Asher's Ridge

Asher’s Ridge is a tabletop roleplaying game for one to four players, with no preparation or GM required. Inspired by Twin Peaks, The X-Files, Stranger Things and more, Asher's Ridge captures the twists and turns of your favourite paranormal television shows.

Lights, camera, action

Direct – and star in – your own paranormal drama television show set in the remote fictional town of Asher's Ridge. Experience the unexplainable in the breathtaking heart of the Lake District. Gather your cast of characters, scout your filming locations, and make a show that will keep viewers guessing for years to come.

Gameplay

During an episode – AKA  a game – you foreshadow a paranormal threat to Asher's Ridge in short, atmospheric interludes and collaborate on scenes using a web of plot threads created from letter tiles. The threat escalates and becomes personal to your characters and tension builds as they take risks to address it. Eventually problems come to a head, for better or worse, and the episode ends in a dramatic cliffhanger.
