It is a Dark Age in Wyrd: The Descent, and you are Wyrd now.
Magik has cursed you with demonic possession.
The only escape from possession is death.
But your demon will not let you go quietly. You must seek your release from the Horrors that infest this world, the same Horrors you once fought to destroy.
Venture into the Hollows, the ancient and forgotten places of the world, lure out dark Horrors, and take as many of them with you as you can before they drag you to your grave. For you are Wyrd now.
Wyrd: The Descent is a Grimdark, solo, pen and paper dungeon crawl. All you need is the rules, a standard set of RPG dice, a pen and some paper.
Roll the dice to determine what Hollows you find, how many Horrors await you there, how you destroy them and if there is anything you can Scavenge from their cursed remains. The game will only end when you have succumbed to your fate and destroyed as many Horrors as you possibly can.
