Enter a world where darkness reigns and heroes are forged in shadow. 
 
HollowGate is a complete dark fantasy tabletop role-playing game that plunges players into a cursed realm built upon the ruins of forgotten empires. In this atmospheric RPG, adventurers navigate the treacherous streets of HollowGate City—a crumbling metropolis where ancient magic bleeds through cracked stone and political factions scheme in shadow-draped alleys. 
 
Using the streamlined CRUCIBLE: D12 system, HollowGate delivers fast-paced tactical combat, resource management, and morally complex storytelling. Players create characters from diverse social classes—from noble aristocrats to desperate outcasts—each with unique advantages and faction connections that shape their journey through this unforgiving world.

Game Summary 
HollowGate combines the accessibility of modern RPG design with the depth of classic fantasy gaming. The D12-based system keeps mechanics simple while offering meaningful tactical choices. Characters advance through completing dangerous expeditions, returning to their base to train, resupply, and navigate the complex web of urban politics. 
 
The game emphasizes meaningful choices, resource management, and atmospheric storytelling. Every venture into the cursed wilderness or ancient ruins carries real risk, while the city offers intrigue, opportunity, and the chance to align with—or oppose—powerful factions. 
Whether delving into forgotten crypts, navigating the politics of a dying city, or confronting the supernatural horrors that lurk in shadow, HollowGate delivers memorable gaming experiences where every decision matters and heroism comes at a price.
