Show Notes

To tide us over til our next one-shot, here's a bonus episode where our host and GM Fiona interviews Charlie Menzies, the lead designer behind \u2018SHIVER\u2019 - the award-winning 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? \u2018SHIVER\u2019 lets you play that!

Published by Parable Games, \u2018SHIVER\u2019 uses symbolic dice to keep players engaged 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.

Parable Games\u2019 latest funding campaign, \u2018SHIVER: Double Feature\u2019, brings two new expansions to the core game. In SHIVER BLOCKBUSTER - players can be movie stars and play your favourite big screen hits such as Jurassic Park or Honey I Shrunk The Kids whilst in SHIVER SLASHER players must try to survive the night in their own horror movies inspired by cult classics like Friday 13th or Halloween!

\u2018SHIVER: Double Feature\u2019 is set to go live on Oct 11th on gamefound so be sure to check it out and support it.
