Alien horror (PD)From the alien mind-bending horrors of Lovecraft, to the modern Hollywood slasher flick, Horror is a wide ranging genre that can be difficult to pull off correctly.

Most forms of Horror works best when characters are relatively weak compared to their adversaries. It is suggested that non-heroic characters are used, with most skills probably focused on everyday professions. For modern horror, a group of teenagers, academics or tourists can work well.

The main difference between horror games and 'standard' games in the same setting is that horror often includes rules for fright and insanity which can sometimes play quite a large role in the game.
