Pretty much the topic says it all, I want to find out what folks' favorite horror game is. I may not get to list all of those published, but if I miss one or two, mention it in a post.

WoD, first horror rpg I ever played :P, I love the older versions more (vampire the masquerade mainly) but white wolf brought me back when the first bloodline book came out for Vampire the Requiem :D

Wow, this is a tight race.

There actually are a number of horror games that I didn't mention.

Little Fears, In Nomine, The Seventh Seal, and Delta Green just offer up a few.
I know some consider Nobilis to be horrific, but I don't think it quite qualifies here. :)

There is a brand new horror RPG campaign "Fellowship of the White Star" missing from the survey. That's my favorite.

I also don't see Witchhunter, a new horror game by Paradigm that also premiered at Origins.

I'm kind of torn between All Flesh and Beyond the Supernatural as far as games that I'd run.

Wait! Where is Dark Conspiracy?!? It is the best Horror RPG I have ever played. Put me down for it. ;)

Thanks,

I loved old WoD but I also really like Witchcraft and AFMBE although I have never played either.

I like the old stuff, particularly the Ascension War (even though that was more on the Mage side of things).

CoC FTW!

Vampire The Masquerade hooked me when I was a PC gamer. I did a ridiculous amount of side projects for it with the most successful being the audio indexed search engine that was used to make comical conversations between characters that never happened in the game. I just sat in on a game locally and was absolutely taken with it. I've been reading some of the sourcebooks for other games like Call of Cthulhu and Kult RPG but neither are as appealing as the politically grandiose VTM.

I want to say Call of Cthuhlu but frankly the best times I have had were with Dark Ages Vampire. Unknown Armies, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, and Dark Conspiracy get honorable mentions

Coc is still the original and the best for my tastes.

Of all the horror type games I have ever tried, CoC would definitely fit the bill for the one that had the creepiest feel to it. World of Darkness games fall more into the dark-future, gothic category.

Of that list, I have only played CoC and WoD. I would give the edge to classic CoC, I guess.

If I remember correctly, Nightspawn was connected to Rifts. Or am I thinking of something else? I tried to get my friends Scott and Bill to play it in the late 90's, but it never got past the planning stages. I would still like to try it.

I guess, given the opportunity/willing players and GM, I would like to at least try all of the others a couple times.

I think Nightbane was connected to Rifts. I would really like to try CoC myself. Never had the pleasure and know very little about it.

On second thought, since I haven't seen Phish around the boards, I might not want to give Angel/Buffy a try. :p
