A Year Zero Engine RPG by Just Insert Imagination
Face the dead. Unravel the mystery. Beware what follows you home.
Step into the shadows where the living and the dead collide. Specters is a tabletop role-playing game of haunted places, restless spirits, and those brave, or foolish, enough to face them. Players take on the roles of investigators, mediums, and ghost hunters as they explore cursed homes, forgotten asylums, abandoned hotels, and other places where the veil between worlds is dangerously thin.
Do you want to play as a group of investigators or content creators investigating haunted places? Looking to prove your theory on ghosts is correct? Or do you want to make them hurt like they hurt you? This is where you can make that happen
The game employs the Year Zero Engine, a fast-paced, narrative-driven system designed to heighten tension and keep the spotlight on chilling encounters and tough choices. Every session is a descent into mystery, with mechanics that emphasize atmosphere, escalating danger, and the weight of what lingers after death. Whether your group wants a one-shot of spine-tingling horror or a longer campaign unraveling layers of supernatural intrigue, Specters adapts to the story you want to tell.
Inside you’ll find rules for creating haunted locations, generating spectral threats, and equipping your characters with the tools they need (and the courage they don’t). You’ll also discover guidance for running terrifying sessions, plus adventures that drop you straight into the action. Gather your candles, steel your nerves, and remember: some doors should never be opened…
