For more info on the World of Darkness, see the guide I wrote to both versions (classic/old, and new). You can run emotional drama, action, investigation games, or all three in one.
World of Darkness is a great horror game because it lets you play at all different levels of the very wide horror genre. World of Darkness games are known for their potential pathos and angst, but it isn’t required if you want to have a more casual style of gaming. The other game lines (Changeling, Geist, Promethean, Mummy and Demon) all offer their own thematic elements, from coping with abuse (changeling) to rejecting your upbringing and severing ties with your family (demon) or accepting the inevitability of death (geist). Vampire is mostly about politicking within a city, Werewolf is about policing the line between the spirit world and the physical world, Mage is about being given awesome powers just to discover that supernatural power corrupts supernaturally. If that doesn’t sound like your jam, you could always play one of the monsters- most of the new World of Darkness game lines are about playing someone thrust into a supernatural subculture. There are rules for playing as humans trying to cope with this weirdness, as well as a book on turning normal people into (capital-H) Hunters, like the Winchester brothers. The World of Darkness is crawling with supernatural nastiness: from vampires and werewolves to soul-stealing mages and agents of the mysterious God-Machine. World of Darkness is the most popular RPG after D&D and its derivatives, and many people who have played role-playing games have at least heard of White Wolf Publishing.
Let’s get this one out of the way first, because it’s the obvious one. I’m personally a fan of horror themed tabletop RPGs to begin with, so I thought that today I’d share my favorite Horror role-playing games. Some people play a totally different game that evening, while others take their normal game and give it the horror treatment. One of my favorite RPG traditions is when people put together a Halloween special session for their group. By Luke Turpeinen 0 Top 5 Horror RPGs For Halloween
