"Create and play characters that struggle in the hostile worlds of your imagination. This book contains all that is needed for two or more to play, except for paper, pencils and a block-stacking puzzle like Jenga."-- Explore hostile worlds of your own creation with Dread, a game carved from the intense emotions buried in your favorite horror stories. Through individually crafted questionnaries, players are coaxed into revealing their characters' abilities, shortcomings, personalities, and fears. These characters are plunged into macabre tales devised by the host. When moments of conflict and peril arise in the story, it is the players' nerves, rather than the whims of dice, that determine the fate of their characters. --
