Just add dice.

It might look safe during the day, but when night falls, you never know what lies beyond the firelight.

Beyond the Firelight is a storytelling, tabletop roleplaying game of historical horror.

It can be a game of investigation or survival as you and your friends attempt to discover what lies beyond the darkness around you.
