Episode 5: Horror Roleplaying Games, or F#&$ Samuel Haight

Vampire: The Masquerade, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, World of Darkness both new and old, Ravenloft, Call of Cthulhu…what draws us to these classic horror roleplaying systems and settings? Guest Ari Marmell (fantasy author and game designer for White Wolf and Wizards of the Coast) joins us at the Gamer’s Tavern to talk about these systems, how they influenced gaming, and why we’re so attracted to the dark and macabre.
