Horror isn't standard D&D, so. ;) Good thing it's online. As I said, I'd much rather play other systems. Been there, tried that. So now I'm going with where the players are.

And more of a general point... When it comes to movies, and games, etc, part of what I really love is simply the creepy. The sound of laughter in an empty house. The tinkle of a music box in a dark room. The reflection in the mirror moving by itself. A clown on a swingset at midnight. It is the...

Forgive me for not reading the last 13 pages. But as someone who is planning a 4e Survival Horror game, I have opinions. ;) 10 months ago I was on both sides of this issue. I was seriously jonsing to run a horror game, but hit a wall. There are systems out there that do horror REALLY WELL, but...

No advancement, it's 1 adventure then all new characters. For all intense and purposes imagine each adventure is a separate movie, whole new cast. The only difference is that I can put it in a fantasy setting, rather than in the modern world, purely for the sense of flavor and it allows various...

pushes up glasses, Um actually, the 30 Days, the majority of the town leaves before the sunset because they don’t want to be in a month of darkness; the movie involves the stragglers and miners who stay behind. Similar to how in Tremors it’s not a town, just basically a truck stop with a few...

I did make a thread on the D&D forum, when I was limited to trying to do this RL. But I got no bites so am doing it online, so I can use any system really. At the time I was trying to basically create a d20 version of 5E, and what ensued was a lot of “this doesn’t fit the spirit of D&D”. I’m...

No, No. These are strings one shots. Characters will not be advancing because they’re Not being played again. Most horror RPGs have no form of advancement because they are 1) typically single session games and 2) emulating a genre where usually one character survives. Call of Cthulhu is the...

Danny, I just don’t see a way to work that from how I want them to work and what they represent. And remember, the characters aren’t heroes. There’s not a reason they among a community would go out, especially because they are poorly suited. You don’t send the baker the butcher and the...

Before I respond, I have to ask what you mean here. It’s my understanding that the devil’s advocate is not speaking their earnest opinion. They are objecting on the grounds that rhetorically there can be an opposing viewpoint taken, and that since no one is genuinely arguing that point, they...

You know there’s a number on your list I don’t recognize at all. And yeah, trust me, I ha e a hefty movie list to reference. The choice really is whether I go modern or this fantasy setting I’m discussing here. As far as your other post about the Safe Havens, I’m thinking that the reason they...

Hm! I had intended to retire those lab characters once they escape, but giving a second mission with that incentive makes some sense. Especially because my intention is to use the blank slates with no memory as a way to introduce the world without foreknowledge. So then going to a town, seeing...

Oh. I guess I wasn’t clear. I meant a single adventure, then new characters, new location. I just don’t know how long that one adventure may take, so I’m leaving room. But the last thread I did here, folks assumed I meant long campaigns. I define “going looking for trouble” as in going out...

I don’t know what you mean by pick an antagonist. For the entire setting? Because I want to do different things. I don’t want the same monster/threat from one campaign to the next. One may be the ghost adventure and the next a freaky body horror adventure. No setting I can think of has a...

Anyhow, to illustrate what I’m thinking using 3e vernacular. Ab buy of 30 or so. 3 classes: Athlete. 8 hp. +2 fort save. 6 points for physical skills. Your farmers, blacksmith, etc. Artisan. 6 hp. +2 reflex. 8 points for any skill. Your every other profession. Scholar. 6 hp. +2 will save...

I see you haven t reads the thread then. At multiple points I’ve explained I am advertising the game exactly as I am describing it here. In fact further into the thread I placed my ad, I said if I use D&D, I Only Mean using a d20, skills, ability scores, and AC. No classes, no adventurers. It is...

I am looking at running some short (1-5 session) horror games and I was thinking of setting some or most in the same world, but I haven’t really nailed much down. But I’m trying to think of a fantasy world / situation that would lend itself to horror. And each game, while it might be...

While I appreciate the book recs, I don’t intend to spend any money on D&D. After investing heavily on two editions and using so little of it, no thank you. The SRD exists if I absolutely need something. But I don’t see myself needing much once I figure out the range of target numbers the...

I don’t have players yet. To sum up, I don’t want to play D&D, but I have exhausted all options to find players of other systems. My options are play D&D or don’t play. Therefore I am trying to force D&D into a form that I want to play: short 1-5 session campaigns where PCs are weak NPCs with...

I don’t know, finishing the story? Achieving the in game mission? My head has been in 1 session games for a long time. But I want a little more space for a longer story.
