On Halloween Night, The Great Witch’s Thrall turns decorations into Possessed Horrors, Throwing The Night Into Chaos.

But Your Costumes, Once Plastic And False, Become Real, And Powerful.

It’s Up To You To Save Your Town, And Maybe, Earn Some Candy Along The Way! 

Fight or Fright! is a Halloween Trick-or-treating game about magical costumes, possessed decorations, and scoring lots of candy. It’s about that feeling you had as a kid, putting on a costume and so desperately wishing you could be that character. But wishes are powerful, and sometimes you get more than you bargained for. 

In this spooky one-shot game for 4-6 players, including a Master of Candies, players take on the role of trick-or-treaters caught in a magical enchantment that grants you the powers of your costume’s Inspiration. 

  • Choose your type of Trick-Or-Treater, like The Competitor or The Spotlight, that describes who you are under the costume
  • Choose a costume Inspiration, like a Star or a Haunter, that aligns with the character or person you’ve dressed up as

Fight or Fright! Is played using an original shifting dice-pool system, where dice move between the two halves of your character, FIGHT and FRIGHT, or slip into the PLIGHT dicepool. If you stumble along your journey, you might just Lose Yourself to the control of The Great Witch’s Thrall.

Listen to the podcast! Fight or Fright was designed live across the Wait, Roll That Again! podcast.

I followed the podcast with great interest so I'm really glad I can finally get the full game! It looks like a cute little game perfect for a Halloween one-shot.

By the way, did you use a particular template for the page layout? It's simple but really pretty, and I like how the dark pages stand out from the rest!

While scrolling through it, I noticed a few typos:
- on page 8, "role" should be "roll"
- on page 14, "ostume" should be "costume"
- on page 15 "thrall" should be capitalized
- on page 16 and 17, the final sentences of the mixed success and failure texts are missing a period.
- on page 20, I don't think "loose-action" needs a dash.
- on page 22, "Hallowe'en" doesn't need the apostrophe.
- on page 29, "roll's" has a weird upside-down apostrophe (I'm probably the only one bothered by this, lol)

Hey I'm so glad you're a fan of the show! I'm excited to get releasing the second season soon which tells the story of how it got ready for release :) I designed the layout myself, but it was based off the Explorer's Design template you can find over on https://www.explorersdesign.com/

Thanks for letting me know about those typos! I'm collecting the bugs at the moment, and will be releasing a fixed edition closer to Halloween once I've had a chance to really go through it! Really appreciate it though!
