From the Creators of 'The Legacy of Cthulhu', New Horror Chapters Arrive on March 3rd!
Cthulhu Advanced, The Lycanthrope & The Witch are revealed in a Backerkit campaign full of surprises!
On March 3rd, the creators of The Legacy of Cthulhu and The Vampire: Alone in the Darkness are back on BackerKit with the next chapters in their interconnected solo‑RPG horror line: The Lycanthrope – Blood Curse, The Witch – Pact of Shadows, and The Legacy of Cthulhu – Advanced Rules & Tables.
These games are part of The Dark Legacy Collection, a shared, rules‑lite system that lets you explore a world where classic horror archetypes collide in desperate, personal stories of survival instead of power fantasy. All titles in the collection are compatible with each other, so you can mix and match books, themes, and storylines at the table.
Rather than locking you into a single canon city, these are sandbox‑style games built on flexible hex tile maps. The books provide detailed frameworks inspired by places like New Orleans, São Paulo, and other sprawling metropolises, but you’re encouraged to twist them or build your own city from scratch to match the kind of horror you want to play. Your Dark Legacy city becomes a living setting that mutates across sessions and across books.
The Lycanthrope – Blood Curse puts you in the skin of a hunted predator trying to survive on the margins of a city at war with itself. The Witch – Pact of Shadows follows a practitioner balancing dangerous magic, fragile alliances, and the constant pull of darker forces. The new Advanced Rules & Tables volume expands The Legacy of Cthulhu with more tools, generators, and options, while remaining fully compatible with the original core book.
All games in The Dark Legacy Collection share the same core design goals:
- Solo‑first, rules‑lite play: minimal prep, fast resolution, and strong narrative support so you can sit down and play in a single evening. But hey, you can also bring your friends if you desire!
- Shared engine, different flavors: use the same mechanics across Cthulhu‑inspired cosmic horror, street‑level vampire stories, lycanthrope survival, and witchcraft‑driven intrigue. All in the post-apocalyptic world of The Legacy of Cthulhu or other different settings.
- High replayability: tables, prompts, and branching choices create thousands of possible variations every time you return to your city for virtually unlimited replayability.
If you missed the original books, The Legacy of Cthulhu and The Vampire: Alone in the Darkness, they will also be available during the campaign, so this is a perfect entry point to get The Dark Legacy Collection in one place, along with many cool extras and accessories.
The campaign will also be offering special gifts for followers of the campaign page and exclusive rewards for early‑bird backers, as a thank‑you to everyone who jumps in from day one. If you’ve been curious about solo horror that connects across multiple titles and lets you build your own evolving city of nightmares, this is your moment!
The Lycanthrope: Blood Curse, The Witch: Pact of Shadows, and The Legacy of Cthulhu: Advanced Rules & Tables launch on BackerKit on March 3rd!
