HELLWHALERS is out there!
Just wanted to give a reminder to folks that the TTRPG that my team and I spent a lot of time with @boguscheesecake writing, and creating exists. HELLWHALERS released November 30th, and you can still get physical editions through PlusOneExp at ttrpg.link/hellyeah and digital copies on the Brewist Tabletop Itch page. Right now we're having some hiccups with digital copies for physical orders, but I'll square those manually if anyone emails me about it at [email protected]. I realized I hadn't made an official Tumblr announcement, but please pick it up if you're into religious horror, nautical horror, Moby Dick, Paradise Lost, The Divine Comedy, Dredge, Mastodon's album Leviathan, or anything in those veins. HELLWHALERS is a token based TTRPG of nautical and Christian-religious horror. Play as damned whalers hunting a leviathan whale across hell's oceans for a chance to earn salvation. This book is visually stunning, and really fun for horror fans. Our team put a lot into this game, and we'd love it if you checked it out! There's also a great essay by @monsterfactoryfanfic about the game. Check out that essay here, and Aaron's other work as well!

See you in hell, sailor!

horror symbols: crucifixes
In horror movies, crosses are often used as protective charms or magical weapons against supernatural enemies, but in horror movies critiquing catholicism, it could mean to a character a tramua of theirs and what is being used to scare them.

Why are all the religious horror movies based on the catholic denomination? We need more protestant based horror. Give me backroads and church basements that look like the backrooms.

I dunno if it would count as a preacher cosplay cuz I wasn’t able to do its face, but ig it still kind of is? Idk 😭
But it’s inspired from the preacher and the faces in tmc :]
Also sort of a face reveal I suppose, except I have 2 tons of makeup on my face..

Keep an Eye Out As You Travel West
You see a church, you just keep on walking. Most are abandoned anyhow, nothing left in 'em but the hollowed out husks of their priests. The rest have been filled by now; old pretenders, zealots, and self proclaimed prophets snatching up any man fool enough to worship. And that's if you're lucky. There are older things, other things that have curled up amidst the altars of the Lord like worms in dirt. If you're wanting to do any worshiping, best do it out under the sky.
There're things that roam the dust, figures of men with eyes deader than any corpse and smiles as bright and pretty as a lady's. They come around sometimes, always trying to pawn off some bizarre thing; elaborate crowns made of rusted nails, gold lockets with strange portraits inside, letters that can't be read without getting a deep pounding in your head, and keys rusted with so much blood it'd be a wonder if they turned anything at all. Now, I've seen what comes for folks who trade with them and I'll tell you this. Wherever they got their goods, it sure as shit wasn't from here.
You'll be hearing now about the "Oil Baptisms," I'm sure. Black sea water dredged up from some abyss, thicker than any water I've ever seen and you can smell it long a mile away. They say it gives people "the sight" but of what I can't say. All I know is that once you start smelling that briny shit on the wind, the screaming don't start long after.
Be careful what deals you make out here. There're plenty of strange folk who would be more than glad to work you down to the bone and long after, too. Work is work, crops need harvesting, graves need digging, meat needs carving, and idols need worshiping. Watch your words and read your contracts, else you might just be stuck washing the feet of the righteous until doomsday.
Best stay indoors once night comes, that's when a lot of the "families" start movin' out. They take to the roads, long lines of them, a parade of the ugliest sons of bitches you've ever seen. In the daylight, their skin never fits quite right and stinks to high heaven but once the sun dips past the trees, they start taking it off. They move from place to place, sloughing off their decayed flesh and stealing new off any traveler they come across. Lock your doors and put out your lights before they coming knocking on your door, asking sweetly, "Do you have anything I could wear?"
I am of the opinion that the woods ought not be traversed by folk who ain't been called there. Keep to the roads and towns, there's enough foul mess there if it's strangeness you're looking for. But what's in the woods has always been in the woods and if you pass the treeline with no business being there, well. The woods will give you business.
While a useful tool, a gun won't save you from drowning in the bathtub of a family of fanatic prognosticators, or from having your skin torn clean off by the night sky. Keep your ears up for any kind of protection you can get and learn to speak well because a lot of smart talk can get you out of a whole mess of trouble.
Keep on moving, friend. If you're looking to survive this trek, don't stop for anything, not even to bury the dead or feed the starving. It ain't worth what'll catch you, cause there's always things waiting for a fella to slow down so's they can get their claws in faster, deeper. You wanna be stuck here, in the fields and the dirt, under the big sky while hymns are burned into your skull? No?
Then keep on moving.

horror sub-genres • religious horror
religious horror focuses on christianity but also can focus on other religions that aren't pagan, and is a battle against good or evil (sometimes switching it around). the protagonists are usually innocent people trying to live ordinary lives, not sensing anything wrong until they are forced to battle or deal with the devil or a religious figure
