The purveyors of fine imaginings who brought you Clockwork & Chivalry and Abney Park’s Airship Pirates are back with a brand new OneDice Setting.
Welcome to Goreton
OneDice: Bit Odd, Innit? is set in a peculiar English Village where strange things happen. You get to play as teen adventurers who have to navigate the everyday horrors of school, home, and eccentric village life – while keeping the creeping darkness at bay.From age-old folk horrors to experiments gone wrong at the local research facility; from the eldritch powers of the standing stones to the mysteries of the weekly meat raffle; from the ghostly and other-worldly entities that dwell within the village to the Lovecraftian creatures and gods wanting to break through from their own dimensions to invade ours; from enforced community participation weeks to school geography trips to the local Tor; Goreton is a place of thrilling adventures, fun and heartbreak, where true horror awaits!
The book is standalone and does not require any other of the OneDice books to run, and will include all the rules along with plenty of details about Goreton village and its inhabitants.
Welcome to Goreton – Bit Odd, Innit?
Cakebread & Walton have been on hiatus since Ken Walton’s retirement due to ill health several years ago. But now, founding member Peter Cakebread has teamed up with co-writer Chris Newton, designer Ian Stead, and graphic artist Gary Buckland to create a new OneDice world. To celebrate this new incarnation of the company, they want to create something a little more elaborate than previous OneDice titles, and are using Kickstarter to fund the publication of US letter size hardback and softcover print editions of OneDice: Bit Odd, Innit?
The target is £2,500. If the campaign exceeds its’ target, there is potential to make the book even longer, with the extra material not just being filler, but providing greater detail and upgraded options.
The more money the Kickstarter raises, the higher quality the end result will be, with potential for more writing, artwork, and other graphical goodies, and possibly more maps to show Goreton throughout the ages, and some more floorplans for locations beyond the main village!
You can support the campaign from as little as £1, with the highest tier, ‘Indescribable Oddness’, including everything from the hardcover books, printed character sheets and maps, to exclusive art prints, and a PDF bundle of every previous OneDice title for £100!
