Manual for the Dead
Manual For The Dead is a role-playing game where players take control of small groups of newly dead spirits trying to evict their living hosts in haunted homes, with the help of case workers (also known as animators), friends/playtesters and six sided dice. Players must be careful not to let knowledge they have gained from previous lives get them into trouble or lead them astray because every afterlife is different for each manifestation based on personal experiences during their lifetime. The game takes place in a haunted house where the newly dead spirits play, with Case Workers (also known as animators), friends/playtesters and six-sided dice helping to drive out living hosts who have settled into new homes or haunts after death has occurred. This can be done through various methods such as using door knockers to gain access inside waiting areas for appointments with the case worker, practicing their manifestation abilities in a haunted house simulator game while playing five second rule cards together on an imaginary tabletop at night-time gatherings where they meet up regularly like hanging out in coffee shops or living rooms during evenings. The rules and objectives of Manual For Dead are to learn about the afterlife by exploring different scenarios that can be unlocked through various methods such as using door knockers,
