Guide
Embark on a journey where Western themes merge with eldritch horror and occult folklore. The unique system of The Wicked West: Frontier of Shadows sets the stage for a dark narrative filled with cursed towns, haunted NPCs, and mysterious cryptids.
Dark Paths & Twisted Oaths
In The Wicked West: The Frontier of Shadows, your character isn’t built—they’re forged in fear, fire, and fate. Core systems like Dark Paths, Oaths, Orders, and Reputation don’t just track stats—they reflect the marks left on your soul.
Dark Paths represent the haunted road your character walks—shaped by hardship, belief, or cursed legacy.
Oaths are sacred or profane bonds to powers, people, or ideologies, not taken lightly—and never broken without cost.
Orders are the shadowed factions and secret societies that offer power, protection, or damnation in return for loyalty.
Reputation echoes through saloons and graveyards alike, changing how strangers treat you, and how spirits take notice.
These modular mechanics intertwine to create characters scarred by story, marked by myth, and poised to leave a legacy etched in ash and hexed steel.
Orders of Influence
tep into a fractured frontier where cursed towns, haunted souls, and cryptid horrors are more than stories—they're facts of life. The Orders that operate in the shadows of The Wicked West are not mere alliances—they are ancient forces, whispered creeds, and broken compacts that shape the land and those who dare walk it.
Whether bound by blood, faith, vengeance, or ambition, these Orders blur the lines between salvation and damnation. To serve one is to stake your fate in a game played by forgotten gods and restless dead. To defy them is to walk alone into the dark—and be seen.
