Wightchester Preview (PDF)

ENTER WIGHTCHESTER FOR FREE

In 1666, a great comet passed across the sky and the dead rose from their graves.

The city of Whitchester was overwhelmed, sealed behind its walls and transformed into Wightchester: a prison for criminals, dissidents and anyone else the restored monarchy would rather dispose of.

Wightchester Preview provides a free, playable sample from Wightchester: Prison City of the Damned.

The preview presents a detailed section of Glister Bridge, ready to explore as part of an existing campaign or as an introduction to Wightchester’s city-crawl format.

The buildings are not simply names on a map. Each contains rooms, inhabitants, hazards, encounters and objects left behind when the city fell. Searching them may uncover food, weapons, medicine and other useful supplies, but noise and carelessness can attract the undead.

INSIDE YOU’LL FIND
