Miskatonic High

[robotnik2004]

So I downloaded the RPG InSpectres. Genre-wise it's basically a Ghostbusters rip off (and cheerfully up front about that) but in terms of game mechanics it's one of your cutting-edge indie "narrativist" games, which is geek speak for "the players get to make up the story too." It looks like, with the right players, it would be a hell of a lot of fun. What I'm really itching to do is to use it to run something in the whole Buffy / Smallville photogenic superteens versus eldritch horrors genre. I'd call it Miskatonic High. The shared narrative mechanic would be perfect for both the fast-paced monster-of-the-week bashing and the requisite WB-teen-soap subplots.

... Says the GM who retroactively buried some kind of accursed Tomb of Doom under our covenant just because someone botched his Sacred Chickens roll.

I always listen to the sacred chickens.
