Fright Night

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A young woman walks home from her night class. The buses have stopped, but the streets are well-lit and her apartment is nearby, so she's not particularly concerned as she checks her phone for messages and email. Exhausted and distracted, she doesn't notice a dark shape stalking her from the shadows; the only thing that betrays its presence is a brief, metallic glint...

In an antique shop, a man is looking for a birthday present for his daughter. After browsing the shelves for some time, he selects a doll, carelessly knocking another one to the ground and shattering part of it's face. He looks around and, relieved that the cashier didn't hear anything, scoots the broken doll under a shelf with his foot. As he walks over to pay for the other one, the broken doll's remaining eye opens, and it's head slowly turns toward him...

The team is excited by the discovery of a cylindrical shaft that descends deep beneath the ruins they were excavating. They eagerly rig up a pulley system and begin lowering someone down, but after a few hundred feet the rope suddenly jerks to a sudden halt, causing him to fumble and drop the flashlight he was carrying. As he reaches for a spare, he hears something scuttling about on the wall before him...

Fright Night is a lightweight, easy to learn and quick to play tabletop role-playing game intended to evoke the feel of b-movies, slasher flicks, horror films, and even dark comedies. The players take on the role of typical, everyday people that somehow cross paths with a variety of malevolent entities that they must either defeat, escape from, or contain. 

Or, die trying.

The rules are minimal and flexible, using a simple dice pool mechanic that relies entirely on six-siders: when you try to do something, you roll a number of dice equal to your stat, and each 5 or 6 is a success.

While the players work with the Director to set the scene, and cast their characters and the extras, both the monster's nature and course of the story are randomized through a series of tables. This means that even the Director has no idea exactly what you will face or what’s going to happen next.

Not only does this provide a kind of story framework useful for new Game Masters to work with (especially those not used to winging it), it also prevents you from learning the trends and habits of the guy your group normally ropes into the job of running your games.

I love Horror Tabletop RPGs and I have read, played and run a lot of them. In a very short time Fright Night has become one of my favorites. The system is simple (d6 pool with 5 or 6 as a successes) and I love the way you can randomize some of the comp [...]

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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
