How exactly do you run a horror game without accidentally delving

Ask her what she thinks and if she isn't cool with it scrap the idea. Either way give her the option of leaving the room during the most grotesque moments

>>55342104
the answer should be obvious as fuck.
if you are worried about things like that, you talk to your players beforehand.
we can't tell you what your buddies are okay with, but they can. very easily.

If it isn't weird to, talk to that person one-on-one about how they feel about child abuse in games. A lot of people are basically OK with personal traumatic event in fiction as long as they're earned, so that might solve it.

If it would be weird to do that, it's gonna be real uncomfortable in game.

It's not going to be gruesome or anything, I personally despise violence and think that it's the low-hanging fruit of horror games (next to jump scares).

No, what I'm more worreid about is triggering some flash back to when they lived with their parents and having that ruin their night accidentally.

The thing is, if I talk to them about it, then not only are they spoiled on the nature of the session but they're also put on edge because they're expecting to be triggered.

Like, I've been in situations where I was totally okay with a scenario occurring, until someone told me something and I ended up getting upset, and then it turned out to be nothing like how I imagined it being and I ended up getting upset over literally nothing.

Come on guys, stop giving rational grown-up answers. OP wants you to spaz out about snowflakes pretending to have PTSD.

He never said the player's gender.

>How exactly do you run a horror game without accidentally delving into subjects that one/some/all of your players do not wish to delve into?
Literally just fuck your feelings. Friends don't have to handle each other with mittens on, not if they're good friends.

nibba what is your angle?

Here is what you do. Talk to you players and ask them to secretly send you a message or just jot down on paper anything that might trigger underlying mental issues. Say they don't have to go into any detail, or explain themselves. If they write something down, nix it with no questions.

Just be honest about how, in a horror game, you don't want to reveal anything but you care about the players and don't want to fuck them over.

Wrong snowflakes.

As long as the abuse stays supernatural in nature. I doubt your friend will be bothered by it.

>hi /tg/ how do I run a horror game
...is one of the most common thread starts.

Well yeah. Inject horror into your players directly. That is how you run a horror game. Tentacle mostners from outer space doesn't do it. But real actual dread, now that is something else.

So OP if you really want to run a horror game, then horrify your players.

If she can't take it then go play D&D or something
