Playing The Bogeyman

Intense, pushy, thrilling and going a bit too far. The

Bogeyman thrives for horror and danger, never quite
satisfied with the scares they do get. They are an
adrenaline junky or horror movie fan that goes further
and further every time, regardless of the consequences.

The Bogeyman’s stat lines both show off an attraction

to danger and the bizarre, Volatile and Dark. They differ
in whether you find pleasure in physical danger, or
whether you like a more creepy, atmospheric mood.

The Bogeyman likes to freak people out. Stalker in the

Night can lead into Fear-Eater can lead into A Scary Kind
of Sexy. When forcing other characters to Keep Their Cool,
it’s up to them what they’re scared of, but up to you and
the MC what the consequences for failure will be.

Deeper Than Before turns The Abyss into someplace you

can physically visit. Work with the MC to determine
what it looks like when you step into it, and ask
questions; if you show up in someone else’s visions, are
you in danger from their version of The Abyss? Or are
you just an intangible ghost, there to watch but not
interfere?

The Bogeyman
You’re always looking for the next fright, the next danger, the next thing to
push you on this wild ride called life. Horror movies or walking down dark
alleyways... doesn’t matter. Who cares if the things you like are considered
‘scary,’ or ‘dangerous,’ or ‘could get someone killed?’
You’ll have the time of your life, no matter what happens. The creepy and
weird is your ocean, and you’re the shark who can’t stop smiling.

Your Backstory
Someone gives you chills - the
bad kind - when you look at
them. Give them a String on you.
You whispered to someone from
the dark. Take a String on them.
Darkest Self
People thought you were creepy
and dangerous before... just they
wait and see. Give them a reason
to really be scared. Fear isn’t
enough, it’s time for blood and
knives and hunting. Everyone is
victim or fellow hunter, and
there are no in-betweens. You
escape your Darkest Self once
something comes along that
scares even you, or someone you
thought was a victim messes you
up.

Bogeyman Moves
You get Fear Eater, and choose one
more:
● Fear-Eater
When you’re trying to frighten
someone, you can spend a String
to force them to Keep Their Cool. If
they’re a side character or roll a 7-
9, they pick one:
✦ I freeze up, giving you a
moment to act.
✦ I panic and flee.
✦ I scream in shock. Give me a
Condition.
❍ A Scary Kind of Sexy
When you show someone how
freaky and dangerous it really is
to be around you, roll to Turn
Them On with Volatile.
❍ Stalker In the Night
You can see in the dark and make
no sound unless you want to.
When someone is in the dark, any
harm they inflict on you is
reduced by 1, and you can give
away that you’re there use Fear
Eater without spending a String
on them.
❍ That’s Why They’re
Monsters
When someone tells you what
scares them, you both mark
experience and you take a String
on them.
❍ Not a Wuss, Are You?
When you ask someone to go
somewhere obviously dangerous
with you, give them a Condition if
they refuse, and mark experience
if they accept.
❍ Deeper Than Before
When you want to go into The
Abyss itself, Gaze Into the Abyss.
On a 10 up, when you look away,
you will be in The Abyss; you can
traipse around in it or even show
up in other people’s visions. On a
7-9, pick 1.

as you arrive.
✦ Something follows you out of
the Abyss.

next time you see someone.
