HELLWHALERS is an original TTRPG of both nautical and Christian-religious horror. Play as damned whalers, sailing hell’s oceans to hunt a monstrous leviathan whale in a bid for redemption of your immortal souls.

Whalers will earn souls through roleplay, challenges, and gambling, eventually collecting enough to pulse the Hellwhale’s disembodied heart, a blackened, grisly organ kept locked away by the captain. To pulse the heart is to summon the monster you seek: the dreadedHellwhale. Slaying this titanof Hell’s watersis said to earn you a place back in God’sgraces.

Suitable for 2-5 players and one Guide, who plays the captain, a foul tempered figure driving the whalers ever onward in a maddened quest for the whale’s flesh and blood.

Gambling plays a central role in the gameplay loop, creating a procedurally generated series of events each day. Gambling takes place on a Sic-Bo board, a game played with three six-sided dice.

Collect lore, gamble with souls, fish hellish creatures from the depths, and fight a demon whale.
