PARA The Roleplaying Game

Strange things happen to people like you—and at Hastur College, you’re finally not alone. Others here have inexplicable, unsettling powers too but just as you begin to find true acceptance among your peers, dark secrets emerge: malevolent forces, hidden histories, and chilling warnings from wary seniors.

Welcome to PARA, a narrative TTRPG where Tarot, not dice, decides your fate. PARA gameplay is built around paranormal, occult, and sometimes horrific powers and themes while highlighting the strength that comes in found family. The core rulebook includes a full sandbox campaign at Hastur, but PARA easily adapts to other settings like the Golden Age of Hollywood, secret government experiments, or wherever your dreams--and nightmares--lead you.
