Strange Places [Free]

Strange Places [Free]:

A mystery set in a small, eerie village in the form of a two player print-and-play RPG, designed to be played through the mail/post. No GM needed.

*****************

Our games got a really kind shout out from the team at Dicebreaker in a recent episode of their podcast. Give it a listen here around 24:08.

******************


Strange Places has two players using regular playing cards as prompts as they write and send correspondences as journalists for a paranormal investigative magazine, keeping each other updated on their respective progress as they explore the unknown. However they do not draw their own prompts. Instead, with each letter players send, they'll enclose a playing card to inspire their partner's reply. Together, they'll write stories, chase leads, and unearth the supernatural mysteries of very strange places.

Designed specifically to be played through the mail, American players will be able to support the United States Postal Services and help the threatened institution stay funded in the lead up to November's presidential election. 

Players elsewhere, can play to support their own local mail/post office, a vital service for all communities.

Download includes a two-sided 8 1/2x11 trifold guide to play the game (once printed fold in a Z shape). Both you and your partner will need a copy of the rules (no need to purchase twice, just send the pdf to the other player), a six sided die, a deck of regular playing cards, paper, postage, and envelopes.
