[Interest Check] I had an idea for a Weird short run game about a group of kids trapped in a spooky haunted house that is slowly stealing parts of them trying to escape before they fade away completely. Think 7th Guest meets Mystery Incorporated meets Betrayal at the House on the Hill. But with kids.
But possibly I'm crazy and no one else would be into that.
...
see you say you're crazy and no one would be into that...
I’m in
I probably am crazy, but it's nice to know there's other people who subscribe to the same brand of crazy.
If I can get around 5-6 people I can even run this as a psl.
Also if anyone has any questions, fire away.
yes, what the hell is a psl?

Private Storyline
Essentially a small closed game on DW
oh hi
Yeah, basically I wanted to run a short and plot heavy horror game that wasn't a murdergame.
More spooky supernatural horror than slasher/gore horror
Basically a bunch of kids wake up in a haunted Edwardian mansion and have to try to figure out how to escape. Some ghosts are hostile and some are helpful but it can be hard to tell which ones to trust.
Some ghosts might ask for 'favors' and give a reward. But every time they make a bad choice or run afoul of the wrong ghost or get caught doing something they shouldn't, there's a price.
Rewards might be clues, new areas of the mansion, an item they had or will have in canon, etc. But when a price is exacted, that means a piece of them is taken away. Anything from a memory to an ability to an emotion or a sense or whatever. Player's choice really.
The point is to figure out how to escape before you lose too much of yourself.
