CHILL RPG is back...maybe - Pfr_Fate - 10-13-2014 06:51 PM
It's close.
To inform, Chill is an RPG that is devoted to horror and scary stories. Not just one style, like Lovecraftian or Zombie, but open ended. It is about humanity versus fear. And it is just plain wonderful.
It disappeared during the time of Lestat style horror, not keeping up with the superheroics of monster player characters and someone tried a 3rd edition but the crowdfunding failed. Now there is another chance at a great game... going back to the original system and cleaning it up a bit, this third edition is on Kickstarter and it is this close to making it...which means it is this close to failing.
Please...help out.. The players here will like the game... push it over the top:

Interesting. It looks like it'll make it. Sadly, I'm already drowning in half a dozen RPG systems to read and try out... While I don't have enough people to do so. One of them was a horror one (tremulus).

Very interesting. Heard of "Chill", never played it.
Just started dipping my toes back into RPG via Solo RPG'ing using the Mythic Game Master Emulator + lots of other tools.
Had considered looking for a Horror RPG. Had long thought a "X-Files" style "agents of some organization vs monster of the week+ conspiracy" campaign would be good.
Will have to read up on this some more. Interested in what all kinds of things it supports. (Aliens? Cryptids?)

16 days to go & $2000 needed to Fund. I have CHILL & all the expansions including the Board Game (Pacesetter edition)
,it's been a long time since I even thought about it. In the original material was all about every supernatural being
you could think of I don't remember any Aliens or Cryptids (but it's been years since I've looked at it).
I do recall some of the material was genuine scary. S.A.V.E. was the organization that the player characters
belonged to. I hope the KS makes it.

Pretty flexible monster system to easily allow anything you want. The point of it being: you're human, it's not, so good luck finding out what it can and can't do and making sure no-one dies in the process.
OD: made some Black Morn Manor stuff....some cards for the characters with a history bit and special abilities, some bi-fold pawns... but my computer died and I'd have to scan them from what I produced...

My wife liked Black Morn so we played it a lot back in the day more characters would be cool.
I'm not into RPG & I only remember playing the Learning Mission from the Rule Book but
the expansions were just a good read.

Apparently Goblinoid Games (makers of fine Retroclones like B/X clone"Labyrinth Lord") brought Pacesetter games back. So while they no longer have the rights to "Chill", they did do a retroclone of the system "Cryptworld".
So if for some reason the 3rd ed doesn't make it, there is still an option for those interested.
