Challenge of the Horror Hosts

Welcome to the glorious world of Tricube Tales! The Tricube Tales game system, developed by Richard Woolcock, uses 3 six-sided dice and one page of rules making it easy to learn. The system's focus on story and flexibility allows for easy exploration of a wide variety of genres -- including the campy horror genre used for CHALLENGE OF THE HORROR HOSTS!

Challenge of the Horror Hosts Tricube Tales Horror

In CHALLENGE OF THE HORROR HOSTS, you adopt the role of a low-budget TV show host that inadvertantly gets transported into the world of old-school monster and sci-fi movies. From there, it's up to this twisted team to destroy monsters, rescue innocents and keep the Earth safe from invasion!  Whether you want to be like Elvira and Svengoolie or the Crypt-Keeper and Zacherley, its time be part of the story!

CHALLENGE OF THE HORROR HOSTS is the perfect one-shot or mini-campaign for Halloween!

Just imagine all this in one page of rules (PLUS one page of adventures ideas AND a full adventure scenario): 

There’s one for every channel on the dial – a Horror Host! Normally, a Horror Host helps guide viewers through a weird and macabre catalog of strange tales, but something has gone wrong! Now this group of sultry vampires, mad scientists, once-dead corpses and cackling masterminds has been swept up into vortex where they’re living through the stories they used to crack jokes about!

Facing a gang of B-movie murderers, madmen, marauders, malcontents and mutants will put the Horror Hosts to test, and if they fail – they’re dead meat! Luckily, they have the wits, skills and schmaltzy powers that comes with the job. Can the Horror Hosts survive until the next reel? It’s certainly going to be interesting.

In Challenge of the Horror Hosts, characters encounter one schlocky nightmare after another, hoping they can make it to the end credits!

CHALLENGE OF THE HORROR HOSTS is an RPG title from PARADE OF HEROES. Be sure to pick up other Tricube Tales titles from the developer of the Tricube Tales system, Zadmar Games, as well as other publishers!


FAQ FOR 'CHALLENGE OF THE HORROR HOSTS'

Question: Hey, the traits are a little different than a normal Tricube Tales title. What did you change? Why?

Answer: Since this game emulates the idea of TV hosts going on adventures, we changed attributes. First, we merged AGILE and BRAWNY into ATHLETIC. Next we added OBSERVANT. ATHLETIC covers all the physical traits of a person. OBSERVANT covers all the senses - a person with this trait is, well, observant, attentive and quick reactions. They have a fine attention to detail and they notice things that are out of place. CRAFTY remains all about being smart and clever.

We opted for this change to reflect the tropes of the concept better. 

Question: How does the LOW-LEVEL POWER work?

Answer: The LOW-LEVEL POWER feature is unique to CHALLENGE OF THE HORROR HOSTS. Characters should pick a power like hypnosis, transformation, pyrokenetics, illusion or summoning. All these powers could be very formindable if they were at their full strength, but that's not the case in this game. In fact, they should only be barely effective, yet somewhat useful.

The power of illusion, for example, might be allow the Horror Host to create a phantom figure or a creepy shadow. The summoning power, meanwhile, might only be effective at summoning a bottle of nail polish or random keys (one of which might work). So, yes, it's a power but it will only rarely be useful.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
