The word gazebo was used by British architects John and William Halfpenny in their book Rural Architecture in the Chinese Taste (1750). Plate 55 of the book “Elevation of a Chinese Gazebo” shows “a Chinese Tower or Gazebo, situated on a Rock, and raised to a considerable Height, and a Gallery round it to render the Prospect more complete”.
Dread is a short (one session) horror role-playing game. [1] In addition to the book of rules, players also need to have a Jenga tower (not supplied with the game), which takes the place of dice for action resolution. Dread has no fixed setting and can be used in any place or time in which a horror game is appropriate. [2]
