How to Run a Horror Campaign Without a New System

You don't need a new sanity track to run horror. One line that says what the players should fear, then a campaign that keeps pointing at it.

Quest Summary

Bill walks through running horror in the rules you already know: write one fear line, test climb, help, clue, and fight before you draw the map, pick a lane (gothic, folk, cosmic, or bargain), and keep a single clock so the game does not slide back into ordinary heroic play.
