Shiver - La Bibliothèque Maudite

The Cursed Library, a scenario collection for the Shiver role-playing game

The Cursed Library is the first collection of scenarios for the Shiver role-playing game. This anthology pays tribute to the great classics of horror cinema and horror TV series, offering a journey through different eras and subgenres of horror: survival horror, haunted house, horror western, science fiction, and rural slasher.

Ideal for Directors (Game Masters) who want to explore the versatility of the Shiver system without having to create their own plots, this collection offers five independent, ready-to-play adventures, each in a different register.

• The Lost Ship: a research expedition mysteriously disappears in the ice. What is behind the radio silence?
• The Night of All Fears: on Halloween night, a group of young people take on the challenge of entering the most feared house in the neighborhood.
• Sad Mine: in the Old West, troubling disappearances stir up a mountain mine with secrets far older than mere gold deposits.
• Protocol 1: the crew of a spaceship responds to a distress call... and discovers that surviving the encounter is another matter entirely.
• Mister Husk: after a car breakdown at nightfall, looking for help at an isolated farm in the middle of cornfields might not be such a good idea.

To support the Director, the collection offers maps, character suggestions, descriptions to be read aloud, and events for the Doom Clock. Tips and development ideas allow you to customize the adventures, extend the dread, or incorporate these stories into a larger narrative.
