In this episode of Tabletopped, we journey into the eerie world of Fairy Tale Horror in TTRPGs (Tabletop Role-Playing Games). We answer big questions like:

  • Why should you use fairy tale horror in your game?
  • What are the essential tropes of this genre?
  • Can the Fae actually be terrifying?

    • Join our seasoned panel of GMs—Nick, Franco, Rio, and Shade—as we draw from over 50 years of Game Mastering experience to unpack the unique elements that make fairy tale horror a chilling addition to any campaign.


    Key Topics Discussed:

    • Why fairy tale horror works in TTRPGs
    • Classic tropes of the genre: trickster Fae, dark forests, and cursed wishes
    • Techniques for making Fae creatures genuinely scary
    • How to weave folklore and fairy tales into horror campaigns

      • Whether you're a veteran GM or just starting out, this episode offers valuable insights to enhance your storytelling and elevate your horror games.
