Fear and Panic

“This system is really, really good! It's clear, concise, and very quick to pick up. I can't wait to run this the next time I'm running a horror adventure.”

Fear and Panic is a focused, player-friendly horror role-playing game system.

Character creation is lightning-fast, designed to feel familiar to players of other popular horror games and easy to pick up for new players.

Combat is simple and deadly, with simultaneous resolution, no tactical maps, and no hitpoints.

Witnessing horrors inspires Fear in your characters – a useful resource they can spend to push themselves beyond their normal abilities.

Printed copies of Fear & Panic come with a free copy of the PDF edition (which can be downloaded immediately at checkout). 

This edition of Fear & Panic has been published in the UK by Patchwork Fez Games, in collaboration with its US-based creator, Lyme.

“Fear and Panic makes a very important tweak to the genre: it incentivizes them to do things that terrify them and to act on that fear. If I run any modern horror game,  know what I'm running it in!”
