Arkham Horror RPG: Starter Set

A hunger has come to the city of Arkham that threatens to consume everything in Hungering Abyss, a starter box set in

Fantasy Flight Games world of Arkham Horror.

This all-in-one box is designed for up to 6 players (5 players + 1 Game Master) that are 14 years or older.

Whether you are a veteran role-player or brand new to collaborative storytelling table-top games, this learn-as-you-play is an excellent way to get a feel for both roleplaying games and the simple d6-based system.

The box includes a campaign, beautiful character portfolios, dice, high-quality tokens, beautiful maps, and other carefully curated components to enhance the game experience.

The Dynamic Pool System (DPS) is a deceptively simple mechanical framework that uses 6-sided dice to represent characters’ ability to perform actions, their physical health, and their mental state. Dice can be spent to perform simple or complex actions, and special abilities called Knacks can be used to modify or supplement the use of dice. Because the system is entirely built around d6s, the mechanics are easy to learn, but the dynamic and open-design allows for interesting strategic and narrative moments.

WHAT IS ARKHAM HORROR?

Arkham Horror is a Lovecraftian-inspired setting that primarily takes place in the 1920s and is centered around the city of Arkham, Massachusetts and its surrounding counties. Brave investigators use everything at their disposal to stop malicious cults and beings from invading the world and destroying humanity. From tommy guns and Molotov cocktails to occult magic and ancient knowledge, all that stands in the way of the end of everything is you and your allies.
