We’re in Danger is a tabletop roleplaying game that pits a group of would-be survivors against life-threatening Dangers. Danger is an all-purpose term used to describe the deadly villains and obstacles players must overcome. The game takes inspiration from a variety of sources, and aims to create fun, flexible, cinematic experiences across a variety of genres.
- Want a slasher game in the vein of Halloween, Dead by Daylight, or even Jaws? Use Danger to represent Michael Myers, the Trapper and his bear traps, or even a giant shark.
- Want an apocalyptic game like The Walking Dead or Fallout? Use Danger to represent zombie hordes, radioactive mutants, and violent human factions.
- Want a slow-burn supernatural horror game like Amnesia or The Witch? Use Danger to represent demonic possession, malicious ghosts, and scheming cultists.
- Want sci-fi and action in your horror game, like Event Horizon or The Thing? Use Danger to represent the extra-dimensional denizens of hell or amorphous, shapeshifting aliens.
- Want a disaster game without the horror, like Twister or Dante’s Peak? Use Danger to represent environmental threats like tornadoes, volcanoes, and planet-killing asteroids.
We’re In Danger is scenario-based and focuses on high intensity one-shots using a custom d6 dice pool system. Think of a scenario as a movie, a short story, an arc of your favorite comic, or a video game. A scenario is self-contained and centers on the plight of characters whose odds of survival are bleak.
However, like any successful movie or video game, sequels are always an option. If you want a longer campaign, you might play a franchise. In a franchise, you run multiple, linked scenarios that include surviving characters and deadlier variations of the same Danger.
