Dread
WINNER OF THE 2006 GOLD ENNIE FOR INNOVATION
Explore hostile worlds of your own creation with Dread, a game carved from the intense emotions buried in your favorite horror stories. Through individually crafted questionnaires, players are coaxed into revealing their characters’ abilities, shortcomings, personalities, and fears. These characters are plunged into macabre tales devised by the host. When moments of conflict and peril arise in the story, it is the players’ nerves, rather than the whims of dice, that determine the fates of their characters.
This book, a few friends, your own sick imagination, and one set of Jenga® blocks is all you need.

Dread is published by the Impossible Dream.
