Hellfinder, a Modern Horror version of Pathfinder, is live on Backerkit
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed. Some things, once seen, can never be unseen
A simple job, travel to the north woods of Wisconsin to close down a Bureau field office that went dark back in 1996. At least it's a chance to get out of the basement and actually do some field work again. But arriving in the decrepit old town, nothing here is as it seems and what seemed like a simple assignment has turned into a fight for your very soul.
Hellfinder is a modern horror TTPRG built using the core game engine of Pathfinder Second Edition. The game keeps the most familiar parts of Pathfinder, including the proficiency system, the 3 action economy, and the degrees of success, while adding a new gradual point based character progression, a system for stress, and all new rules for long lasting trauma. The end result is a game with a slower pace, where investigation and exploration take center stage and combat is a deadly affair best to be avoided.
The Hellfinder crowdfunding campaign is live right now over on Backerkit and it is already past it funding goal! The game itself includes 3 sealed packets. When play begins, you only open the first one, which includes the character generation rules and everything the game master needs to tell the first chapter of the tale. The other packets remain sealed until the game tells you to open them. A deluxe version includes a three ring binder to hold all the papers, character folders, dice, and a metal cultist pin!
The central story of Hellfinder is included inside the packets, but after that campaign is completed, the game includes plenty of advice and guidance on where to take the story next and how to explore this new and terrifying version of our world.
Hellfinder is live on Backerkit from now until 4pm (pacific) on August 19th, 2025. The campaign is available world wide in digital form and in the USA, Canada, UK, EU, Australia, and New Zealand in print form with friendly shipping costs.
