The Harrowing grips the Land in Ruin
In a Blighted Realm, Heroes Rise
Hope is a Whisper and Survival Hard-earned
Of Hearth & the Harrowing is a sandbox survival-horror experience inspired by the Old School Revival and powered by the intuitive BRP D100 system. Step into a world shaped by frontier hardship, creeping dread, and the fragile strength of the communities you build.
Grow not through levels or classes, but through the skills you hone, the passions that drive you, and the terrors you overcome. Every choice leaves its mark.
Will you become the spark that rekindles a dying world, or will the corruption claim what little hope remains?

Of Hearth & the Harrowing is a lighter version of BRP, but fully compatible with the full Basic Roleplaying rules. It uses Personalities and Passions, made popular by games like Pendragon. Groups wanting more rules and crunch can easily incorporate their favorite rules from the BRP ruleset.
The ORC License.
Like Basic Roleplaying: Universal Game Engine, we plan to release the rules under the ORC license. All rules in the core rulebook will be free for anyone to use and publish their own books with. Attribution would be lovely if you do so, but is not necessary.
You will also be able to write your own worlds or lands using targeting the Of Hearth & the Harrowing system.
The land of Eragion, our house setting will not be open licensed upon release, but if there is interest lets talk!
