SettingChill is a horror role-playing game inspired by Shelley, Stoker, and Poe, where usual foes are vampires, werewolves, mummies, ghosts, goblins, and ghouls.[3] Players take on the role of envoys,[2] members of a secret organization known as S.A.V.E. that tracks down and eliminates evil in the world. EditionsThe game was originally produced by a company called Pacesetter Ltd.[1] Once Pacesetter ceased operations in 1986, Chill was bought in 1990 by Mayfair Games. At Mayfair, the game was published until 1993, when the executives of the company decided{{fact|date=October 2018}} to no longer publish RPGs and instead focus on board games. The second edition of the game remains available in PDF format.[4] A total of 23 official modules (adventure packs and rules companions) were released by Chill's publishers between 1984 and 1993. Several years ago a third edition was announced by Other World Creations[5] but never was released. At the end of 2012, Mayfair Games Inc. sold all intellectual property rights pertaining to CHILL to a Canadian couple named Martin Caron and Renée Dion. In June 2014, Growling Door Games announced the acquisition of the license to publish a new edition of Chill.[6] The game was released in 2015. Growling Door shut down in January 2019.[7] ChockChill and some modules were translated into Swedish and published under the name Chock (shock) between 1985 and 1987 by Target Games. In 2018, another Swedish Chock game was kickstartered by a publisher called Eloso. This game is inspired by the first edition of Chock. It has otherwise no connections to Chill.[8] ReceptionWilliam A. Barton reviewed Chill in Space Gamer No. 71.[9] Barton commented that "Chill is a viable alternative in supernatural gaming for those who desire less gunplay than is typical in Stalking or prefer more conventional creatures than the sanity-blasting horrors of CoC."[9] Receiving 7 out of 10, the first edition of the game received a mixed review in issue 61 of White Dwarf magazine. The gameplay was felt to be fairly slow and lacking in scares; furthermore, Chill's significance was lessened as Call of Cthulhu had already paved the way for horror-based role-playing games.[10] The third edition received polarized reviews, with both strong praise[11] and strong criticism.[12] Review
