Calling All Metalheads: Behold This…

The Grimdark Sourcebook You Didn’t Know You Needed

If your soul thrives in the shadows, brace yourself for a new grimdark tabletop RPG resource. Exalted Funeral is Kickstarting a daring sourcebook for us twisted roleplay enthusiasts. It’s named Glumdark: a system-agnostic fountain of grotesque inspiration. While perfect for Dungeons & Dragons, it equally suits the realms of Thirsty Sword Lesbians or any avant-garde RPG you fancy.

A Treasure Trove for Twisted Minds

Glumdark rejects tethering to any specific RPG giant. That means it can bewitchedly enhance Exalted Funeral’s Dolmenwood, crafted by Necrotic Gnome, or sync with the dismal universe of Mork Borg. Spanning 140 pages, it promises over 2,500 items and ideas. Think of it as a grim anthology of roll tables, surreal fiction, and chilling quests.

Creators emphasize there’s zero AI involvement. Every grim detail and outrageous plot twist springs from their vivid, peculiar minds. On the Glumdark website, refresh for endless handwritten horrors. From peculiar potions to morbid mishaps, every roll births another dark fate for your characters.

The Minds Behind the Madness

Meet Matt McGlintlock and Christopher Drellow, the architects of this macabre masterpiece. When your players encounter bizarre foes or ironic demises, you’ll know whom to thank. In a rare slip of trivia, Drellow confessed they almost called it "Blocko’s Wild Imaginarium". Hard to imagine, right? In any case, Glumdark captured the essence just right.
