The House System is a sort of RPG Rosetta Stone, allowing you to easily integrate characters from any game system into The Darkest Woods or The Darkest House—and even letting you bring characters from different games together. It also enables some of the unique horrors of the Darkest Woods, as every roll of the dice potentially draws the Woods' attention to the PCs actions. You can use any old d6s with the House System (though you need dice in two colors to distinguish the PCs' results from the Woods'). This set of d6s is specially designed to match the atmosphere of both The Darkest Woods and The Darkest House, and includes five dice: two base dice, a House die, a bane die, and a boon die. They're hefty, 16mm dice with a lustrous feel and a distinctly House System vibe.

The Darkest Woods contains dozens of handouts, easily downloadable as files to share with your players. But imagine the looks on their faces as you hand them the actual items their characters find in the Woods! These aren't just printouts—they're full-fledged props, printed on various paper types and weights, die cut or even hand-torn where appropriate. With all its copious player-facing art, maps, audio files, and more, The Darkest Woods is an amazingly immersive experience. This set of physical handouts takes the immersion even deeper! This item is included in the Temple of the Moon and The Dark Lodge pledge levels. But even if you're backing at one of those levels, having a second set of handouts may be handy if you run The Darkest Woods more than once.

The Darkest Woods are haunted by any number of horrors malevolent and dangerous—and the Woods itself is uncaring at best. Those lost within, however, are not on entirely without hope of succor. The mysterious woodfolk can be helpful, even friendly. PCs might find or gain tokens of the woodfolk's aid if they help or befriend the right beings—tokens they can expend to their benefit, if used wisely. (Beware, though: some inhabitants of the Woods see them as a mark of an enemy, and may attack the bearer of a woodfolk token on sight.) This set includes a number of custom wooden tokens representing mystical symbols of luck given by the mysterious people of the woods.

In an abandoned campsite, scattered in the dirt near the long-dead ashes of the fire, lie a number of tarot cards. Apparently left behind by someone else lost in the Woods, the 50 or 60 cards are all from the classic Rider-Waite Tarot. Some are damaged, and many have hand-written notes scrawled on them. Discovered early in a trek into the Darkest Woods, this is a significant find for the PCs as they attempt to unravel the mysteries that face them. This special (and intentionally incomplete) set of tarot cards is akin to the many other handouts included in The Darkest Woods—and it will be downloadable from both the app and book versions. But, like the Woodfolk Tokens, it’s very much its own thing, and it’s not part of the physical Handouts Set. But imagine the experience of handing your players real tarot cards—complete with cryptic notes and actual damage—as their PCs discover them. Imagine them poring over each card as they piece together the clues they offer. It’s one more way to build on the immersion of The Darkest Woods.
