Fight fiends, hunt Monsters, protect the world

Palisade is a hack of Cairn and Into the Odd about demonology and the occult. Players will solve monster of the week type scenarios or fight the hordes of demons seeking to destroy the mortal realm. With six unique classes to choose from:

  • The Bloodletter gains magical power from the blood of their enemies that they use to empower their allies.
  • The Butcher’s religion focuses on the rituals of maintaining  and sharpening their blades.
  • The Shade has spent too much time between dimensions and is starting to become less  corporeal, but uses this  affinity to the shadows to their advantage.
  • The Soulreaper harvests the souls of their victims to gain magical  Spirit Dice to wield  powerful spells.
  • The Witch Hunter uses magical runes to enchant objects or players and to track their foes.
  • The Zealot taps into their connection to the astral dimension to cast spells of protection and healing.

This second edition includes additional content for running your own occult campaign. Some of the GM resources include:

  1. Big-bad antagonist generator (as well as NPC generator tables)
  2. Generators for criminal cabals of devils, secretive cults of humans, and of course demons.
  3. Generator and toolbox for creating heavenly, hellish, urban, and underground hexcrawls.
  4. Mystery generator as well as guidance and suggestions for the mechanics.
  5. 60+ monsters and demons in the beastiary.
  6. A sample hexcrawl, mysteries, & dungeon.
  7. Tables for generating spell books, backstories, rumors, plagues, and so much more.

Excellent contribution. Thank you very much.

Very nice and I love the old artwork!

140mb? Is an optimized and reduced version possible?

Haha, good catch. Updated the files to be optimized

Really impressed! Looks amazing! Can't wait to whack some demons!

Hi I'm really digging the look of this whole book and I'm surprised we haven't seen anything with the same premise. I'm  currently reading my way through but the table of contents have me looking forward to try it. With how aesthetic the whole book is do you happen to have a character sheet in the works to tie it all together? Either way great job!

Not yet, but that's a great idea! I'll try and whip one up sometime soon

Great game, will get it on amazon to support you, just one small thing, on page 42 the stats for the Disedia demon are missing unfortunately, hopefully there will be more things from you in the future, keep it up

Well thank you! I just updated the file, thanks for catching that
