------------------

There are not twelve hours.  There have always been thirteen.

This Game of Hours is a cosmic horror TTRPG where you begin as children fighting against the malevolent cosmic force of time itself, and continue that fight on into adulthood and beyond.

This cosmic force is personified as a group of entities known as The Hours, entities that look like plague doctors, but are so much more than that.

Alpha 4 is a system is a Forged in the Dark hack that has been hybridized with Everest Pipkin's The Ground Itself to give players the chance to build their own haunted town to explore, flesh out, and collaborate on.

However, the 1.0 release will be radically different in mechanics.  It will be using The Gila Hack, Lovecraftesque, Cobwebs, and a bunch of others as inspirations.  

The complete package will include the sourcebook (which includes the base game for children, the game for adults, and the Future Waste game), a soundtrack and a streaming kit.
