			== Five Rings paradigm for horror ==
			ByEmberAndAsh wrote horror scenarios for the TrophyRPG system, and they have a five-room structure specifically for horror. The heroes are never meant to succeed, but if they're lucky they'll survive, and the players have told a good horror story. The heroes pass through five layers, confront the overwhelming horror at the centre, then flee through the rings in reverse order to get out.
			* Ring 1: a mundane obstacle that the heroes can overcome, and entices them to dive in
			* Ring 2: a hostile landscape, to give a sense the world itself is against them
			* Ring 3: a scenario to remind heroes of their own self-centre desires, and reasons to mistrust each other
			* Ring 4: a terrifying creature the heroes can only flee from, they're in over their heads
			* Ring 5: the goal is here, but it can only be grasped by making a great sacrifice (their values, their friends, their survival, ...)

	An idea by JohnnFour (the übernerd that writes for Strolen's), it's a pattern for making a quick [[Dungeon ~~crawl~~\|dungeon delve]]. Five simple steps, and you get enough for at least a session around the kitchen table, maybe two, and the heroes feel like they really earned their experience points.
