[Van Dread] Horror hack

[northerain]

A few years back I was working on this game called Van Dread which had a simple premise:
If you've played any Call of Cthulhu, someone was bound to go insane at some point. Some recover, but some are irrevocably lost to madness.

Well...what if you make those crazy guys the protagonists of a different game. A game where you don't give a shit about solving mysteries and the only thing that matters is to kill every monster, destroy every book, talisman, and haunted house and try and get out alive.

...and that's Van Dread.

I abandoned the game for a slightly more ''serious'' one, but I always figured I'd go back to it and make something simple with it.
I also want to hack AW. A match made in heaven really.

I already have a few ideas for characters, but moves will be harder.

Start with the threats! At least, that's what I did and it worked out pretty well. It gives you a good sense of the kind of world the PCs will be operating in, and the scope of conflicts. That really helped me design playbooks.
