There are things that dwell in the dark places of the world, deep beneath the ground, in long-abandoned crypts, or in musty attics; terrible things that can destroy your body and shatter your mind. Few sane individuals would ever think to seek out such nightmares, but those that are drawn into the darkness often find it infecting them, corrupting them in ways both subtle and gross. Some think that those who die facing off against such horrors are the lucky ones, for the survivors are forever scarred by their experiences. Horror Adventures gives you everything you need to bring these nightmares to your game.

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Horror Adventures includes:

  • Corruptions that can turn your character into a monster, from a blood-drinking vampire to a savage werewolf.
  • Character options to help heroes face the forces of darkness, including horror-themed archetypes, feats, spells, and more.
  • Rules for sanity and madness, giving all the tools needed to drive characters to the brink and beyond.
  • Tips and tools for running a scary game, along with expanded rules for curses, diseases, haunts, and fleshwarping to bring your nightmares to life.
  • New templates to turn your monsters into truly terrifying foes, from creatures made from living wax to the stalker that cannot be stopped.

Characters can take far more than a few hit points of damage when their very sanity is called into question from witnessing horrors too terrible to comprehend. To face such nightmares, the heroes can take new feats, utilize powerful spells, and even acquire holy relics to aid them. They will need every edge they can get if they plan to survive the secrets of this book.

The new Strange Aeons AP will be Lovecraftian in focus? Wasn't that covered in Carrion Crown AP?

Also, will this be useful when running Carrion Crown, a bit after the fact?

Looking forward to this very much. I'll still get Ultimate Intrigue, but it's not as interesting to me as Horror Adventures will be, I think.

Maybe too well-timed. I had forgot this book was coming out. I wonder if Wizards did Strahd to preempt or compete on purpose? Movie studios do it all the time.

The RPG industry is a small world, so "secrets" might not be that secret. That being said, I'm not sure this needs to be seen as competition. They can be complementary.

But all conspiracy ideas aside, this could just be serendipity.

Or maybe Paizo knew and wants to capitalize on it.

But its probably coincidence. Though I will say it looks like WotC may have been working on curse for a very long time.

With the amount of threads, sites, and G+ posts dedicated to "convert this thing to my favorite RPG!", I can't imagine this will end up being anything other than complementary ;-)

Rising tide and all that. It would be cool to have tables of Pathfinder running curse at the store along with 5e.

Yeah, this.... All in all really looking forward to this as well as Strahd. It's a good year for Horror RPG fans...:)
