What Was Left Out Was Never Meant to Be Found…

While soldiers take up arms and the colonies burn with rebellion, a different battle rages in secret.

There are whispers of rituals in the woods.

Of witches who never left Salem.

Of strange things washed ashore beneath the moon.

Of grave robbers digging for more than bones.

Of healers who know too much-and speak too little.

These are the fragments. The forbidden knowledge. The pages pulled from the fire.

Originally intended for the Colonial Gothic Core Rulebook, this companion volume gathers the cut chapters, deeper lore, and unrevealed truths of the Fourth Edition. It expands the game’s shadowy heart-offering players and Gamemasters new options, new horrors, and new ways to explore the supernatural side of the American Revolution.

Inside this book, you will find:

New Professions to deepen your character creation and bring fresh faces into the struggle.
Expanded Powers and Mechanics to unlock dark secrets and forbidden abilities.
Strange Encounters and Hidden Threats drawn from folklore, history, and the forgotten pages of the colonies’ past.
Secrets and Lore that tie the unseen war in the shadows to the greater fight for independence.

This is not just a guidebook-it is a key to the world behind the curtain. The one your characters always feared was real.

What hides beneath the Revolution is older than the colonies.

And it’s waking up.

Whether you are a player hungry for new tools or a Gamemaster seeking to enrich your campaign with deeper darkness and historical mystery, this volume offers the fragments of a hidden history-a shadowed mirror of the fight for freedom, where the cost of knowledge may be more than you’re willing to pay.

Author Biography

A small boy created his first board game using Lincoln Logs and action figures. His friends liked it, and soon he went to work creating more. Then, the small boy decided that somehow, or someway, he would create games for as long as he lived. As the little boy grew, he found himself trapped in a dungeon with a dragon. He found a path, followed it out of the dungeon, and still follows it today. He has designed many games and won a few awards, but the one he is proudest of is COLONIAL GOTHIC.
