What it is about
d100 Horror Investigators
“Obsession. Guilt. Curiosity. They're all reasons to dig—and just as good a way to die.”
Not everyone runs when the darkness comes. Some chase it.
This d100 table introduces a cast of obsessed detectives, doomed truth-seekers, haunted scientists, rogue agents, amateur sleuths, and fringe researchers—all digging into the unspeakable. Whether they’re witnesses, allies, or collateral damage, these investigators are perfect for horror games steeped in mystery, paranoia, and supernatural dread.
Each entry includes a name and a compelling reason why they're tangled in the web—be it a vanished loved one, a cursed object, or whispers in the morgue.
Use them as NPCs, plot hooks, or even protagonists in your next horror tale.
But be warned: not all who hunt monsters survive the hunt.
Light a candle. Open the file. Make the call. Something is already listening.
