Mirror on the Wall — An Immersive Dread TTRPG

“You are one of a handful of children who all grew up together in the privileged upper middle to wealthy class of Edwardian Southern England. While most of you were born and raised in Sutton in South London, you would summer at one friend’s family estate in Guildford. As you all grew you stayed in contact, mainly through your dear friend Cayt. Cayt was the definition of selflessness and compassion. She was clever and kind and, while she was a bit of a rascal, no one could stay mad at Cayt for long. Unfortunately, your dear friend passed away last week, and now the friends are all gathering in one place for the first time in nearly two decades to lay everyone’s best friend to rest.”

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 if desired.
