​

Local Traditions is a two-page Folk Horror table-top roleplaying game about exploring a beautiful pastoral town without falling victim to their violent local traditions;

​

The year is 1910 and you and your friends have decided to spend a long summer weekend away from the city. So, you hopped on a bus to the isolated town of Burnsley;

​

a picturesque pastoral town surrounded by miles of stunning moorland where everyone is polite and wishes everybody they pass a "Good Day!" because everyone knows everyone ‘round these parts.

​

As beautiful and pleasant as the town may seem, there’s something not quite right with this place that you just can’t seem to put a finger on, ah well it’s probably nothing and there’s talk of a “Happening” on Sunday night, that should be good fun, right?

​

Wrong.

​

“The Happening”  is a local tradition that may or may not involve something mundane like  a violent ritualistic sacrifice or perhaps something more supernatural, like the invocation of a demon.

​

Shame the bus doesn't come back until Monday morning.

Your only objective is to work out what’s going to happen and avoid becoming victims to the town's strange folk tradition.
