A collection of resources and guidelines for setting up horror tabletop RPG adventures.
From Wikipedia:
A tabletop role-playing game is a form of role-playing game (RPG) in which the participants describe their characters' actions through speech. Participants determine the actions of their characters based on their characterization, and the actions succeed or fail according to a set formal system of rules and guidelines. Within the rules, players have the freedom to improvise; their choices shape the direction and outcome of the game.
Tabletop RPGs are orchestrated in campaigns. A campaign is a set of game sessions where players partake in an exclusive journey, where their characters will experience and overtake the events and challenges that might come.
An RPG campaign starts by designating one of the players to the special role of game master (GM), sometimes also known as the dungeon master (DM). The GM is responsible for preparing the game, narrating the story, and enforcing the game rules. The GM also acts as the final word during conflicts and to decide the outcome of events. While the other players each control one of the story protagonists, the GM role-plays and makes decisions for the other characters of the story, including enemies, hostages, traders and animals. The players are driven by the plot and storytelling of the GM to control and enact as a character that belongs to the story, influencing the direction and conclusion of the story.
The rule set (hereby referred to as the system) guides the GM in creating a compelling and coherent adventure for the other players. It also establishes the freedoms and restrictions of the players, as well as the rules for interaction between player characters and the world they live. Besides a GM, an RPG system often requires other resources to be played, such as dice, pen and paper.
The GM should be well habituated to the system in use and help the other players during the game. More complex systems might require that all players study the general rules before the game starts.
It's no doubt that Dungeons and Dragons is a huge phenomenom in nerd culture, bringing fantasy storytelling and roleplay to many game nights. But this classic RPG system is far from being the only available.
