Cryptidbound
(ISđźŽ) + AC The monsters are real. The government knows. And some of them are willing to make you an offer. Hidden beneath the modern world is a society of cryptids, ancient creatures dismissed as myths and urban legends. They walk unseen among humanity, guarding their territories, pursuing their own agendas, and occasionally offering humans a chance at something extraordinary. Power. Through a supernatural contract, you can gain impossible abilities: glimpse the future through Mothman, command storms through a Thunderbird, stalk the wilderness with Bigfoot, or bargain with entities that should never know your name. But nothing comes free. Every contract has a price. Some demand loyalty. Others demand sacrifice, secrecy, or favors you may regret agreeing to. Your cryptid partner isn’t a tool or a pet. It’s an intelligent being with its own desires, and your relationship determines how far your powers can grow. Meanwhile, secret government agencies recruit warlocks to contain supernatural threats. Rogue contractors sell their abilities to the highest bidder. Ancient cryptids defend their dwindling territories. And factions across the hidden world struggle to decide who deserves power—and who should never have it. You can serve the authorities, reject their control, build your own organization, hunt supernatural criminals, negotiate with cryptids, or carve out a place in a world that doesn’t know you exist. Forge contracts. Master your abilities. Navigate rival factions. Discover what your partners really want. Every power has a price. Every bargain has consequences. And every monster has an agenda. What are you willing to give up?
