We Put the "Ho Ho Ho" in Horror

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll scream, you'll jump... okay, you'll die - a lot. Based on your favorite contemporary horror movies and books, Horror Rules recreates those classic moments of creepiness that make you squeal like a little girl, but with a decidedly tongue-in-cheek twist. The rules are light and flexible and expertly tweaked to bring out the creepy and the comic in every situation. Mom always warned you that you'd shoot your eye out - in Horror Rules you will! The basic rulebook is perfect bound, softcover, packed with cool artwork, sample Bad Guys, Character Sheets, a free adventure and 100pgs of scare-your-pants-off fun! Read on for more info or buy your copy now.

Go Postal, Pee Your Pants, Lose Your Mind
Keep your grip on reality with handy Grip Points. Count 'em up at the beginning, then sit back and watch 'em go. Check your Grip against Startles, Scares, Freaks or even the dreaded Flip Out, where failure can mean anything from a fainting spell to loss of bladder control to a true homicidal episode. And when Grip is gone, don't worry - you're not out, you're just insane. Ahh, random insanity - truly the spice of life!

Be A Hero, Save the Day
Be A Zero, Save Yourself
What would horror be without all those peculiar folks we love so much? Horror Rules gives them to you on a platter. Choose from all your favorite Character Types: daring Action, snobbish but powerful VIP's, brilliant Labcoats, quirky Propellorheads, devious Cons, or the ever-popular and surprisingly resilient Regular Joe. Each Character Type is gifted with a special, unique Character Power to help you dig out of those tight spots. Watch your Action character fly across the room to save a pal from certain death, or the Propellorhead whip up an infra-red motion tracker to keep the group on full alert, or the Regular Joe... well, watch the Regular Joe look the other way. Don't laugh - in Horror Rules, that can save your life.
Do Stupid Things - Earn Points
At last! A game that rewards your stupidity! It's simple: do stupid things, earn Stupid Thing Points. Everyone wants 'em, everyone needs 'em. Get enough (and survive) and trade them in on Luck or Second Though Points to save your bacon later on. So go ahead - stick your head in that hole, pull that lever, investigate that strange noise, wander off in the woods by yourself. You KNOW you want to...

A Dozen Games in One
Packed with almost endless Styles of Play, Horror Rules can be quickly and easily tweaked to suit almost every taste. Play with or against your friends, or both in the same session! Great for everything from parties to campaign play, even repeating the same adventure Scripts over and over is no problem! Some Styles are hilarious, some are twisted, but all are guaranteed to pack your evening with fun and scares. Try "Stars," "Point of No Return," "Limited Victims," "Friends Like These," "Bad Apple," or the unforgettable and ever-popular "Dare To Be Stupid." And, with FREE Horror Worlds supplements, you can even take your game to different times and other realities, from super heroes to Medieval England and beyond. Now THAT's entertainment!
Can You Say "Stress"?!
You've played games where a bad dice roll can spell trouble - but how many games have you played where a slow roll can kill you?! Panic Rolls are just one of the twisted features in Horror Rules that are guaranteed to keep your pulse pounding. Thanks to this and other creative features such as Plot Pushers, Dead-lines and varying Degrees of Death, you'll never feel safe at the gaming table again. The clock is ticking, the pressure's on and the Bad Guy is never dead - it's only "down." There's only one way to tell if it's gone for sure - someone has to poke it with a stick, of course. You've seen it in the movies. Live it in the game! Now THAT's stress.
