Fitter, happier, more productive...
Liminal Horror is a rules-lite, adaptable modern horror roleplaying game about normal characters and their struggles against the things that go bump in the night.
The game focuses on investigation, blending simple, old-school-inspired rules with modern, narrative first principles, where survival is not guaranteed, and those who do survive are often forever changed. It is a rules-lite, fail-forward system that leverages creative problem solving in order to create memorable experiences at the table. Players act as 'investigators' navigating a modern world full of terrible and unknowable horrors.
For fans of Junji Ito, John Carpenter, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Call of Cthulhu, Monster of the Week, or Silent Legions, but wanting a rules-lite adaptable system. It is a modern horror hack of Yochai Gal's Cairn.
Gameplay: Fast and simple rules (the summary fits onto a single page). There are 3 stats (Strength, Dexterity, Control), and players make saves when there is a risk of failure. Rolling equal to or under is a success. No rolls to hit: Damage is dealt automatically.
Stress & Fallout:Â Play deals with horror themes. This is represented mechanically by Stress and Fallout. Fallout is how encounters with the horrors change the characters. The design avoids using mental illness and trauma as mechanics.
Wounds: A new system for detailing the lasting physical effects of injuries, including locations and severity.
This updated edition contains:
- Cleaner layout
- Clarified text
- A new Wounds system
- New Archetypes for quicker character creation
- Tools to align the focus more on “modern horror” than “cosmic horror”
