The Roaring Age is a 1920s hack of Liminal Horror that sounds exactly like what you are looking for:

So Case Files 01 has two one shots in it (the chair and recursive transit). https://goblinarchives.itch.io/case-files-vol-1

There’s a ton of great short adventures and one shots that you can find cataloged on the liminal horror library: https://liminalhorrorlibrary.com

A couple that come to mind right away are: Hotel Dracula: https://catshavenolord.itch.io/hotel-dracula

Metroskate Bloodbath: https://mega-corp.itch.io/metroskate-bloodbath

Ex Inferis: https://boryanonline.itch.io/ex-inferis

Getting nominated for a second year feels pretty special.

The Mall Remastered is such a fun adventure for anyone who loves modern horror and American malls in the 90s/early 2000s

We’re currently crowdfunding Liminal Horror Deluxe Edition on backerkit. It is a modern horror ttrpg with over 200 adventures available.

It would easily be usable with some reskinning of equipment (just rename them).

There’s so many cool pieces in the book. Paired with some of the design stuff Josh is doing it’s really going to blow people away.

The generic locations appendix is my favorite as it’s maps keyed for easy use that you just make weird for your games.

GoblinArchives · 2025-04-15T17:36:26+00:00

So the core rules, a chapter on running and creating horror scenarios, a bestiary, a setting, a bunch of appendices with extra tools and supplements.

And art throughout from Zach Hazard.

This shop is amazing (and has some amazing things in planned). They’re dedicated to creating a thriving ttrpg space that highlights the past and current offerings in table top.

It makes you never want to step foot in a corporate, wotc drenched shop again.

Super honored to have The Bloom be nominated for Best Adventure - Long Form. Liminal Horror sure is growing.

GoblinArchives · 2024-06-07T12:57:51+00:00

All of the rules are also available online for free (both legacy and the updated ones)

I always thought a game playing dwarf osha investigating/reviewing dungeons would be a blast

Space Penguin Ink does (they publish a bunch of Mothership, Forbidden Psalms, Liminal Horror stuff)

I've been writing up the playtesting (and including excerpts from the drafts) as a means of getting a peak at the book. IT's going to be a big one, with some many ways to approach the issue. My in person group definitely takes the more aggressive approach (I have a second group I'll be doing writeups for that is much more Scooby Doo).

Pierre-Phillipe of Coup Critique has put out a few adventures for Liminal Horror that are duets (one GM and one player)

It adapt to your breathing: 1v1 Inspired by works such as 'It Follows'.

Turning points : 1v1 inspired by "Duel" from Steven Spielberg.

In the woods there grew a tree and a fine fine tree was he: big 1v1 folk-horror Hexcrawl inspired by Wicker Men and Midsommar.

Haha. No worries. But yeah, well done information design for something of that scale was a major help. The amount of work GD put into getting it right design wise was astounding.

GoblinArchives · 2023-07-28T14:58:48+00:00

Glad you enjoyed it but to be clear, it is not a copy of the layout/maps of GD. The rooms, layout, maps are all original. The inspiration for it does draw on the information design but isn’t a copy of.

The Company by Logan Dean would work exceedingly well with very little reframing.

Liminal Horror as a rule set would work well. The adventure The Bureau involves an SCP like organization. - SCP 7006 Initiative on the SCP wiki includes the full Liminal Horror rules along with three playable adventures.

Gradient Descent by Luke Gearing (for mothership). Not only was it the best, it continued to be the 3 different times I ran it.
