About

The Secret of Weepstone is a hand-drawn, black and white dungeon-crawling RPG inspired by old-school role-playing of the past. Roll the dice as you fight for your life against menacing monsters, loot and plunder treasure-filled halls and chests, and uncover long-forgotten secrets in a nostalgic throwback inspired by classic Dungeons & Dragons campaigns of the 70s and 80s. The Secret of Weepstone blends Talesworth’s signature innovative approach to design with an ominous dark-fantasy atmosphere and a storyline you’d expect from a DreadXP title, all wrapped up in a memorable visual style that brings the grim affair to life.

In the shadow of a crumbling abandoned keep lies the forsaken village of Weepstone. Once a thriving settlement, it now withers in silence, fields barren, crops dead, people in fear. Byron, Lord of Weepstone, is ill and bedridden, haunted by night terrors of unholy rituals and unknowable forces. With no champions to call upon, it falls to the commonfolk of the town to face the unknown, confront whatever powers are to blame, and discover the secrets that are held within the crumbling walls. This is not a tale of heroes, this is a tale of those who do what they must to survive.

The Secret of Weepstone is a dungeon-crawling RPG rendered entirely in striking hand-drawn black and white, an atmospheric love letter to the tabletop adventures and art of the 70s and 80s. Level up your party, uncover powerful new equipment to aid you in battle, survive deadly encounters, and snatch up all the loot you can. Will the dice fall in your favor?

Guide your party of misfits and unlikely delvers into almost certain death. Scrounge, loot, pilfer and abscond with anything not nailed down in an effort to equip your group for deadly encounters.
