Some horror sessions frighten everyone at the table. Others fall flat by the second hour. The difference is rarely the monster.
The Encyclopedia of Tabletop Terror is a system-neutral guide to making horror work at the table. It explores how dread is built through pacing, information, player choices, atmosphere, and consequence, with practical advice for Game Masters, players, and whole groups.
Inside you will find:
Eight horror traditions, including Gothic, Folk, Cosmic, Occult, Psychological, Survival, Transformation, and Institutional.
Seven recurring forces of dread, from curses and corruption to forbidden knowledge, haunted places, and unseen threats.
Practical guidance on atmosphere, pacing, threat design, player agency, campaign structure, safety, humour, and endings.
Comparative discussion of influential horror RPGs and what their designs can teach you.
Worked examples showing how horror techniques function in actual play.
This is an instructional reference, not a bestiary, adventure collection, setting book, or random-table compendium.
Horror at the table is a shared craft. This guide shows you how to make the fear work.
