Rookwood Roots

Supplement to The Curse of the House of Rookwood. Requires core rules to play!

The Curse of the House of Rookwood is set in a world of shadows and monsters, in which a family struggles with very real personal conflicts while facing supernatural horrors. The Rookwoods are presented as a privileged family, and privilege comes at a cost. We inherit the mistakes of our ancestors, and for good or ill they shape the world we live in. For the Rookwoods, the evils of the past manifest in the tangible form of Curses, which reveal themselves as family members partake in the privileges of their bloodline, their Gifts.
