Core Mechanic

Roll d100 under stat/skill. Stress and panic mechanics escalate tension.

Best For

Terrifying sci-fi horror one-shots and short campaigns. Panic table creates unforgettable moments.

Highlights

Rules-light, well-regarded module library, panic system creates mechanical tension

Considerations

Panic table can cascade and end sessions abruptly, limited long-campaign support in core rules, stress mechanics can feel repetitive over extended play
