Book of Rooms (PBtA)
The Book of Rooms is the first supplement for Bluebeard's Bride ¸ a tabletop role playing game where you and your friends explore Bluebeard's home as the Bride¸ creating your own beautifully tragic version of the classic dark fairy tale.
Behind each door of the Book of Rooms is a chamber full of everything a Groundskeeper could ever need to awe Bluebeard's new bride¸ ready to use at the table. Lock yourself in and marvel at these fully illustrated rooms¸ each with fleshed-out threats to the Bride¸ mysterious objects that cajole closer inspection¸ and horrors that lurk in the shadows¸ including:
-
The Tea Room: You are cramped on all sides by cabinets full of the most delicate hand-painted china. A very feminine¸ blue floral damask wallpaper covers all the walls and the floor. The air is close¸ suffocating¸ and you have trouble breathing. A iridescent blue sofa invites anyone who lays eyes on it to try its comfortable shape.
-
The Kitchen: The kitchen itself is a broad stone room with an uneven floor. An ancient metal oven is next to the fireplace¸ which is just barely smoking¸ a cold stewpot suspended from a hook nearby. A rotund man in a poorly fitting white apron and chef hat dozes on a chair next to a central table. A cleaver tied to his belt scrapes over the floor¸ back and forth with every labored breath he takes.
-
The Bathhouse: The air in the bathhouse is filled with the heady scent of perfumed oils¸ torrid and oppressive. Steam floods over the floor¸ where there is a steel drain forged to appear like lush foliage with flowers and leaves. Soft whines escape the drain¸ the pipes below exhaling from the heat. Your fingers just fit through the patterned drain. Straining through the slats you feel them rub against a soft¸ wet mass.
Bluebeard's Bride is based on the Powered by the Apocalypse system used in Apocalypse World¸ Monsterhearts¸ Urban Shadows¸ and more. Bluebeard's Bride produces adult feminine horror fiction like Crimson Peak¸ American Horror Story¸ or The Company of Wolves¸ making it fun for horror fans and dark fairy tale fans alike.
