What is fear&reason?

fear&reason is a streamlined tabletop rpg that is meant to simulate the cosmic horror of the works of H.P. Lovecraft, August Derleth and countless others, as well as movies such as The Thing, Event Horizon, The Void, and more.

It assumes you know the basics of roleplaying games, if not you can find info [here]

Originally designed to be used with preprinted adventures from other horror based rpgs, the system is easily swapped for other low magic, high lethality systems.

BASED ON LASERS & FEELINGS AND CTHULHU DARK

This game is a mashup of Lasers & Feelings by John Harper and Cthulhu Dark by Grahm Walmsley. It doesn't pretend to be anything original, simply an homage to two great designers and fantastic games. See [Giving The Devils Their Due](#about)

ORIGINAL PLAYSETS

A key feature of fear&reason is the playsets feature used to generate original adventures. Through the use of playsets, a GM can fine tune the mood and theme of the horror presented by customizing the aspects, professions, and goals available to the player characters.

 

Threat and location tables also help narrow the focus of the adventures by tailoring the types of threats and providing thematic locations for your story.
