Yes, I do say I'll give multiple things, and list several examples. I had to edit this down because I fear for you, gentle viewer, and your dread at starting a 30 minute long video of my rambling. Anyway. What's the most you've been out-of-character scared in a roleplaying game? Did you enjoy it?

2:48 you nearly said "visceral descriptions of viscera". I lost an internal bet when you didn't.

[@marcushasopinions]

Haha, yes nearly did!

Ever heard of the Dread tabletop game? It's roleplay with no dice, no character sheet. Just a jenga tower. Wanna do something heroic? Avoid a danger? Pull from the tower. It falls, you die. Easy at first, worse every time. Dreadfully scary by the end of the session... assuming someone survived.

Oh wow that sounds intense! Have you played it? 😮

Yeh Mrs P ran me a 1:1 Chthuhu (huhuhu) game and I got freaked out. But I am easily scared and am scared of e.g the dark.

It's a scary genre! Do you remember what moments were specifically creepy?
