Fear No Evil

Hey so sometimes tabletop games aren't so much tabletop games as they are a cautionary story.

Fear No Evil is a diceless game where you're a demon hunter.

You're tracking your prey, ready for the fight of your life, but demon hunting isn't a business for the faint hearted, and so when you confront the demon: every time you would roll in a normal game, you must instead walk barefoot through a darkened room.

And that darkened room is a normal darkened room, but somebody has thrown a d4 in there.

Fear No Evil is not a game that I recommend people play. Instead, it's kind of about the way core mechanics work.

If you have a game mechanic that people are going to be returning to over and over again, you want it to be fun, interesting, or meaningful to interact with.

With a dice roll, Fear No Evil would be a breezy lightweight system that leans heavily on the GM to supply the setting and atmosphere.

But with its current mechanic, it is a landmine.
