History TabletopGame / Chill

* CircusOfFear: Module "Isle of the Dead" has the players trying to exorcise a haunted amusement park.

The game is a little more optimistic than others in its genre, as the players belonging to an organization that actively hunts down the supernatural might suggest. The odds are certainly stacked in the monsters' favor (it wouldn't be too scary otherwise), but careful investigation can unearth their AchillesHeel and allow the players to halt a great supernatural danger.

* TheDarkArts: Known as "the Evil Way", meant to be an evil counterpart to "the Art" available to players. Really more of a catch-all to the various supernatural powers monsters can have, though, than a set of special skills that such characters learn.

* {{Dracula}}: Appears in, obviously, the Victorian-era adventure "Vengeance of Dracula", the mini adventure "Castle of Dracula", and got top billing in the sourcebook all about different strains of vampire.

* HarderThanHard: The "Creature Feature" rule supplement had a part that talked about S.A.V.E. having trouble staying out of the red and its agents dying a lot more often than in the past, if the GM wanted to make things even tougher for the players (and to be clear, this is already a hard game to win).

* VillainProtagonist: There were supplements with rules in both editions for playing monsters and fighting S.A.V.E.

* SilverBullet: Carried by most characters and effective against common werewolves. Useless against the big ones, known as the Loup-du-mal.

''Chill'' was a somewhat lesser-known horror [=RPG=], originally published in 1984 by Pacesetter, then released to a second edition in 1991 by Mayfair Games.

* EvilOldFolks: One of the monsters detailed in a compilation book was the "Mean Old Neighbor Lady", a monster who looks like an old lady and kidnaps neighborhood children (but is clearly a monster by dint of her supernatural powers).

* RockMeAsmodeus: The module "Death On Tour" was about a network of rock stars who are secretly monsters, and use their tours to hunt for prey while going unnoticed.

In ''Chill'' the player characters are sometimes called away from their routine lives to investigate cases by the secret society known as S.A.V.E. ("[[FunWithAcronyms Societas Albae Viae Eternitata]]") [[note]] "The Eternal Society of the White Way" as given by the game. The second edition swaps the A for "argenti/silver". [[/note]]. The organization reaches out to people who survive a harrowing encounter with a paranormal being, then asks such people to investigate on its behalf into incidents involving other supernatural dangers (collectively referred to as "the Unknown"). The most gifted members of S.A.V.E. can even learn to wield the power of "the Art", a nebulous conflation that's a bit magic, a bit PsychicPowers.
