We’re nearing the end of our routine updates about the Curseborne setting, and so we wanted to share some “teasers” for some material we have planned that won’t necessarily show up in the core rulebook. We’ve hinted here and there about the Fae. While this blog post is not going to answer maybe some of … Read more

In our first look at Dead, we learned what makes a Dead, and heard from Sam about their Damnation and what it’s like to be a ghost who haunts their own dead body. The Dead are organized into Families around the emotion they want to invoke in others. The urge simply drives them to create … Read more

Our last Lineage to share is the Dead. This Lineage is an interesting one, because it is a concept that many people have expressed interest in, but one that I don’t think I’ve ever seen done quite this way in media. I’ve certainly seen ghost stories where the focus of the story is on the … Read more

We’ve talked about what Curseborne is, who the characters are, what kinds of places the world has in it, and what kind of creatures inhabit it. The last pressing question that must be on your minds is “What do the characters do in the game?” We’ve used the words creepypasta, street level, and urban horror … Read more

This is the last of the Sorcerer previews, so I wanted to share with you one of the Families I spent a long time thinking about and trying to wrap my head around it. Some backstory on this family is that the original pitch for them was as a biker gang who bloodied other people … Read more

We return to those oddities in the world of Curseborne: liminalities. Many of your Curseborne stories will be set in and around liminal spaces, because they’re where weird things concentrate. Perhaps there’s been a spate of disappearances and they all centre on one sewer entrance. Maybe there’s been an uptick in violence, and everyone charged … Read more

In our first look at Sorcerers, we learned what makes a Sorcerer, and what kind of power they have. We took a look at the irreverent Unburdened through the lens of our narrator, Kai. Kai told you all about sacrifice, and how magic is part of a larger web of curses that take and take … Read more

Sorcerers are the result of someone answering the question, “What would you give up to have all the power in the world?” with “anything” and finding out that this was the wrong answer. Every Sorcerer is cursed to not just be able to cast magic, but to need to cast magic in a way that … Read more

We’ve been hearing a lot of questions about what curses are, what curse dice are, and how the two interact. The last time we talked about the world of Curseborne, we talked about how the curse is everywhere and affects everyone. Characters who are damned have a moderate amount of control over the curse, and … Read more

We’ve been asking this question for several months, and now it’s time to answer it. Curseborne is a game about modern frights, supernatural entities, found family, struggling to just make a life, pushing back against outdated traditions, and accepting that you’ll always be a monster even if you don’t act like one. The World and … Read more
