The "Get to the Evac" concept sounds pretty cool. Also, if you want to give the game a little more plot, rather than just making it freeform "survive until you can get evac-ed" you might take a look at a few zombie apocalypse horror one-shots. If you aren't already familiar with it, there's...

This whole things sounds very cool. I'm going to be running a zombie Dread scenario in a couple of weeks, myself (I have several Dread games scheduled over the next couple of months.) I'll be back with my thoughts when I have a little more time. ~~~~Random

Gencon! Silly me, that completely slipped my mind. Thanks for the reminder. :-) I have a few things I want to run past people, but I'll start with one, for now. I'm planning to run the scenario "Aphrodite's Harvest" (originally written for All Flesh Must Be Eaten - it can be found here for...

Hey folks, just curious if anyone is still checking in on, or getting alerts on, this thread. I'd like to resurrect it again because it's always been the best place I've found to discuss Dread, and I have several games of it coming up that I'd love to get peoples' thoughts, ideas, and...

Just watched this whole thing, and I really enjoyed it. All the players were great, but Jason and Dr. Clark were both particularly killing me. "I've never been in space before, do whatever it is you do. Space darts, f-ing space poison, I don't give a $#!+." :lol: The confessional was...

Thanks so much. :D I hope it goes at least reasonably well. I admit, I am still very torn on the whole "they're already dead" thing. On the one hand, I really think it could add an unexpected twist and a really unique atmosphere and angle to things. On the other hand, I worry that it will...

That's a decent start, thanks. :) Some good stuff here. I don't know that I'd use all of it--I'm looking for a bit of a different tone in some places--but I like the sudden desolation at the facility, the destruction of ideas, the "ghostly, hostile memories" they have to fight, etc. The...

Four to six hours. I have some flex room. When we do a Dread game we make a whole day of it. We get together around lunch time on a Sunday and have lunch together, and do any pre-game chat, light roleplay, etc. After lunch, we do the game proper over the mid-late afternoon and early evening...

Dread-spionage Hey folks, So, time to once again resurrect this wonderful thread, and tap you all for thoughts, advice, and suggestions. I'm running a Dread game in a couple of weeks, and I could use some help locking down the plot. Let me give you the basics. The scenario is called "Cold."...

Oh, absolutely. That's a really good point, and I didn't intend to punish them for not knowing how things work. In fact, that's part of why I could use some advice for information source encounters or events, to work in ways for the PCs to find out what is going on, without them feeling...

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Glad you like the idea. It just sort of started coming together for me all at once, so I knew it was the scenario idea I had to pursue first. Yeah, that's what my gut was telling me...it was too big. Plus, I am thinking now that having them not actually...

"Majestic Seven" Characters Ok, so here's what I have so far on the PCs. I have decided to give each of them a nickname, and use that--along with their archetype--to identify them. I plan to let the PCs determine in their questionnaires how most of them got their nicknames, and what their real...

I am more than happy to have my ideas stolen, er...plundered, er...critiqued. :lol: Seriously, if folks like my ideas enough to swipe them for their own games, I'd be thrilled. That's part of why I want to put my ideas up here, and get people's input...to make it into a scenario that works...

I'd love to hear some details on the scenarios you've developed so far. I'm looking to try to run one-shots of the game on a semi-regular basis, and although occasionally I will have a whole new group of players, and can thus reuse scenarios, more often I will have at least some--if not most or...

Hi there folks! I just discovered this game, a couple of weeks ago. I've ordered my copy of it, got my Jenga set, and have my first session of the game scheduled for about a week and a half from now. :D Anyway, I'm hoping there's still some life left in this topic, because I haven't found any...
