Best Leave Them Ghosts Alone
The funeral of a childhood friend prompts a bittersweet reunion in a small east Tennessee town for a group of friends. The scars of a strange supernatural experience twenty years ago still run deep, and some debts incurred that day are about to come due.
This is a modified version of the published “Best Leave Them Ghost Alone” one-shot designed to be run at conventions.
One-Page RPGs
A Weekend at Camp Oostanaula (Be Prepared)
It’s a lovely fall weekend in the 1990’s, and you are a pack of teenagers headed to a small scout camp in east Tennessee. But beware, for horror lurks out here in the wilderness.
Using Grant Howitt’s free one-page RPG Be Prepared, you’ll play a character, an NPC, and get to take control of how the story unfolds.
