Investigating The Horror Of The Chill Role-Playing Game

I do like a good horror game, and Chill has always been a good horror game. I have played the first edition from Pacesetter Games and the second edition put out by Mayfair Games. Either edition was an interesting alternative to the other horror games of those times, like Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu or White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade. Much like with Call of Cthulhu, Chill has always been more human-centric. You don't play the monsters, you play the people who fight the monsters.
