Talk:House of Hell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have completed this book having only accumulated 6 Fear points. Under no circumstances is this sufficient to frighten you to death, therefore the inability to complete info is inaccurate. sebzeppelin 14:13, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

The article states that House of Hell is the only book to use Fear points. This may be true, but from memory Beneath Nightmare Castle uses Sanity points (I don't have a copy on hand, feel free to correct me) and this seems like a very similar mechanic. If this can be confirmed the statement in the article should be altered to reflect this. Euchrid 11:31, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Correction: Beneath Nightmare Castle uses Willpower points, but functionally they're the same thing, except that they go down with each encounter rather than up. Euchrid 06:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I've never seen Beneath Nightmare Castle, but I clearly remember another book in the series (although not its name, unfortunately) in which the protagonist loses if all the walls of a particular keep are breached (certain paragraphs informed the reader when a wall gets breached). This is a similar mechanic and I have amended the statement accordingly.--sebzeppelin 22:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
