Dread RPG, Why all the hate?

Dread's good fun. A bit dated, but it's a great party trick for teaching to normies.

Have you tried Ten candles yet, anon?

No I have not, thank you so much for mentioning that!

Personally I am lazy and I find it's almost impossible to have a bad game with even the most humble of prep with games like dread or as it appears, ten candles. If you are into Dread my favorite premade is the " corporate retreat " from the rpgknight review

I agree, Meme the RPG is not bad, but not that great

More games need mechanics like this that reinforce the atmosphere.

I agree, no offense but if I am playing a Lovecraft horror, I shouldn't be throwing dice around like a Warhammer ork player

What? I thought /tg/'s consensus on Dread was that it's a good game?

I don't have a problem with Dread but the inclusion of the Jenga tower is a gimmick.
Jenga is already a successful and popular game. Dread rides the coat tails of Jenga's value. So ultimately it's just kinda bullshit.
It is just guided free-form. Which is nothing new.

You can achieve the same tension by drawing from a deck of cards with failures occurring with an ace of spades or any ace or any spade or whatever. In fact that would be a more robust rule set because you could attach plot development to certain cards. Jack of spades indicates betrayal, king of hearts means physically overpowering obstacle, etc.

I don't care for hype and I'm not a big fan of Jenga the game so Dread is pretty flat by my standards.

People will flood in to tell you how wrong you are when they would mostly stay silent if they agreed with you. Eventually, one anon will agree with your position and everyone starts screaming at each other.

I was refencencing reddit with my post, there is always someone in the comments who is bitching, and I wanted to see if that sentiment carried over here.
