The Crimes of the Father

The Second World War is over. While many turn to thoughts of peace and rebuilding, there are those who already see the coming of a new war - a cold war - fought in minds and hearts as much as on the battlefield. Two generations of war have robbed the world of whatever innocence it still clutched.
But in some dark corners of the world, innocence was lost centuries ago. From ancient crypts to lonely rings of stone standing in desolate places, there are relics of ancient times that have spread disease, filth, and tainted blood that seduce men to become monsters.

The People of the Sacred Eye - an esoteric order - have been protecting humanity from themselves for generations. Their current leader, Reginald Blackthorn, has directed his substantial fortune into preparing for the threats that the new world will face.

The Crimes of the Father is a horror game set in 1946 America. The players will take on the roles of people who have been exposed to the supernatural in some way, and are now being recruited by a shadowy organization to help fight the things that go bump in the night.

The game will be a blend of inspirations from gothic horror, Lovecraftian mythos, and a variety of other places, exploring themes of humanity and the loss thereof.
