Chill

Chill es un juego de rol que nos hace sentir y vivir las ambientaciones de las peliculas de terror del siglo 20, un juego en donde interpretamos a miembros de la organizacion S.A.V.E. -Societas Argenti Viae Eternitata-, protegiendo a la Humanidad de las criaturas de lo Desconocido; buscando, estudiando y eliminando el Mal en cualquier parte del mundo. Todavia me acuerdo cuando aparecio este juego en la que era mi tienda habitual, ya hace muchos años...

Fue en 1984 cuando un grupo de trabajadores de TSR -entre los que podemos nombrar a Mark Acres, Troy Denning, y Stephen Sullivan- crearon la editorial Pacesetter Ltd. para poder publicar sus juegos de rol: Chill, Timemaster, Star Ace y Sandman. Cuando la editorial ceso sus operaciones, fue la editorial Mayfair Games la que se hizo con los derechos de este juego, hasta que decidio que era mejor mantenerse en el negocio de los juegos de tablero antes que en los juegos de rol.

En 2009, Otherworld Creations intento crear una campaña financiada -un Kickstarter antes de que existiese Kickstarter- para resucitar este juego, pero esta fallo al no conseguirse el dinero necesario para una nueva edicion. Creo que lo unico que aparecio entonces fue un pequeño kit de iniciacion.
Chill no fue el primer juego de rol de terror, ni es el mejor juego dentro de esta tematica, pero si ha sido un juego casi considerado de culto por muchos jugadores. Su ambientacion no esta basada en monstruos cosmicos salidos de la mente de Lovecraft, ni las tipicas novelas o peliculas en donde se cazan monstruos (o se es cazado por el...), no, esta mas bien basada en la ambientacion de las peliculas que han creado la Hammer o la AIP, repleta de vampiros, hombre-lobos, y demas monstruos de serie B, dandole el mismo aire clasico que tienen estas peliculas. No es un juego de terror oscuro, ni serio, es mas bien aventurero...

Curiosamente, su segunda edicion, la de Mayfair, no consigue ese toque clasico, y menos con esas portadas...

Chill, 1st Ed Thutmose's Night It is the hour before dawn, the darkest hour, the hour when the dying most often slip away into that final flight from which there is, for most, no awakening. A soft breeze from the Nile River stirs the curtains, and Thutmose, Pharaoh of all Egypt, restless with pain, tosses fitfully on his bed. "Merritet," he calls weakly, and at once the man, who has been standing all through this long night at his king's bedside, leans close so as not to miss a word, "You called, my lord? I am here as always." Pharaoh's eyes seem distracted now, as though some part of him were watching for something only those close to that other world can see. The jackals of death, perhaps. And how many of the people burdened by this cruelest of Pharaohs might wish those jackals quickly fed? "Merritet? You will not leave me?" the dying man whispers, plucking fretfully at his servant's arm. "You know I will not, my lord," Merritet replies as he secretly touches the vial of poison hidden in his cloak, the vial that will allow him to accompany his king on the journey to the Underworld and one day, perhaps, help him walk again in the land of the living.
