Hello Friends,
Here's a preview of the October Haunted Spot Art, and also of a new short game called The Ghost Game:
It's a complete one-shot game system that's inspired by abandoned places and found footage films, and it is designed to be as scary as possible for the people who are playing it. I guess it is sort of a lyric game? But not one of the cute ones.
What I'm hoping to do is copy the way a found footage movie works, which is by setting up a situation that acknowledges you are watching a movie, so that there's one less layer between you & the things you are seeing and its easier to pretend that it's real. The Ghost Game has a layer of game being run by a GM, but also a second game being run by one of the players (do these things if you want to see a ghost) so that all the layers run into eachother and you can get scared just like when you were ten & saying bloody mary to a mirror.
If anyone is brave enough to play on halloween let me know how it went!
Happy Halloween,
Amanda
