![]() ![]() I highly recommend Dread if you want a casual session or have friends that are hesitant with playing roleplaying games. These resulting story or event from these Dread games would come up in our next campaign meetup and shape how our main characters interacted and investigated the world. Using Dread is especially good when you want to portray quick, tense situations like in a horror, heist or survival game. We have used Dread to further flesh out our WOD Seattle world by bringing in fodder characters -characters we wouldn’t mind potentially killing off because of a failed Jenga pull. When you pull blocks is up to the DM and the result (whether the tower falls, doesn’t fall or you have a close call) is role-played out between characters. Your character’s fate could be death, insanity, cowardice, imprisonment, possession, or some other horrible fate.” If you knock over the tower during your turn, your character is removed from the game, never to return. Tension builds as the tower becomes more and more precarious. “When a character attempts a task beyond their capabilities, the tower determines their success–they can succeed by pulling a block, or choose to fail by not pulling. The author of Dread, Epidiah Ravachol , explains it best: If you know how Jenga works then you are pretty much ready to play a roleplaying game with Dread. Pulling Jenga blocks represents your character facing a challenge or scary situation where death or another horrible fate is on the line. So every 2-3 sessions we take a break from the normal campaign and bring out Jenga to use in a single-session storytelling with completely new characters using rules from Dread: a casual roleplaying game that uses Jenga instead of dice to determine the fate of your character. Coralling 5 people who have multiple characters in a city with notable supernatural signs to investigate is tiring work. This group is delving deeper and deeper into the paranormal underground while also trying to keep their recent TV deal. This group has a YouTube Channel “Under the Emerald City” which recently discovered that monsters, ghosts and plenty of unexplained creepy things exist in our world. This campaign has a rotating cast of characters who are part of a supernatural investigation group. ![]() ![]() Luke is our current DM for our World of Darkness campaign set in Seattle. Once the physics challenge was met, could digital games successfully incorporate enhancements to make the play experience different, yet as satisfying to play as the original JENGA® game? Could digital game developers program complex physics into a satisfying entertainment product? Could software successfully replicate physical motion of blocks, all of which, potentially, would fall at the same time? There were several basic challenges that waited for successful resolution: Arctic cold or blast furnace hot environments, hurricanes or earthquakes impacting the tower were but a few. In addition to changing block materials, the exciting possibilities also included environmental factors, and numerous play enhancements. They were among the first mid-1990s concepts for a computer-based JENGA® game. Would you like to play the JENGA® game with blocks made of ice? Stones? Butter? These materials could be possible with a digital game.
