Hollow King: a folklore RPG
A rules-light tabletop game about inherited debts, haunted counties, and last winters.

Hollow King is a 160-page hardcover roleplaying game set in a country that forgot its own name.
You play people who owe something they cannot name — a season, a sibling, a song. Play is conversational. There are no miniatures. There is a map that changes when you lie.
The book is illustrated by six artists. Layout is done. This campaign pays for printing, a cloth map, and a box of rumor cards. Stretch goals unlock a GM screen and a cycle of three one-shot mysteries.
I have run this game for four years at cons and kitchen tables. It is ready.
