Shiver: Core Rulebook

Shiver is a tabletop roleplaying game that lets players bring their favourite scary movies, spooky TV shows, and horror stories to life. Ever wanted to play through the plot of your favourite film on the tabletop? Or wanted to make sequels, prequels and original stories in the worlds of pop culture you love? Shiver lets you do just that.

Shiver is setting neutral allowing you to play any story, anytime, and as anyone. Want to play a game of teens in survival mode against a zombie horde? Kids on bikes who dread exploring a haunted house on Halloween night? Or perhaps a medieval monster hunter looking for a werewolf, vampire or mage? Shiver can deliver stories and characters for anything from cult pulp classics to Cthulhu fuelled eldritch mystery.

Shiver uses custom symbolic dice to keep players immersed in the story as well as providing a visual role playing aid that does away with pesky arithmetic. Character creation is quick and easy with a simple skill point and ability system that links to the game's dice. Perfect for a one shot or short story between main campaigns, it can also be used to form longer narratives tying one-shot stories together using rules for sequels.

Includes:

• Detailed character creation for any setting.
• An easy to use character sheet.
• Monsters and enemies galore to slay or be slain by.
• Full Doom Clock rules to keep your story moving and raise the tension.
• Thought death was the end of your story? Think again - and get haunting.
• Full rules for both Players and Directors.
• A suite of weapons and items from the generic to the esoteric.
