Fitter, happier, more productive...
Liminal Horror is a rules-lite, adaptable modern horror roleplaying game about normal characters and their struggles against the things that go bump in the night.

The game focuses on investigation, blending simple, old-school inspired rules with modern, narrative first principles, where survival is not guaranteed and those that do survive are often forever changed. It is a rules-lite, fail forward system that leverages creative problem solving in order to create memorable experiences at the table. Players act as 'investigators' navigating a modern world full of terrible and unknowable horrors.

Stress & Fallout: Play deals with horror themes. This is represented mechanically by Stress and Fallout. Fallout is how characters are changed encountering horrors. The design avoids using mental illness and trauma as game-play mechanics.

Wounds: A new system for detailing the lasting physical effects of injuries, including locations and severity.
This updated edition contains:
Cleaner layout
Clarified text
A new Wounds system
New Archetypes for quicker character creation
Tools to align the focus more on “modern horror” than “cosmic horror”

Miles V. ★★★★★

Ran a session with zero prep and the rules-lite system carried the whole night, the adaptability really shines when players go off the rails. My group’s still talking about how the normal-characters angle made every encounter feel genuinely tense.

Matthew ★★★★★

Picked this up for a one-shot and was surprised how much tension the simple dice system created—our group was on edge the whole time. The rules are light enough that we spent almost no time looking things up and more time actually playing. It really nails that feeling of normal people being in over
