I like RQ, Pacesetter’s Star Ace and Time Master, and TORG. The pleasure I get from D&D is a function of the DM, and I tend not to opt for “horror” RPGs the same way I don’t read books by Steven King.

But I’m not going to try and stop other people playing “horror” genre RPGs just as I would never consider trying to stop people reading horror stories or watching horror films. That sort of censorship is plain wrong!
