[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8259646, member: 93670"] No I think he raises good points, that' part of why I tried bringing up the need for these kinds of lists to incorporate questions tat target specific themes and tropes drawn from the various horror types that could get unsettling rather than a few random phobias & such in the last thread. Wotc actually makes that kind of easy for us with the coin/cutout marker things that stamp expected types of horror on the various domains with the handy icons they've been tweeted. So far we have[URL='https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FolkHorror'] Folk Horror[/URL], [URL='https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorrorhttps://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CosmicHorrorStory']Body Horror[/URL], [URL='https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&cx=006443654034974345143:kc4pt9dnkle&q=https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarkFantasy&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjH3qHx_p_wAhUgElkFHalxBmwQFjAAegQIABAB&usg=AOvVaw3Y9uZLw4qfLnRumaIpBZ92']Dark Fantasy[/URL], [URL='https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CosmicHorrorStory']Cosmic Horror[/URL], [URL='https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GothicHorror']Gothic Horror[/URL], & ghost stories... All of those bring their own tropes themes & potentially squicky twists on things twisted to deliberately unsettling notches on the dial. Those unsettling notches aren't bad on their own because some people will enjoy playing out the unsettling things happening to their PC while others will feel unsettled themselves. Names make discussion easier so I'll use some.
