Sasquatch Bloodbath: A Savage Tale from Pine Ridge

“It’s the summer of 1975. The Eagles are on the radio. There’s beer in the cooler. And something is screaming in the woods…”

Welcome to Pine Ridge Horror—a brutal, backwoods actual play podcast set deep in the pine-choked canyons of Nebraska, where the trees have eyes, the shadows have claws, and the only thing colder than the night air is the steel in your hands.

Using the Savage Worlds tabletop RPG system, Pine Ridge Horror is a savage tale of man versus monster, flesh versus fang, and nature versus nightmare. It’s fast. It’s cinematic. And it doesn’t give a damn about your hit points.

This ain't your grandpa's campfire story.

In this immersive horror audio drama, listeners are thrown headlong into a desperate hunt for what the government is calling a “rabid bear.” But as a ragtag group of volunteer hunters, park rangers, Vietnam vets, and whiskey-drenched locals push deeper into Pine Ridge National Forest, they uncover a secret buried in the dirt—something too big, too fast, and too angry to be called an animal. Rabid? Sure. But bear? Not even close. Try nine feet tall, covered in fur, and pissed off like you wouldn’t believe.

From the first mutilated corpse to the final, blood-drenched stand at an abandoned cabin, this is a survival horror story that pulls no punches. Fear checks, dismemberments, racist rednecks with loaded rifles, ancient legends, and something the Lakota call Wendigo—they’re all here, scratching at the cabin walls and howling in the black.

Pine Ridge Horror fuses the adrenaline-soaked mechanics of Savage Worlds with the atmospheric dread of 1970s grindhouse cinema. Think The Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets The Blair Witch Project, with a healthy injection of Predator and Deliverance and a soundtrack soaked in Led Zeppelin, Sabbath, and CCR.

This is horror like it used to be—raw, personal, and absolutely merciless.

Expect:

• Immersive, rules-light actual play powered by Savage Worlds

• Cinematic narration and character-driven chaos

• 1970s setting full of paranoia, polyester, and bad decisions

• Sasquatch horror, Wendigo mythos, and cryptid terror

• Tension so thick you could slice it with a rusty Bowie knife

• A no-nonsense tone with just the right amount of camp and blood-soaked humor

Perfect for fans of actual play horror podcasts like Ain’t Slayed Nobody, The White Vault, or Old Gods of Appalachia, and for anyone who’s ever screamed at a VHS tape of The Hills Have Eyes and thought, “I could survive that.” Spoiler alert: you probably couldn’t.
