With the release of Horror Adventures, I would like to bring into light the Sanity and Expanded Fear rules. While not on the SRD, I can provide the relevant text upon request. Any chance we could see these rules implemented in the game?

To weigh in as a player, the expanded fear rules are tons better (if more in depth) than the normal ones. The sanity rules were a bit of a headache and something I suspect would be more aimed at consistent home groups, but to each their own. I strongly suspect we won't have any chance at implementing either until they're up on the srd.

I'm guessing that these rules are largely intended for a campaign that has a large focus on horror, where fear of the unknown and unknowable is a strong thematic element.
That is largely not the case for our games. If the fear rules are better I'd take a look at them, but I'm not going to have people rolling sanity checks because they looked at the wall and it started bleeding or something. PF adventurers are considerably hardier than the schmucks you play as in CoC.
In any case, I'll have to wait to see the rules.

I like the expanded fear rules, with the exception that there is no immunity to fear. To use paladin as an example, their immunity to fear always seemed like it was their god telling them, "I am with you, you need not be afraid" and so the paladin isn't afraid. Some random ass monster trumping a god's blessing just doesn't feel right to me, though with DG not having active gods it kind of ruins the concept.
The expanded fear categories are awesome though.

The "no immunity to fear" is optional, to my understanding. The sanity rules are an accruing of sanity points that, once they reach a certain threshold, inflict a madness. I like the idea of it but haven't had the chance to see them in action.

sanity rules are kinda pointless for our setting. all you need to do is spend a few points of influence to get a heal and you're good to go.

I feel more like sanity points don't really fit our style than anything else. When level 20+ adventurers can sunder reality, becoming insane from reading a book for too long seems a little goofy.
