Help, looking for a game system and can't remember its name

I'm trying to find a horror game that was published... probably about 10 years ago or in that area.

The game is set in a dark contemporary setting where the veil between what people see and the horrific world is thinning. The human mind is normally incapable of perceiving the true reality of the world and has created our perceived reality.

The reality, however, is that we live in a world spanning mega city that encompasses the entirety of the world and is filled with horrific beings.

The world was created by a Demiurge, as well.

Please please please help me find this game!

Still one of my all time favorite horror games. I personally prefer the 1st English edition, however, the third edition gets the best reviews. I never bothered with the 2nd edition.

Probably the third edition. I had 1st edition and it MIGHT be somewhere in storage. I think I saw it a few yeas back lol

do they have a PDF yet? That would be ideal.

The 'feel' of the game 1st vs 3rd edition is very different. There was a significant change in the combat mechanics and a move towards magic being more 'common' to the players.

I'll have a look in my collection, but I seem to remember I might have 3 copies of 3rd edition - one for collecting, one for play, and I think I got another in a stack of RPG's I picked up at a sale. If I do have a third copy and your not worried about the condition (i.e. not mint) I'll let you know. Personally I prefer 1st edition.

Yes I'm a loopy RPG collector...

Sorry. I have two copies of both 1st and 3rd edition only. I may be able to get you a copy of 1st, but I believe you said you already had one. Keep looking for the 3rd edition, they come up at reasonable prices now and then on the eBay from sellers who are kinder than the ones on Amazon.

Luck,

mmm the "feel" of the 1st edition is what I liked so much about it. I do NOT like that magic is made more common and accessible to humans. This was such a great book for creating amazing horror filled adventures.

It seems to me that one of the hard parts of writing a real horror fantasy adventure is that the PCs have access to supernatural magics to begin with, so the supernatural is just common and nothing to worry about.

I think I might just have to buckle down and hit the storage room and dig through and find that 1st edition book I had... If I don't come out in a few days... well... a cleric with resurrection would be nice :)

Good luck - I'm with you about 1st ed. and the reasons I like it better are very similar to yours.
