Bad "yo mama" jokes are the scariest, for example..

.. Yo mama so fat that when she's out walking stormy nights it looks like massive shapes are moving just behind the clouds

or

.. Yo mama so ugly that when she looks in a mirror her reflection freaks out and commits suicide.

Last campaign I was in we had a session where everyone was rolling great in combat, and poor in everything else. DM had us roll perception, and no one rolled more than 11. He smirked, and we continued through the mansion we were investigating. Soon more perception checks. All fails. Soon every door we opened we all rolled, and we were failing them all. DM started looking nervous. Combat ended so fast because we didn't roll under a 15, but these perception checks were starting to make us worried. Finally I rolled a 19. DM hands me a note.
>>Nothing seems out of the ordinary. Can you look scared though?

I just stared at the note and glanced up at the DM. Who nodded solemnly. Players are bugging out and finally the party decides to bail, and burn the mansion down behind us.

DM And I laugh for hours after.

So, /tg/, I had an idea while I was working today that I thought would be pretty cool as a setting, and I wanted to get your opinion on it, since it featured mainly you guys.

Alright, the gist of it goes that one day, every D&D book with any depiction of certain species of monster, Demon, or Undead all blacken and char, as though burnt. This leads to a great tragedy, as even PDF's, and many of the sites hosting them, have been affected. Then we find out the culprit; magic. More specifically, it's kind of a curse of information. These creatures actually existed, and do exist, and we were getting inspiration of them from across the barriers of time and space. And as they enter our world, depictions of them that are so precise as to even include their weaknesses, burn.

Specifically, I was originally thinking that it would just be Demons and Devils, making the actually seem more legit as something infernal.

Now, about a month later, portals start opening up. All over the damn place. They aren't all the glowing, open gates we know of; some of them are as bizarre as quicksand full of crow's wings spitting up Dry Liches. National Guard, etc. are called in to fight these things; and are butchered.

Because what do Demons have? DR/Cold Iron. And we don't have Cold Iron bullets.

Try to imagine that something strikes an extremely thin and long needle into your eye. The needle explodes, ripping everything inside your skull into pieces and the sharpnel bounce around your whole body.

At this point I was like a bow, standing on my heels and back of the head, mouth open and unable to scream.

Then comes the mellow warmth. It just gradually continues into your body, starting from the eye. It was fucking soothing feeling, like being melted from the inside out.

The sharpnels continued to bounce around. I just started smiling. Couldn't laugh.

>Eleventh night. The stain has snaked its way to reach the fist lamp. It has grown up the wall and reached the bulb, coloring the light it gives red
>Thirteenth night, the walls are leaking, the floor is wet with some sticky substance.
>Fifteenth night, half of the bulbs are now red. You could swear you see movement in the walls under the red glare. You hear screaming behind you when you run through the corridor
>Eighteenth night, you see distinct movement bubbling out of the walls when you run past, too terrified of the dark and cacophony of screaming that follows you to stop
>Nineteenth night. There are arms growing out of the walls of the circular room.
>Twentieth night. The arms are growing all over the corridor. They grasp at you as you flee through the corridors, barely making it into the circular rooms
>Three weeks have passed. You run, out of breath arms grasping at you, the floor slippery with blood. Behind you the darkness is catching up. You hear a pop behind you and grab hold of the doors handle just as the darkness closes in on you

>The door is locked.

Things to do to your party when playing with Horror in your RPG game

Subtly alter details of rooms, NPC characters, the map. Nothing major like suddenly there being a fireplace in the small room they just left, but little details. Spot/Perception/Noticin' Shit checks every time they enter or leave a room.

Have some areas in the creepy underground basement/dungeon/cellar/whatever be completely immune to light. Just flat out unable to be lit up, works best in settings with magic but can be adapted to settings with high tech.

Things you shouldn't do.
- Immediately split the party up, let them wander around together for a bit or split up on their own.
- Man Door Hand Hook Car Door or the like. Creepy scratchy sounds where it makes no sense purely for the sake of, "horror".
- Screaming, loud banging, or light flickering in real life unless you've got outside help is just stupid. Even then, it's only good for a quick, cheap jump from the party and a lot of annoyance.

Bump for creepy.

Thinking about using http://www.ichorfalls.com as a campaign setting some time. It's full of good stuff. Personal favorite is the following:

Plot summary

This short story tells of a Tibetan lamasery whose monks seek to list all of the Names of God, since they believe the Universe was created in order to note all the names of God and once this naming is completed, God will bring the Universe to an end. Three centuries ago, the monks created an alphabet in which they calculated they could encode all the possible names of God, numbering about 9,000,000,000 ("nine billion") and each having no more than nine characters. Writing the names out by hand, as they had been doing, even after eliminating various nonsense combinations, would take another 15,000 years; the monks wish to use modern technology in order to finish this task more quickly.
They rent a computer capable of printing all the possible permutations, and they hire two Westerners to install and program the machine. The computer operators are skeptical but play along. After three months, as the job nears completion, they fear that the monks will blame the computer, and by extension its operators, when nothing happens. The Westerners delay the operation of the computer so that it will complete its final print run just after their scheduled departure. After their successful departure on ponies, they pause on the mountain path on their way back to the airfield, where a plane is waiting to take them back to civilization. Under a clear starlit night sky they estimate that it must be just about the time that the monks are pasting the final printed names into their holy books. Then they notice that "overhead, without any fuss, the stars were going out."

Dark Heresy has some really creepy stuff.


Last night I dreamt of the tower again. I stood on its pinnacle and I felt the wind on my face. I watched the darkness spreading as the storm rose. My face was turned to the oncoming storm and I could not look away. The world shook and the stars were lost as the lightning struck. I saw in that flash that the world was turned into a pale thing over which clammy shapes crawled, their eyes lidless and black, but they cried out with the voices I knew.
The world grew darker with every peal of thunder. As always, I first saw him in the distance- a far away silhouette of a man unmoving, cut out of the sky, made bright by the lightning flash. The thunderclaps came faster, like measured and monstrous steps, and with every flash of lightning the still man was nearer. With the pace of a beating heart he drew closer and I could see his eyes. They were dark and filled with stars stolen from the sky.
Each night I wake later and he is nearer to me then when I woke on the previous night. Last night he advanced to the foot of the tower.
