# Nightmares *Created:* 2026-11-06 The horror end of the catalogue: zombies, old gods, and things with too many teeth. It is a family mostly because the same reaction table does fear so well. ## Setting Outbreaks, backwoods, and the moment the thing you were arguing with comes back for your throat — THW's horror games share a tone more than a world. ## Mechanics A **Reaction** test doing double duty as a nerve check is the through-line: seeing the thing is the mechanic, not the preamble to it. ## The Games - **[[All Things Zombie]]** (2009) — Day one of the outbreak, before you can tell the living from the risen. - **[[High Moon]]** (2015) — Werewolves in the Old West, after the moon comes up. - **[[Lovecraft's Revenge]]** (2016) — The Mythos, with a Reaction test as the sanity check.
