From the cosmic horrors of Call of Cthulhu to the personal agonies of Vampire: the Masquerade and everywhere in between, horror gaming offers the strongest flavors and deepest wounds of all. How can GMs leverage the unique qualities of horror and the common best practices of TTRPGs to truly creep the flesh of their players -- and meaningfully endanger the characters?
