Welcome to Grimsbury

Albion Folk Horror Roleplaying Game
Set In An Alternate Mis-Remembered England


Grimsbury is a Roleplaying Game set in a mis-remembered post-war England during the 1950’s to 1980’s. Magick is real but people have slowly forgotten its power - the splitting of the atom and television have seen to that.

This game is a love letter to folk horror movies like The Wicker Man and British TV shows from the 70s and 80s like Children of the Stones, The Sandbaggers, Dr. Who and The Changes. Characters move between Here and (THERE) to explore mysteries and fight odd and otherworldly threats.

Play as a young Roma Hedge Witch travelling the countryside telling fortunes and doing sneaky makgick.

Play as a Special Forces Commando armed with Magickal weapons and explosives that can stop a demonic incursion.

Play as a Shoplifter who can infiltrate the most secure facilities and grab papers off a desk.

Play as a Summoner who calls on the Tooth Fairy to help find missing children.

A great RPG for anyone who is a fan of anything like The Changes, Children of the Stones, Dr. Who etc. It's the role playing game that best represents my childhood.
