someone had to die

I ran a horror game over the weekend called dread. It's a role-playing game that is much freer of rules than most role-playing games I am familiar with. The rule most of consequence is that when the tower of dread falls whoever was touching it last is immediately removed from the game.

The tower of dread is a  stack of blocks 3 wide stacked in multiple layers that resembles a trade marked game, but is not that game. However you could buy that game to make a tower of dread. 

Players pull blocks from the tower to accomplish difficult tasks or tasks outside of their background. The backgrounds are created by answering questions prepared in this case by myself.

It was fun and I will be running another game soon. I will be posting the next sets of questions as I get them finished. So that anyone who might play will have a chance to see them before they have to answer.

I also want to write up the first session as a short story as well as the stories that follow. To tickle my own particular sense of humor I plan to write an obituary for the character who died. This will be a steady thing since to end the game, someone has to die.
