Dungeon Crawl Classics: The Orphans of the Sleeping God Saga written by Full Moon Juniper– A saga of eldritch horror exclusively crafted for NecronomiCon 2026. Written by Grisoe Lupus owner of Full Moon Juniper

There are corners of the north that the maps give up and the kirk will not name, and in the oldest of them squats Wickmaw: a town of grey stone and salt-rotted timber, huddled between a sea that swallows its men and a moor older than any reckoning men keep. Its wall was raised by no hand the chronicles remember, against no enemy they dared set down. You are orphans of the Spittal of Auchindread, got of the drowned and the vanished, and you have known only cold stone, thin gruel, and the grove beyond the wall whose fruit, this blighted autumn, has come up black and glistening as something left too long in deep water. Those who ate of it no longer blink and no longer dream as men dream.

For there is a thing out upon the moor that does not sleep so much as wait, immemorial and patient and vast; of late it has begun to stir, and stranger still, something stirs in answer beneath your own skin. What wakes in you is no gift but an inheritance, a black flowering no orphan asked for and none may refuse: held between trusting hands it may be turned aside a while, but loosed in terror it feeds, and it feeds on whoever stands nearest. The truth of it is kept from you by those who smile and offer bread, and you will worry at that truth as a tongue worries a loose tooth, until the hour you grasp the whole of it and do not outlive the grasping.

Standalone three-hour descents into the abyss. Take a single seat or follow the road down to its lightless end. The moor is in no hurry; it has outlasted every road that ever ran to it.

Dungeon Crawl Classics. Pre-generated orphans provided; no prior act or preparation required. Eldritch horror, grief, and the near-certain ruin of all you play.

The Eleventh Hour is an original Lovecraftian investigative RPG where mystery, exploration, and impossible choices take center stage. Rules are taught in just five minutes, making it ideal for both newcomers and experienced role-players.

ENCLAVE – In the infinite world of Manifold, where anything is possible, there is only one constant: the shadowy mercenary organization known as The Enclave. You are an agent in its employ, tasked with accomplishing missions across infinity alongside a squad of your fellows.

ENCLAVE is a dice less roleplaying game of high-stakes storytelling. The game is played in one-shots using continuous characters, with every session telling the story of a full mission. Each mission is set in a different part of Manifold — there is no set worldbuilding, fixed timeframe, or forced theme in Enclave, meaning that missions settings, plots, and tones will wildly vary.

Missions are created on the spot, designed to fit the capacities of the participating characters. Players will each be asked to provide a Focus Word (any word or short phrase), which their Conduit(game host) *will use as inspiration when designing the mission.

Lovecraft Letter – It is the 1920s, and the world is in a state of confusion following WWI. During this time, you and your friends find yourselves amongst mysterious events. You are surrounded by strange figures, letters with unreadable texts, as well as sudden appearances of being unknown. By relying on your connections, you set out to investigate these incidents. Unknown to you are the frightful truths that lie in wait ahead of you…

Lovecraft Letter is a card game that combines the Love Letter system with the world of H.P. Lovecraft. In addition to the standard sixteen cards in the Love Letter game are new versions of the cards that include special “insanity” powers. If you have one of these cards in your discard pile, then you are insane (at least for the current round) and on future turns can play insanity cards for their regular power or their special power, giving you more options during play. The risk, however, is that you must undergo a sanity check at the start of each of your turns, drawing as many cards from the deck as the number of insanity cards in front of you; draw one or more insanity cards, and you’re out for the round.

If you win the game, whether by being the last person standing or the player with the highest single card after the deck runs out, you win a token colored to reflect whether you were sane or insane. Win enough tokens of the right type, and you win the game. Cthulhu can also help you win the game if you release it at the right time…

Will you put an end to the evil schemes as an investigator, or will you help guide the world to destruction as one of insanity’s disciples? It all depends on you.
