SHIVER Gothic Game Book: Disciples of Dregstone - Board Game Description

A gorgeously dark Gothic expansion for the Award Winning SHIVER RPG. Whilst the citizens of the Gothic city of Spireholm go about their daily business on the surface, just beneath the streets lies not only sewers and cellars but the entire hidden city of Dregstone. Dregstone is where all that is unwanted in Spireholm ends up. From the piles of everything from rubbish to rats, a civilisation of the outcast has emerged. Dregstone offers the perfect additional adventure to any Dark Fantasy or Gothic city based stories for you to drop in and out of as players adopt the role of explorative street urchins, disgruntled shopkeepers, or concerned citizens in the city's underbelly. Find your way from the surface world into the grim darkness of the Dregs. Explore the world of the Scorians. Rats forever changed by alchemical mutations. Befriend the resistance and fight against a tyrannical dictator in a bid to escape the darkness and return home. Disciples of Dregstone contains a number of stygian chapters that link together to form a subterranean adventure. The events of Disciples of Dregstone and the world in which it is set can be played on their own or can be slotted into the wider world of SHIVER Gothic.
