Congratulations to Cubicle 7 as this means the dark Warhammer 40K RPG Imperium Maledictum is both the top selling sci-fi and horror RPG. That seems like a fair call; Warhammer 40K is certainly horror at times and always sci-fi, and who here is surprised that sci-fi outsells horror?
In second place is Delta Green: God’s Teeth by Arc Dream Publishing. This adventure has a content warning.
In early 2001, a few Agents of Delta Green face an evil too cruel to ignore. They can never turn back from what they see or what they must do to stop it. A night of death leaves them scarred forever. But even as one terror fades, another awakens.
The Agents find themselves beset by a power more frightful than Delta Green itself, a force beyond that hungers for unnatural death. A force that hunts horrors like a cat stalking prey. A force that has made the Agents the instruments of its ceaseless devourings.
Written by Caleb Stokes and illustrated by Dennis Detwiller, God’s Teeth has a perfect 5/5 score after two dozen ratings on DriveThruRPG. It was only published in October.
