Eerie Stories Of The Unnatural And Paranormal

Rulebook by RPS Publishing

Eerie Stories of the Unnatural and Paranormal is a lo-fi horror game about the terror stories we hear in our day-to-day lives.

The game framework presented in Eerie Stories consists of a series of procedures and rules that will allow you to adapt, play, and experience various horror stories. Within its pages, you will find a new, fresh, and different gameplay scheme compared to classic horror games.

Ideal for fans of:

• The Blair Witch Project, REC, and V/H/S
• The found footage horror genre
• Analog horror web series
• Japanese indie horror games (such as The Convenience Store – 夜勤事件)
• Internet paranormal videos
• Urban legends

Keypoints:

• No Stats, Only Consequences: Focus on what matters most: the game’s narrative. Uses a full set of polyhedral dice, with a special emphasis on the d4 to resolve problems.
• Needle of Fate: Introduces an innovative dice-tower building mechanic. Build to reveal the truth, and face the consequences when the tower falls. Gain clues if the tower reaches high enough.
• Only One Protagonist: All players portray a single character. Because when the darkness stares right at you, you are always completely alone.
• Synchronicity: A push-your-luck and mysticism mechanic that can either improve or worsen your scenes. Nothing in this life is a coincidence.
• Self-Contained Scenes: Focus on peak-tension moments and paranormal encounters. You will never have access to the whole truth behind the mystery.
• Alternative Endings: Each story can end in one of four different ways. Discover which outcome you reached based on your playstyle.
• Based on True Events: Create your own stories. Draw inspiration from urban legends, creepypastas, and paranormal encounters.
• Cooperative Storytelling: All players contribute, create, and tell the unsettling tales of Eerie Stories.
• Immersive Experience: Print your pentagram board and build the dice tower upon it. Close your eyes, focus, roll the dice, and sync with the real world. The mechanics and procedures are crafted to deliver a deeply immersive experience.
