Horror + Story Telling + Jenga = Dread
Dread is a game of horror and suspense. Those who play it get drawn into a macabre tale of mutual drama. Each of you creates a character and takes on that role, as you work your way through a horror scenario making life or death decisions.How Dread Works
Character Creation
Dread uses a questionnaire for individuals to create a skeleton idea of a character, which is fleshed out as the story unfolds. This allows characters to grow with the telling of the story.
Game Play
Rather than having traditional dice roles that determine skill levels, should your task be something with the realms of possibility of your character it passes, however, if your fear level is elevated or your task required a special skill you do not possess a Jenga block is removed, thus creating more pressure and tension into the mix.
Having played this recently, it has gone down well with many individuals within my group. I recommend this as an alternative introduction to allow individuals to experience RPG.
