#27 Review: NIGHTFRIGHT Horror TTRPG
We have something to put on your radar for your summer and Spooky Season gamenights! We review NIGHTFRIGHT, a GM-less, rules-light, map-making horror TTRPG. Player characters are children who find themselves in an unlit and twisty nightmare version of their house. Grab your flashlights, pack some snacks, and link arms--the doors and windows are no longer where they should be and you need to find a way out! The 'power of friendship' is not enough and no one (or entity) is around to help you... especially not that silouette in the dark stalking you. By the way, Happy Canada Day and Happy Fourth of July! ++ My mic picked up a lot more noise than I thought. Sorry that the post-production filters make some parts sound flatter than others! ++ Follow-up to my baby announcement the previous ep (#X1): the newborn has arrived! TTRPG Material Used:🔹"NIGHTFRIGHT, a Horror TTRPG" is written, designed, and laid out by Alexei Vella, with art by Alexei Vella and mortifer.um. It can be found on the Itch.io webstore at this link. For physical booklets, check out your local or regional TTRPG store. In Canada, I got my copy from Ratti Incantati. Follow NIGHTFRIGHT and Alexei Vella's work via his website or itch.io webstore.
