.

The Husk Crawler: Digging through the ruins of the old world is something anyone can do. You, however, know where to look, as well as when. You know that almost everything has value to the right person, and everyone knows you're the one to come to when they need something. You know how to get in and out, and to do it quickly and quietly. You are the silent shadow that slips through the abandoned cracks of a world in decay.

The Inquisitor: Demons are tricky and conniving, preying upon the weak and possessing them with their foulness. You will root out the Corruption wherever you find it. But, there is an art to it. Baseless accusations and panicked mobs only lead to unnecessary death and suffering and so few people are left as it is. You will save these possessed souls, rid them of the taint of the darkness that clings to this world. Mercy in judgment when possible, but in the end, evil must be destroyed.

The Lore Monger: Knowledge is power. There is so much that has been lost, and so much more that is yet to be discovered. You are a chronicler, sage, historian, and librarian in a world that has forgotten what any of those truly mean. You are the brains over brawn, the pen over the sword, the answer to the question not yet asked.

The Skin Stitcher: Life is pain. You've come to not only understand that, but to embrace it. Your methods may be unorthodox, but the results speak for themselves. Times are tough, and you can make people tougher, you should know, you were your first patient. No scrubbing up, no sterile hospitals, just you and your tools and little ritual to get the job done. All life has value, value determined by you and how you can use it once that life has been taken away.

Hunt evil in wasteland of the city now known simply as Waukee on the shores of the Great Michigan. Push the Corruption back and give humanity hope.
