Holler: An Appalachian Apocalypse
Holler  is a roleplaying game of adventure, rebellion, fairy tale, and gothic horror in Appalachia .In Holler , the mysterious " Big Boys " own the mines, mills, and logging operations. They rule over every aspect of their workers' lives--subjecting them to extraordinary dangers  on the job and crushing oppression  outside of it.
The Big Boys  have transformed the land of the Holler --rivers bubble with strange chemicals, strip-mined mountains crumble into valleys, and the air is choked with a toxic fog known as the Blight .
The flora and fauna of the Holler  grow more monstrous by the day. Demons  of every description lurk in the forests. Mutant cryptids  haunt villages with their strange cries and appetites. Vengeful haints  leer from abandoned shacks and lonely cliffs.
No one is coming to save the people of Holler . They've got to take matters into their own hard-worked hands . It'll take miners, granny women, gougers, moonshiners, bluegrass pickers, and holy rollers willing to fight and die to protect their culture, customs, and families. Folks who have the bravery to stare straight into the abyss and spit in its eye.
The goal of the resistance is to build a coalition , to bring together diverse factions--humble workers, roustabouts, mountain men, dirt track racers, cultists, and even strange creatures of myth and legend to raze the works of the Big Boys  and drive them from the Holler  forever.
Holler  draws deeply on Appalachian  history, mythic folklore, and culture to create a dark fantasy world of apocalypse and vengeance set in gothic locales such as Corn Cob Gap, Cussfoot Fens, Ghost Ridge Mountains, Great Craggy Mountains, Faefall, Hogback Hills, Piney Dirge Plateau, Sootstone Mountains, and the Stygian Mountains.
It contains new Edges & Hindrances , new Arcane Backgrounds , rules for the ever-present Blight , a passel of strange critters including the Mothman , the Sheepsquatch , and the nefarious Big Boys themselves , dozens of locations such as Mount Everlasting, Devil's Den, and Fairy Flats, a fully-fleshed out Adventure Generator , AND a wild ride of a Plot Point Campaign  called Blasted Beauty
