Liminal Horror is a 2023 survival horror tabletop role-playing game by Goblin Archives and Josh Domanski, with art direction by Zach Hazard Vaupen.[1] The player characters are investigators.[2] Liminal Horror's module The Bloom was nominated for the 2024 ENNIE Awards for "Best Adventure – Long Form."[3][4]

Gameplay

[edit]

Character creation is based on archetypes that grant starting equipment. Characters have three base statistics: strength, dexterity, and control. A gamemaster system called the "Voidcrawl Procedure" randomizes how to reveal mystery clues to the players.[3]

Reception

[edit]

The Bloom module was nominated for the 2024 ENNIE Awards for "Best Adventure – Long Form."[3][4] Aaron Boehm for Bloody Disgusting wrote that "Liminal Horror as a system is a great combination of old-school dungeon crawling mechanics with modern story-focused sensibilities".[3]
