Book of Leviathan

Book of Leviathan

You’ve lived a sinner’s life. Now you’ve died a sinner’s death… Cruel, cruel fate has cast you down to the wretched ocean at the bottom of all things, the stygian sea, where you make a deal with someone who calls themselves your captain. Hunt and kill the hellwhale, partake of its flesh and blood, and you’ll find your redemption.

Hellwhalers and Book of Leviathan.

HELLWHALERSĀ is an original GM-led token swapping & d6 based TTRPG of nautical and religious horror. Players take the role of damned whalers hunting a monstrous whale across the oceans of hell for the promise of salvation; gambling, fishing, and facing the trials of hell along the way.

Book of LeviathanĀ is a 40 page expansion zine for the original game thatĀ takes us further into hell’s waters, with all new material expanded from the original game’s premise. New evocative art. New horrors of hell. New grisly crew options. New mythical endings.

If you’re new toĀ HELLWHALERS, we’ve got the original sold out game coming back to print, availableĀ here. Or check out a PDF copyĀ here.
Anatomy of the Beast

HELLWHALERSĀ takes its DNA from old school systems likeĀ CarinĀ &Ā ErrantĀ and Narrative modern story engines likeĀ Belonging Outside BelongingĀ &Ā Blades in the Dark. Old school resource tracking, procedural tables, and peril; modern roleplaying incentives, streamlining, and sensibilities. It is suitable for 2-5 players and a GM, and uses both tokens and six-sided dice to play.

HELLWHALERS: Book of LeviathanĀ plummets us back into the pitch black waters of the Stygian Sea, where we'll once again seek redemption for our crew. One more roll of the dice. One more whale on the horizon. One more shot at saving our immortal souls.

Book of LeviathanĀ brings us:
  • Two horrific epilogues
  • Two sin-laden playbooks
  • Two fractured lore stories
  • Two desperate castaways seeking passageĀ 
  • Four haunting locales across the Stygian SeaĀ 
  • Six ghastly sea creatures to dredge from the deepĀ 
  • An entirely new gambling results table for the devil's boardĀ 
  • A myriad of public domain illustrations and bespoke lino-cut and digital stamps

Play as one of the original six playbooks ofĀ HELLWHALERSĀ from the core book, or take the reigns of one of the two new advanced playbooks -Ā The Abomination, cursed with a form that betrays their sins of desire and deviancy, orĀ The Returned, a ā€˜came back wrong’ playbook for those who have fallen to hell’s trials.

Book of Leviathan also comes with an assortment ofĀ digital extras, including:
  • A PDF of alternate tactical wargame skirmish rules for the final whale encounter.Ā 
  • Papercraft whale and boat instructions for use with tactical rules.
  • A PDF of a diegetic essay from a cursed whaler.
  • And a completed sea shanty MP3.

The Abomination playbook, depicting an arthropod or crustacean with human arms and legs. There is flavor text, an inventory, and a set of moves.
This is a collective return fromĀ Brewist Tabletop Games, original co-writerĀ Bogus Cheesecake, andĀ PlusOneExpĀ who first broughtĀ HELLWHALERSĀ to print. This expansion is a radical voyage back into hell and a monstrous splash you won't wanna miss.
