What is Liminal Horror?
LIMINAL HORROR is an adaptable survival-horror roleplaying game about normal characters and their struggles against the things that go bump in the night. The game focuses on surviving the weird and investigating horrors while blending simple, old-school inspired rules with modern, narrative first principles. Survival is not guaranteed and those that do make it through the night are often forever changed.
Since its original release in 2021, Liminal Horror has sold over 1000 physical copies and been downloaded digitally over 120k times with 5 official modules for the Liminal Horror line. It has been translated into multiple languages (Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, French, Polish, Chinese) and has a robust third party community (over 220 items created including 124 adventures and 22 items in print), all collected on a digital catalog of Liminal Horror products: https://liminalhorrorlibrary.com/.
What is the Deluxe Edition?
This is explicitly not a 2nd edition of Liminal Horror. The core rules are fully compatible with all previously released zines (rules and adventures). We are keeping Liminal Horror Investigators in print as it acts as an easy player reference and contains the basic tools a Facilitator needs to run an LH adventure. The Deluxe Edition is enhanced, adding additional content while still keeping the original text relevant and usable.
The Deluxe Edition adds a robust toolkit for Facilitators, and includes over 200 pages of optional rules, settings, monsters, lore, starter adventures, and Facilitator advice. It is everything you need to run any sub-genre of modern horror at your table. The biggest draw being an all new design, hardcover flourishes, and art throughout by Zach Hazard Vaupen.
Our major goals in creating a Deluxe Edition is backwards compatibility (which is why it is not a 2nd edition and instead an enhancement), usability for all types of players and facilitators (regardless of your experience running horror, old school style games, or running TTRPGs), and adding more content (both official and generative) for people running Liminal Horror.
