Asher's Ridge, create your own paranormal TV series
Asher's Ridge is a collaborative roleplaying game where players both direct and star in an original paranormal television drama. Each game becomes an episode filled with mysteries, unexplained events, strange encounters, and dramatic revelations inspired by some of the most beloved supernatural shows ever created.
Welcome to the town of Asher's Ridge
The game is set in the fictional market town of Asher's Ridge, located on the shores of Brightwater Lake in the heart of England's Lake District. Although it appears to be a peaceful tourist destination, locals know that the surrounding woods, caves, and hills hide dark secrets and unexplained phenomena.
A GM-less game with zero preparation
Designed for 1 to 4 players, the game requires no Game Master and little to no preparation. Players collaboratively build stories through atmospheric scenes and interconnected plot threads created using letter tiles. As the episode unfolds, a paranormal threat slowly emerges and becomes increasingly personal to the characters.
Designed like an episodic television drama
Each session begins with a logline that establishes the tone and premise of the episode. Players then explore locations, develop relationships, follow clues, and embrace escalating risks as the mystery unfolds toward a dramatic conclusion.
Inspired by iconic supernatural series
Drawing inspiration from Twin Peaks, The X-Files, Stranger Things, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and The Fall of the House of Usher, the game captures the atmosphere and narrative twists of paranormal television storytelling.
