A Roleplaying Game of Personal Horror and Mystery From the introduction: Locus is a tabletop roleplaying system with a focus on personal horror, one which explores themes of guilt, morality, and mystery. Our aim in creating this game was to explore the nature of fear, tension, and stress, and to give Players the means to experience those emotions through their Characters. This game is designed to facilitate the experience of overcoming and combatting that fear in order to survive. One member of the group will take on the role of the Director — our term for ‘game master’ — and the rest become the Players, or the Cast. We recommend that Locus be played with anywhere between two and eight people. We have found that a group size of four or five works best.
