The book also adds new spells, rituals and magic items designed to support monster-hunting and supernatural investigations. A new Shadow Token system, which tempts players with power in exchange for narrative risk. An expanded Dread system, building on existing mechanics with campaign-specific consequences. Generators and tables for ghost stories, curses, diseases, hazards and hauntings. 3 fully detailed “Dread villains,” each with unique mechanics, lairs, minions and story hooks
