I’ve heard folks say the best horror is simple. While some may disagree with that assertion, films like William Prince’s CLICK certainly make a strong argument. This short film runs fourteen minutes and some change and is achingly spartan in its design, concept, and plot. It presents not only a beautiful-in-its-simplicity horror story but a fantastic premise for a Little Fears session. Imagine your group as the kids who investigate the aftermath of this film. I would love to play in that game. Absolutely wonderful.

If you have fifteen minutes to spare, you can watch the entire film below. It’s well worth your time.

As some of you may know, I’m a big fan of adventure games. While visiting AdventureGamers.com earlier (a site for which I also write), I was reminded of the game rain, due out this year exclusively for the PlayStation 3.

In rain, you play as a boy trying to catch up to a girl who is being chased my monsters. During your pursuit, you stumble into the monsters’ path, and have to avoid them as well.

Also, you are invisible. As is the girl. As are the monsters. You only see others as you are seen: in the steadily falling rain. Going under cover allows you invisibility and gets the monsters off your tail. For now.

Upon watching the trailer below, I immediately thought of Little Fears, specifically the World in Between from Among the Missing. The fiction in rain could easily be something that happens when a child slips through the cracks of our world.

I’m going to be keeping an eye on this game, and urge Little Fears to do so as well. No release date for rain beyond this year but I have a feeling this will be worth it no matter the wait.

If you’re looking to add to your Little Fears Nightmare Edition collection, the PDF versions of Book 2: Among the Missing and all the Campfire Tales are on sale for the next 18 hours!

Check out the Drunken Goblin page over at DriveThruRPG to grab the deals!

Small update but there it is. I’ll post more info as I can!

You can pop into the chat via this link. I hope to see you there!

(Whew, did I get some facts wrong in that other GM’s Day update. I’ve since corrected it.)

The sale only lasts the week so be sure to grab them at the discounted price while you can!

I don’t think it’s much of a spoiler to say that children are involved in the story as well as what seems to be a heavy supernatural element. I got a strong Slenderman: The Eight Pages vibe from what I’ve seen and read but I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

You can keep tabs on the game via the developer’s website or their current page under Steam Greenlight. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on it. You can check out the official trailer below.

Thank you all for your patience!
