Now we are mature enough to actually ‘play roles’ we enjoy the game for what it is: one of the best horror roleplaying games around, with masses of depth for characterisation and some really creepy evenings. Not only that, but we don’t have to win to have fun, something that is also true of the board game.

Much like 7th Sea and Pendragon it fits its genre very well and along with the former of those two games it has become a fixture on our campaign rotation.

I really love the investigation side and it gives a really nice sense of working together to figure something out. Especially if your GM/DM is twisted with time warps and shadow creatures.

I love the fact you can choose an era I favour the Victorian era, but I also love the modern day stuff too.

The last few games I have been banned form taking along in my ‘pen and paper’ rucksack anything that can make fire. Apparently burning everything to the ground isn’t always the most practical way to resolve situations.

It’s interesting what you say about not needing a character sheet. I agree, and reckon I could run the game using just a character sheet, which makes it potentially the lightest and cheapest rpg available!
