Old Gods of Appalachia thrives on characters with history, heart, and hard-won scars. Dig Your Own Grave dives deep into character creation and advancement, giving you the tools to forge unforgettable heroes — and tragedies — shaped by the Appalachian dark. In a world where love, loyalty, and family are constantly tested, who you were matters just as much as who you choose to become.
💬 What do you enjoy most about character creation — backstory, mechanics, or building connections with the rest of the party?
Dig Your Own Grave introduces a unique choose-your-own-background system that helps you build rich origins and motivations tied directly to Appalachia’s eerie landscape. With new rules for bonds, connections, descriptors, foci, arcs, and intrusions, this book makes it easier than ever to create characters who feel alive, complicated, and deeply rooted in the setting.
