The Lesser Ash - A Witcher TRPG

A simple contract. Easy coin. That’s what they all say. In the war-scarred village of Black Hollow, something in the fog-choked forest has been taking children — or so the desperate villagers claim. With winter closing in and bellies already empty, the alderman is paying good crowns for anyone willing to hunt the creature haunting the Widowwood. But in the Continent, monsters are rarely the only things that leave tracks in the mud. As you investigate the village’s whispers, follow trails through the dead forest, and steel yourselves for what waits among the trees, you’ll face the question every Witcher eventually learns to hate: What if the monster isn’t the real problem? What to Expect Gritty dark-fantasy investigation Meaningful roleplay and moral choices One tense boss hunt in the haunted woods Classic Witcher themes: survival, suspicion, and the cost of coin No perfect endings — only consequences Tone Serious, grounded, and morally gray. This is a story about desperation, not heroics. Seats: 5 players Duration: ~4 hours System: The Witcher TRPG (R. Talsorian Games) Experience Level: Beginner-friendly but roleplay-forward Bring your silver, your suspicion… and decide for yourself what the lesser evil really is.A simple contract. Easy coin.
