With summer behind us and the weather closing in, that can mean but one thing: spooky season is coming, bitches. I'm all for breaking out sweaters and jumping on the pumpkin spice hype train, so now's the time I start thinking about creepy board games that'll get me in the Halloween mood. This week's culprit? D&D Horrified.
I know, I know – the tabletop RPG probably isn't the first thing you think of when someone says "spooky." But flip through the Monster Manual or run a Curse of Strahd session and you'll soon realize that Dungeons & Dragons can be incredibly unsettling if it wants to. Horror really is in the eye(s) of the Beholder, because have you seen those things? Gross. Anyway, the latest entry in the Horrified franchise (which gives some of the best board games a run for their money in terms of accessible co-op strategy) draws inspiration from D&D, so it seemed like a good way to kick off the Halloween season.
