A horror RPG is the perfect way to spook your friends on Halloween. Terrifying, atmospheric, and with whatever setting you want, a tabletop game can mix up your normal horror movie marathon or give your friends a scream at a party. Whether you want a classic slasher experience, spooky folk horror monsters, or supernatural detective work there's something for every group. You can ever recreate some of your favourite films and TV shows from Scooby Doo to Friday The 13th, making sure your characters don't go down to the basement when they hear a bump in the night. Or maybe they will, it's fun to be scared after all. Let us know your favourite horror games in the comments below too!

The scariest game I've ever run/played has been Dread. I've been in silly games of dread, but we turn out the lights save a candle and use atmospheric music so most of them hit hard

@joestacey6185 8 ай бұрын

I disagree with your characterisation of Dread as silly. That's not my experience of it. I'd also add The Darkest House to the list. Published by Monte Cook Games, you can take any character from any other rpg and put them in the house. Great stuff.

I can also recommend Silent Legions, Mothership, Alien RPG, and Lacuna Part 1.

If you’re playing Dread as a “silly” game, you’ve missed the whole premise of the game entirely, you’re just mucking about while playing Jenga. When you play it as intended there’s no other game that captures to raw tension of a horror game, as bad things will happen to you and you’re pulling blocks to avoid the consequences or literally survive the encounter.

That is not AT ALL how Dread plays, unless you're specifically aiming for "silly"... With the right setup every pull is tense, your hands are shaking and the GM is describing some horrible thing coming towards you, trying to spook you more and increase the tension. I played it twice, both times were among the scariest and most immersive sessions I've ever been a part of.

Thanks for the tip!! Bluebeard's Bride seems to be, too!

Love Shiver! There was another RPG called Dread, but I think the Jenga tower one came first, so the author of the other renamed it "Pandemonio" or something like that. It was a brutal RPG where players hunt demons and angels with powers that allow them to take a lot of damage.

Bluebeard’s Bride can be amazing. I must say that I’m a massive fan of Ten Candles. I’ve avoided the Jenga based games myself because of essential tremor but Dread is great for players with steady hands. Haven’t played Vaessen, Shiver or Delta Green but they do sound right up my alley!

@capile2 8 ай бұрын

I've been meaning to play Never Going Home and Achtung! Cthulhu I think they look quite interesting

Væsen! Btw a Solo booklet/ pdf is comin in the future. Right now only early backers of Irish+ British expansion have it. Cant wait! Sheer terror all alone. Group play is intended and might be pros in other ways but Free League are top notch making solid Solo + Co-op ways to play. Dragonbane and Forbidden Lands are other examples

@oneanotherstudios 8 ай бұрын

Vaesen solo rules were released today. :-)

@djnekroman 8 ай бұрын

Free League is easily one of my favorite publishers, currently. They just put out such high quality stuff!

Might I make a few suggestions also? #1 Dark Places & Demogorgons by Bloat Games has it for two RPG systems first is their own Survive This system and also for OSE. Next is Savage Worlds (Horror setting). Then there is Cryptworld - Goblinoid Games and again also from Bloat Games is their "Monsters are Our Heroes" RPG nice video enjoyed it.

Awesome!

All awesome recommendations.

Delta green is my personal favourite RPG. I'd have put Kult in this list myself

@morganclement9178 5 ай бұрын

Isn't Kult heavy on sexual horror? I could see that being a major turnoff for some.

@St_M_ 8 ай бұрын

I lowkey expected you to mention Don't Play This Game while speaking about Shiver since it's from the same people and in crowdfunding right now. But yeah, Vaesen would have been my own pick for this as well >:-]

@dicebreaker 8 ай бұрын

I only just found out about it when messaging the Parable folks but it looks very spooky and fun! Maybe I'll have to do a solo horror list next year - Maddie

@morganclement9178 5 ай бұрын

Would also recommend Shadow of the Demon Lord (dark horror fantasy) and Deadlands (western horror).

You know what's good for heroic fantasy horror? Earthdawn. But you guys never talk about it.

No Call of Cthulhu?

For me there are no "horror RPGs". Every RPG can be a horror game depending on the the story and the encounters. The GM or the player in a Solo RPG will set the atmosphere and the obstacles and encounters to be a horror or mystery or whatever. Yes, some games can help you with some random event tables and some horror creatures to fight. But this is not something a GM or a player can do by himself.
