THE SEVENTH AGE: DREAD

The Seventh Age: Dread

A Seven-Part Roleplaying Experience of Political Horror

Before the age of reason and science, magic ruled the world. Now, it’s coming back and if most of humanity gets wiped out in the process… well, sometimes you have to break a few eggs.

What happens to governments? Have they secretly hoarded all the power for centuries prior? What about nuclear armaments or the military? When given access to demonic magic, surely nothing can go wrong.

Seventh Age: Dread is a series of one-shot horror scenarios using the Dread Game System. They are meant to be played in succession and reflect what’s happening in Washington DC at the very same moment magic floods back into our world. Each of these adventures is written by someone other than me, in the Seventh Age world. This is a section of my world I’ve carved out to allow other content creators to craft the wicked scenarios they imagine behind the hallowed halls of our institutions.

So whether you play these one-shots over a single night, six weeks, or six years… we all hope you enjoy twisting political machinations into nights of eerie horror. Not all of your players’ characters will survive (in fact, most will die after every session), but such is the nature in politics.

The meek get eaten.
