<p>I just discovered this, and it looks like a nice and useful document, so a big "Thanks!" for it ^_^</p>
<p>However, if I were to use Slenderman, I would probably power him down some, and make him a high-level servant of a Big Bad rather than the Big Bad himself (maybe in service to one of the true Lovecraftian Horrors, like Nyaralthotep [sp]).</p>
<p>Also, seeing as he has a 'modern' origin, I would use him in a 'Modern Horror' game, and with both Occult Adventures, Horror Adventures, and soon Starfinder out, that should be easier than ever now.</p>I see I'm piping in on a conversation that's 5 years old now, but.....

It makes me happy knowing that there are still people out there who are interested in my Slender Man monster. <3</p>
<p>Let's see if I can help a little.</p>

<p>I'm not a huge fan of horror and I am terrible at being creepy or whatever, but this is something that my friends find legitimately scary, so I want to run with it. I'll stop rambling now though. Thanks in advance for any advice! </blockquote><p>Horror is hard to do in fantasy games like Pathfinder for several reasons, the biggest one being that the game is set up so the players will win every time. Games like Call of Cthulhu do not disguise the fact that no matter how strong you become, there are things that you will never be able to kill.
<p>Here are some tips that I've used and have seen used to make horror more effective:</p>
<p><b>#1 - Horror is 100% Metagaming.</b> This might sound odd, but playing a horror game is one of the rare circumstances that you are not trying to scare the player's in-game avatar. Nine times out of ten that is not going to create a truly fearful response from your players. Instead, you want to do everything you can to scare the actual people sitting around your target, who will then unwittingly roleplay their characters accordingly. For this, things like mood lightning and music are extremely helpful. It also helps if you can figure out what scares your friends; luckily for you, you already know this.</p>
<p><b>#2 - Spring the Monster When Its Too Late:</b> The kids who are locked in a cabin in the middle of the woods with nowhere to go, the phone line goes dead when the killer is in the house, and similar examples all show that horror works best when you reveal the monster where flight (aka running away) is not a safe option. Make sure things like flying, teleportation, and similar "get out of trouble free" cards do not work. Do not spring this at the last second; it works a LOT better when it is introduced because and then comes back to bite them in the butt when they're scared.</p>
<p>For example, I did an adventure on my 14th level sorcerer where we were exploring a temple to a goddess of shadows. I tried to teleport us there, but the compound had a dimensional anchor effect in place so I couldn't phase us inside. Later, I accidentally angered a purple worm and tried to dimension door away, only to have the spell fizzle when I needed it most, and I instantly remembered why. THAT is horror!</p>
<p><b>#3 - Use Your Player's Knowledge of Slendy:</b> Some might say that the scare is lessened because they know who (or what) the monster is, but I say knowing what something is can make things all the more terrifying. There's a reason that Lovecraft said that when we learn how horrible the universe is, we'll crave for the darkness of ignorance. So play up the themes. Get things started, but also change them up a little. Don't use exactly the same symbols in Slender Man mythos, but use similar ones. Give hints and clues without ever directly saying it. Drop lines that your players will recognize, and whatever you do fight the urge to tell them all right off the bat exactly WHAT the campaign is leading to. Let them think they're in a Hero's Journey flick, only to find out that they're in an Eldritch Abomination Horror show when the monster is upon them.</p>
<p><b>#4 = Death with Consequence:</b> Slender Man gives you a very unique opportunity in that Slender Man appears to like to "play" with his food. Because of this, let the players come to fear Slender Man by showing off how powerful he is. Let him slaughter the players one by one, and then ... have them just wake up somewhere else. Play it off as a dream or something, only to quickly discover that it wasn't a dream. The best way to do this is by letting fallen party members revive without needing expensive spells cast on them, but give them a different kind of consequence. I recommend going through the insanity rules and giving the players incurable, steadily worsening insanity effects.</p>
<p><b>#5 - Give the Monster a Motive:</b> If the monster is tormenting the players for simply no reason, the game isn't very fun. Horror works when there's elements of mystery included in it, and the mystery needs to be the player's salvation. Horror is a dark art, and it works best when you include just enough light to keep your victims rolling onward to the next encounter with the baddie.</p>Aw man, I haven't seen this forum thread in ages!

<p><li> Because of his Plane-Traversing shenanigans and his ability to dramatically alter the fabric of reality (including his own creature type!), the Slenderman is now classified as an Outsider. This changed has brought the Slenderman many pleasing benefits including:
<br />
—-granting him a d10 hit dice, which gave him 30-ish more hit points.
<br />
—-granting him a bucket load of additional skill points, which he promptly spent on Escape Artist and Acrobatics.</p>
<p><li> Slenderman has decided that Impossible Biology was too full of win, so he separated part of its powers into a new Regeneration ability. Not only does Slenderman get more abilities, but now your feeble minds can come all the closer to comprehending his glory. Everyone wins!</p>
<p><li> Slenderman took pity on you lesser beings yet again and removed his ability to gain additional regeneration. Like with Impossible Biology, he was afraid that your feeble minds could not comprehend his glory. To compensate, he's doubled his damage reduction, which is still /-.</p>
<p><li>Slenderman now properly knows how to spell in Aklo. </p>
<p><li>Slenderman has clarified on how, exactly, he returns from death so easily. Although he's little you in to a few of his secrets, he's hoping the end result is all the more terrifying.</p>
<p><li>Impossibly, impossible biology has been clarified. Hooray!</p>Update (Again):
