[QUOTE="paulewaug, post: 1190464, member: 5899"] Well Wraith Form, it does have rules for [I][B]Fear[/B][/I] so that is a good start;) Characters Can (by the rules) eventually become [B]Jaded[/B] but for CoC you could drop that option since the COC things are So freaking scarry and Mind Bending. The effects of the Fright Table are: Heart Attack, Phobia, Panicked, Shaken, Panicked (again, yes it appears twice as a result on the chart), The Mark of Fear (suffers a cosmetic alteration -such as white hair, eye twitch,...etc), and Adrenaline Surge ("fight response" takes over.) I would say a good way to stay true to (my impression) of the CoC rules is to have the more truly Cthulhu-esque monsters cause a penaly to the Fright Reslut, or maybe better, "roll twice and take the worst result." The characters in SW are basically "heroic types" rather than straight up "mundain." So they will genereally be at least a little more inclined to try to fight a big nasty, but as the Gm you can fix that by making the big nasty, Really Big and Really Nasty! The players get "bennies" but so do really nasty special crtitters. There is also a small chapter on tips to running various campaign types, including Horror. Also I guess that the Weird Wars stuff is a bit more creepy and one they are working on called "The Nam" has been said to have some Chtulhu type stuff. If you want to do creepy horror type stuff the adventure from 12 to Midnight called "Last Rites" referenced above may be a good place to start? Oh and!!!! Actually without having to buy anything you can test drive Sw for a creepy horror adventure by going to [U]the "downloads" section [/U]http://www.peginc.com/Downloads/index.htm and downloading:the Test Drive rules; and maybe pick up the Ranged Weapons pages with notes.
