A GM-less tabletop RPG where players take on the roles of ghosts who are haunting a property. Think The Shining, Paranormal Activity, Poltergeist, some of the Scary Movie series or any movie where a group of humans newly enters a haunted property, only to find that they are not welcomed by the presence. The goal in THIS game is to get rid of the humans in the funniest way possible. Be competitive, cooperative, whatever. Just have fun.

A "game poem", or "role-playing poem" is a little game that you can pick up and play in fifteen minutes or so. There's no preparation time, nothing to get between you and immediate fun. Game poems usually address some specific mood or emotion, or focus on one particular theme. First and foremost, a game poem is just there to be taken in and experienced with a friend or group of friends for a few moments, and hopefully, something small and wonderful will happen in the process. |

For a long time, our monstrous home was occupied by invading humans. Now, finally, we’ve driven them off, and we’re left with this: a year of relative peace. One quiet year, with which to dismantle their settlements and reclaim our lands. Come Winter, a band of heroes will arrive and we might not survive the encounter. This is when the game will end. But we don’t know about that yet. |

This is a role-playing game about a home. In this home lives a family, or a succession of families. You’ll draw the home and watch as it changes with the family over the years.
You will need a good-sized sheet of paper to draw on, pencils, and something on which to record characters (index cards are good). A big pile of 10-sided dice is helpful but not necessary. You'll also need to print and cut out the game cards, or transcribe them onto something.

Think the 90s sitcom "Herman’s Head" or the Disney/Pixar film "Inside Out". During the game you’ll establish various dilemmas for this person, explore their internal psyche as it tries to decide how to respond in order to achieve their goals, and observe how the results of that response further affects the person and their psyche. |

The two samurai stared at each other.
Once they were friends. Brothers. But time has come for honor to be regained, and vengeance to be unleashed.
Footing adjusted. Grips tightened. Eyes narrowed.
A single moment and it was over.
