Are ghosts real? This question has haunted both serious academics and casual speculators for many decades. Many people claim to have encountered a ghost at some point in their lives, but we're not about to take their word for it because that would be unscientific. Therefore, Dr. Susan Loughty has devised a wonderful experiment: anywhere from two to five enterprising characters will enter the House on Walnut Road, long known for its terrifyingly haunted nature, and stay until a final determination can be made on that question of questions. The House On Walnut Road is a two-shot game for 3-6 players based on Lady Susan, P.I., itself an expansion of Good Society by Storybrewers Roleplaying. Instead of Regency-based romantic drama, The House On Walnut Road is oriented toward reproducing pseudodocumentary horror in the vein of BBC's Ghostwatch. You, the Major Characters, will explore the house and develop an understanding of its haunted nature under the direction and perpetual surveillance of Dr. Susan Loughty, played by the Facilitator. Whether you discover the truth, and whether you live or die in the process, is up to you. This work is based on Good Society (found at storybrewersroleplaying.com/good-society/) a product of Storybrewers Roleplaying, developed and authored by Hayley Gordon and Vee Hendro. It is inspired by Thinly Veiled, a Penned to Good Society game by Chloe Sobel. The Medium role found in the playset is borrowed from Thinly Veiled with permission.
