I will be the guest of an upcoming Q&A on RANDOM WORLDS chat (hosted at The Hardboiled GMshoe’s Office) March 19th, 2019, from 7:30 PM CST (8:30 EST) to 9:30 PM CST (10:30 EST). If you’d like to know more about Ghastly Affair, or what I’ve got planned for the future, join the conversation at https://tinyurl.com/randomworlds-chat . If you miss the chat, the log will be posted at https://gmshoe.wordpress.com/ afterward.
The PDFs of the Ghastly Affair Player’s Manual, the Ghastly Affair Presenter’s Manual, A Ghastly Potpourri, and Highdark Hall, are all currently marked down for DriveThruRPG’s GM’s Day Sale. Hurry, because the sale ends Monday, March 11th.
Ghastly Affair was recently discussed in Episode 14 of the “For the Gothic Heroine” podcast, which focused on Gothic gaming. I suggest checking out the other episodes as well!
Currently I’m working on a set of “Ghastly Affair Location Catalogues” – form-fillable PDFs that will guide you through the process of creating a massive Grand House using the tables from “A Ghastly Companion to Castle, Mansions & Estates”, while simultaneously creating an organized document that can be easily referenced during game-play. I hope to have those out very soon.
If you would like to see a group that’s already experimenting with the possibilities of GROOVY Ghastly Affair, I refer you to the Play@YSDC boards, where Victoria Silverwolf and her Players are running a Play-by-Post game of Ghastly Affair set in Los Angeles during the Swinging Sixties.
Victoria has also adapted Highdark Hall as the current setting for her main Ghastly Affair game. If you’d like to see an example of how to incorporate the mysterious home of the Altumber family into your game, check it out.
That’s the news for today. You can now return to brooding in a cold and shadowy chamber of your moldering family castle, haunted by the memory of a sin for which you can never be forgiven. Or, you could just browse some other blogs. Whichever.
