Join GM Katy Crow around the Tower with DREAD!

Welcome to DREAD- the horror TTRPG that uses a Jenga tower instead of dice! (Please note that DREAD is, at base, a HORROR game. That means spooky situations, monsters, and potential character death.) You will be given a character questionnaire sheet to build your own character, and step into the world laid before you.

The main mechanic used will be a simple Jenga tower. Pull and successfully place a piece for specific actions. The rest is just roleplay! And what happens if the Tower falls? Your character is doomed, but players can access a special post-death game.

Costumes and accents are optional but most certainly welcome!

Once you have your ticket, please fill out this questionaire to build your character. Making a character in advance isn't required, but it will help the GM weave your character into the game.
