[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 3575287, member: 317"] As much as I love BRP Call of Cthulhu, it never has captured the sheer horror of Kult. I've played and GMed all 3 editions, and the latest is the best rules-wise. Kult is the only game I've ever run where players called me a day or so later having had nightmares, and one girl with an axiety disorder had panic attacks from it. :confused: I tend to specialize in running horror-themed RPGs- even my D&D games and Paranoia games tend to be laced with horror. Call of Cthulhu is more fantasy than horror, and the Cthulhu mythos doesn't quite pack the same punch nowdays, because we realize the universe is a lot bigger and more impersonal than it was thought to be in the 1920s. So hands down, Kult is the big winner of horror RPGs. That said, I've run and played in quite a few disturbing Deadlands games. Even though Deadlands is geared towards the campy fun of the Evil Dead movies, with a good GM it can become a surreal horror game that can be very good. Deadlands is my favorite RPG of all time- nothing else even comes close for the amount of sheer fun I've derived from a game. [/QUOTE]
