Haunted Faith: Weaponizing Uncertainty in D&D Horror

You don’t need new rules to make D&D terrifying.
You only need to weaponize uncertainty—to let the familiar crumble.

Horror at the table isn’t about losing hit points; it’s about losing faith.

It comes from wondering if anyone still listens when you call their name.
