Holler: An Appalachian Apocalypse
Holler 聽is a roleplaying game of adventure, rebellion, fairy tale, and gothic horror in聽
Appalachia
.
In聽
Holler
, the mysterious "
Big Boys " own the mines, mills, and logging operations. They rule over every aspect of their workers' lives--subjecting them to聽
extraordinary dangers 聽on the job and聽
crushing oppression 聽outside of it.
The聽
Big Boys 聽have transformed the land of the聽
Holler --rivers bubble with strange chemicals, strip-mined mountains crumble into valleys, and the air is choked with a toxic fog known as the聽
Blight .
The flora and fauna of the聽
Holler 聽grow more monstrous by the day.聽
Demons 聽of every description lurk in the forests. Mutant聽
cryptids 聽haunt villages with their strange cries and appetites. Vengeful聽
haints 聽leer from abandoned shacks and lonely cliffs.
No one is coming to save the people of聽
Holler . They've got to take matters into their聽
own hard-worked hands . It'll take miners, granny women, gougers, moonshiners, bluegrass pickers, and holy rollers willing to fight and die to protect their culture, customs, and families. Folks who have the bravery to stare straight into the abyss and spit in its eye.
The goal of the resistance is to build a聽
coalition , to bring together diverse factions--humble workers, roustabouts, mountain men, dirt track racers, cultists, and even strange creatures of myth and legend to raze the works of the聽
Big Boys 聽and drive them from the聽
Holler 聽forever.
Holler 聽 draws deeply on聽
Appalachian 聽history, mythic folklore, and culture to create a dark fantasy world of apocalypse and vengeance set in gothic locales such as Corn Cob Gap, Cussfoot Fens, Ghost Ridge Mountains, Great Craggy Mountains, Faefall, Hogback Hills, Piney Dirge Plateau, Sootstone Mountains, and the Stygian Mountains.
