How to Play?

Each round is simple and deadly: roll a Scene, resolve rival harvesters, roll an Encounter, then choose to Blood Harvest or Flee. Stay longer and you may return with enough ammunition to save your faction. Push too far and Grim may plant you, consume you, or tempt you with a Weapon of Mass Destruction powerful enough to change the war forever. A shared War Clock drives the game toward its end, forcing every player to decide how much they are willing to risk before Grim closes.

In solo play, Grim Harvest becomes a tense survival journal about one harvester trying to return with enough ammunition to matter. In multiplayer, it becomes a cruel contest of territory, greed, sudden death, and faction victory. Players may fight over the same scene, loot the fallen, flee too early, or stay too long. The winner may carry the war home, but the forest always grows.

Perfect for zines, one-shots, solo journaling, convention tables, dark fantasy war stories, and minimalist RPG collections, Grim Harvest delivers an entire battlefield ecology in a handful of rules.
