Description
The Ordo Scriptorium
Delve into the dark and immersive world of The Ordo Scriptorium, a Gothic horror TTRPG where players gain supernatural powers through the transfusion of blood from legendary monster hunters, known as “Authors.” These Authors include famous Gothic horror writers such as Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, H.G. Wells, H.P. Lovecraft, and Ann Radcliffe. Created by indie game developers Ash Alder and Zachariah Van Sluyters, this game blends rich narrative elements with thrilling gameplay.
What’s it About?
In The Ordo Scriptorium, players take on the roles of Authors, newly awakened to the terrifying realities that lurk beyond the mundane world. Guided by the wisdom of Editors, they hunt deadly Stalkers—malevolent beings that prey on humanity. Each Author’s blood grants unique Torches, or powers, reflecting their literary legacy and combat prowess.
Each Author receives a transfusion from a literary master of great renown. This transfusion grants powers in line with that literary master’s own unique abilities. For instance, an Author infused with the blood of Edgar Allan Poe might gain heightened senses and an affinity for unraveling mysteries, while one drawing from Mary Shelley might possess the power to animate the inanimate or harness the forces of nature.
With a setting that spans the mid-1900s and options for modern-day adventures, The Ordo Scriptorium offers a versatile and haunting experience. Whether you’re battling eldritch horrors, uncovering the mysteries of the supernatural, or documenting your harrowing encounters, this game promises endless Gothic horror thrills.
