MECHANICS

  • The Fate Oracle create a unique Hunt every time you play. Sites, Altars, and Revelations are drawn fresh each run, so the forest never throws the same fight at you twice.

  • Build your dice pools to face down challenges and overcome foes. An easy-to-read core mechanic, including critical and partial successes.

  • Combat takes place on a unique tactical grid. The Enemy Oracle determines enemy actions, with solo combat playing out like a tense and strategic puzzle.

  • Easy character creation. Draw one card per suit to determine your Path, Edge, Mark, and Relic – no two Arbiters ever come out the same.

  • Twelve unique Tyrants with twelve unique Lairs in each Hollow Playbook. Randomly chosen before each Hunt, these Tyrants represent the ultimate challenge yo must overcome. Their Lairs work in tandem to wear down your Arbiter and present an ever-present danger.

  • Climb the ranks or die trying. Upgrade your skills, abilities, and gear: survive and build your reputation Hunt by Hunt.
