# Liminal Horror: Investigators tags: #game/rpg/liminal-horror-investigators ![[Liminal Horror - Investigators (cover).jpg]] **Liminal Horror: Investigators** is a tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) that plunges you and your friends into the unsettling world of Liminal Horror, a realm where familiar locations take on a sinister and uncanny quality. Picture the eerie silence of a deserted shopping mall after closing hours, the chilling emptiness of a school hallway in the dead of night, or the unsettling stillness of an abandoned hospital. These are the liminal spaces, the in-between places where reality itself seems to thin, and where the horrors of **Liminal Horror: Investigators** lie in wait. This game embraces a unique "pass/fail" dice mechanic that sets it apart from many other TTRPGs. Each character possesses three core Attributes: Strength, Dexterity, and Control, rated on a scale of 3 to 18, with 10 representing the average human. When your Investigator attempts an action, you roll a 20-sided die (d20). If the result is equal to or less than the relevant Attribute, you succeed. However, there's a catch: a roll of 1 is always a success, while a roll of 20 always results in failure, regardless of your character's Attribute score. This system creates an atmosphere of unpredictable tension, where even the most skilled character can stumble, and even the most desperate attempt can sometimes lead to unexpected success. **Liminal Horror: Investigators** is the second edition of the game. The original **Liminal Horror** was released in 2020. This second edition, released in 2023, refines the rules, expands the setting, and provides more character options, offering players greater depth and flexibility in creating their Investigators. Key changes include a revised Sanity system that delves deeper into the psychological effects of encountering the horrific, a more detailed character creation process that allows for richer and more nuanced Investigators, and a stronger focus on the psychological aspects of horror, emphasizing the dread and unease that permeate the liminal spaces. ## References - [Liminal Horror RPG - Official Website](https://www.liminalhorrorrpg.com/)
