Summary
WARNING: SPOILERS! Get ready for the RPGBOT.Podcast’s spookiest, creepiest, most definitely-not-cursed episode yet! This time, the hosts bravely enter “The Darkest House” – the TTRPG from Monte Cook Games where the house itself is not just a building, but an actively vengeful character who’s probably plotting against you while you’re folding laundry. They dive deep into the game’s doom mechanics, which will make you question all your life choices, and explore why Philip Harlock’s relationship with a haunted house might be just a little too intense.
Spoiler: there’s doom, tension, and a mysterious, probably evil, house in desperate need of a good therapist. They also reveal the game’s secret to ultimate horror: it’s not about jump scares—it’s the creeping psychological dread of realizing your character’s personal arc is falling apart faster than IKEA furniture. Plus, they cover how you can drag this existential nightmare into your other campaigns! Because, clearly, nothing says “fun Friday night” like being emotionally terrorized by a building with personality issues.
Tune in, if you dare. Or, you know, if you’re just looking for DIY home renovation tips… of the haunted variety.
