About the game:
There is something deeply rotten in this town.
Beneath the white picket fences and worried smiles is a festering evil as people go missing and pets are mutilated.
An evil that is growing as doors stay locked and bolted.
An evil has been feeding, growing and taking people from their beds into the darkness of night.
An evil that is ready to rear its ugly head again.
An evil that grows hungrier and hungrier.
It is nearly time to feed again.
THEY FEED ON FEAR is a semi-cooperative, horror-themed, narrative tabletop roleplaying game.
The players embody Fear-Eaters; eldritch interdimensional beings that feed on a form of human energy called Essence. A Fear-Eater’s aim is to be the first to accumulate sufficient Essence to achieve its End Goal. One person assumes the role of the Provider (game master) and is in charge of describing the game’s world, its inhabitants and their responses to player actions.
Unlike most RPGs, the Provider does not issue quests.
Instead, players are the primary action initiators, determining their own path toward realizing their End Goal.
Both players and the Provider participate in creating and introducing locations to a Community.
THEY FEED ON FEAR is about creating each Fear-Eater’s narrative, legend and Lore.
