Architectural horror is a subgenre of intention. Novels like House of Leaves, movies like The Shining, the Saw series, and games like Control can all be called architectural horror, but what does that mean? Rob Stith of the Orpheus Protocol and I talk about the genre and my new scenario, The Night Clerk, which is now funding on Backerkit! If you want to know what the three types of architectural horror are, listen to this episode.

Back The Night Clerk on Backerkit!

The Orpheus Protocol RPG is now on DrivethruRPG.

It’s a very swingy system, where every combatant can miss in a single round, resulting in nothing happening. Can this problem be fixed?
