Ever wondered how it is to be in a horror movie where you are forced to work with complete strangers trying to escape from the clutches of a creepy antagonist with a chainsaw? Shiver RPG offers that exact experience of suspense, fear, and panic.

The Final Girl begins with a statement by the author, declaring “I consistently hate survivors in horror movies” and for good reason. Where Final Girl distinguishes itself from its contemporaries is by putting more emphasis on the relationships between characters - you know, so they’re not just disposable and unlikeable blood bags. No, Final Girl wants you to care about the characters that make up the game’s beating heart, working collaboratively as a group to decide who lives, who dies and whose story is worth telling. Those relationships that are formed then become the tools that keep characters believe, giving characters one more card as a resource and one less in the Killer’s hands.Collecting another undoubted success, a sign that the horror genre is far from being dead and buried. Secrets of Spireholm is a huge Gothic campaign that can be played over a large number of sessions taking characters right from their early levels as nighttime novices all the way to hardened veterans of horror. Inside you’ll find everything you need to play the story including monster profiles, items, NPCs, and plot galore. This number is the amount of dice to roll when testing that specific Skill. The other Skills must all have a value of 3 except for the one that is considered the weak point of the character; it will be assigned a value of 2. If you are hungry for horror and want to try new games and content as well as help shape future releases with us, then this is the perfect tier for you. After reading the manual and having tested Shiver, I can conclude this review by confirming that it is a very versatile game. The quality of the final product is outstanding and the success of the new project confirms our general impression.

Patrons at this tier will receive a full SHIVER Story so sate your monthly scary game night. We'll be plumbing the depths of horror and exploring a wide variety of sub-genres and requests from the community to help bring tales of terror to life that you want to see and play. There are no winners or losers in Shiver, in fact only the story and how it proceeds according to the choices of the characters matters. The aim is to create and play a scary and emotional story. With SHIVER Gothic we wanted to explore a specific area of the horror universe, gothic horror. We also wanted to take SHIVER and show how it could be used for long form story telling, moving tales to the realm of a multi-episode TV show rather than one off films. A crew answers a distress signal in the uncharted depths of deep space, only to find more than just survivors. In fact, the subsequent question of inspirations has come up frequently enough that Menzies has a prepared list of 24, including the likes of Nosferatu, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Universal Horror Films, Castlevania, Bloodborne, and more.I’ve died quite a lot on Discord during the pandemic. Some deaths felt cheap and pointless, mainly in overly hard online convention games. But not in Shiver. Each messy character end in this RPG was appropriately dramatic, and I’ve always had fun. Each setting has its own limitations in terms of consistency and the core book provides handy tables for adapting objects and weapons with fitting and timely examples. To help the Director there are numerous weapon tabs, so you can cross space and time and get the best of each story. Gothic horror was also the top of our list for horror sub genres to explore as it is the one that most people associate first with the genre. There aren’t many people who when asked to name a famous horror novel that don’t name Dracula, Frankenstein, or another novel of the gothic persuasion.” STRANGE is the character’s unusual talent which can be attributed to magic, psychic abilities, or even mutations.

An additional one-shot story, 'It Lives', graveyards in Spireholm are being raided, bodies alive and dead are going missing. You and the other concerned citizens of Spireholm are out to investigate and find the culprit. Oh, look, Geek Native is quoted in the pitch when I said, “Worthy of your vile consideration”. So, let’s see what Shiver Gothic offers for your new consideration. Indeed, instead of following the typical victim based format, you could always add in the amusing option Menzies himself took in one of his favourite moments during a playtest session. The question, “Should I risk that?” is a pretty significant one in Shiver. This is not an RPG in which fortune favours the bold. The level indicates the progression of the character and how many Ability Points she can spend in the Ability Tree of her Archetype. Each character therefore progresses in a unique way, allowing for an almost infinite variety of builds to play.I much prefer to play a light horror comedy style story with a feel akin to films like The Mummy or The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Stories where monsters and darkness are present in the plot but not to an overpowering degree. But my brother will happily play with some diehard horror fans with gore and scares galore.” SHIVER is setting neutral allowing you to play any story, anytime, and as anyone. Want to play a game of teens in survival mode against a zombie horde? Kids on Bikes who dread exploring a haunted house on Halloween night? Or perhaps a medieval monster hunter looking for a werewolf, vampire or mage? SHIVER can deliver stories and characters for anything from cult pulp classic toCthulhu fuelled eldritch mystery.
