An exclusive first look at 13 Omens, Paizo's rules-light horror game

Paizo previewed 13 Omens, a new rules-light horror tabletop RPG built for fast setup and one-shot play.

Unlike Pathfinder and Starfinder, it focuses on simple character creation, shared dice, and rising tension.

Players start as ordinary modern people and face supernatural threats across 13 scenario-based stories.

The game adds dangerous Omen dice as the story unfolds, making risk and suspense central to play.

Paizo is using 13 Omens to expand beyond its tactical flagship games and reach more accessible horror RPG fans.
