Happy Holidays from Port Le Moyne

Like so many nights you're on your own, you end up at Beverly's Bar, the only gay bar in any town near Port Le Moyne. There's Beverly's burgers. There's potluck dessert. There's some crappy holiday music and even crappier beer. But there's some people you know, and maybe they'll help you forget the people you're missing.

Christmas Eve. First Night of Hannukah. Fog like pea soup. But this foggy, lonely Holiday night is Port Le Moyne's last. 

What will try to save? Who will you take with you?


The Last Silent Night is a single-scenario Forged in the Dark game about lonely people in a gay bar in a Central Gulf Coast town about to die. Inspired by Stephen King's novel 'Salem's Lot, the movie Messiah of Evil, and Jex Thomas's Bump in the Dark, The Last Silent Night is about lonely people caught together in a gay bar on a town's last holiday eve and the people and places they will try to save.

Created for the Iron Country Autumn and Queer Fear Jams, The Last Silent Night is in active development and will be playtesting at Metatopia 2023.

Right now, the game has three playbooks and a map of Beverly's Bar. As playtesting continues, I'll add a town map with some businesses, player rules, and GM procedures.

This looks really cool. I'm interested in seeing more! Did you adapt Bump in the Night's Clues and investigation mechanics?

Hey Hendrik - I’m working on those, but probably won’t have anything to show for them until after Metatopia next weekend. 

Cool—I'm looking forward to seeing the direction you take it in
