     The most important ingredient of any ritual to make contact with the Other Side is a powerful outpouring of emotion. To get the attention, let alone help, of a spirit, god, demon, etc, one has to be ready to pay them in an amount of emotion rarely seen in a single lifetime. This enormous price meant very few throughout history were ever heard, and all matters concerning the Other Side were dismissed as superstition.

     Then, the advent of the internet connected billions of strangers, and this price was trivialized.

A TTPRG STAINED BY OUR TIME ONLINE

     HELLSITE is a sci-fi/occult tabletop roleplaying game focused on the emotions generated by social media posts. It forgoes dice or cards in favor of the semi-randomness of a Twitter/X or Tumblr feed. HELLSITE aims to explore how we curate our online experiences: the strange influences we invite into our lives and the influences we try to push onto others.

      Players take on the roles of Summoners- regular people whose smartphones have been connected to the Other Side, allowing them to call upon the power of arcane Avatars. By crowd-sourcing emotion, Summoners use the abilities of these supernatural entities to manipulate the world around them.

A SINISTER INTRODUCTION
