Fear & Dread
Fear & Dread describes a simple mechanic for implementing the sort of atmospheric terror that might arise from exploring weird places or encountering monstrous creatures. The procedure is system-agnostic and should be compatible with almost all OSR-type games and easily converted to work with anything else.
