Weird Stories (Rulebook - Ashcan) / $5.00

Weird Stories (Rulebook - Ashcan) / $5.00: Publisher: Formal Ferret Games

IMPORTANT: This is not the entire game! Buying this product will only get you the rulebook for Weird Stories. If you want the cards, click here.

Weird Stories is a one-shot, zero-prep, dice-less, and GM-less story-editing roleplaying game where players will tell stories similar to the films of David Lynch, novels by Haruki Murakami or Jeff VanderMeer, and the TV series Lost and The Twilight Zone. These stories have many more questions than answers, and remain shrouded in mystery throughout.

You know those books that are creepy thrillers two-thirds of the way through, and then the author turns on the lights and gives names and explanations to everything, and the last third is straight-up action? Nothing against those kinds of stories, but in Weird Stories, the lights never come on, and you never get a full explanation about what happened.

Weird Stories is capable of giving you a cryptic allegory, or a dreamy tale of illogic, or a nightmarish fantasy, or a hilarious fever dream, or straight-up horror. Any of these stories are able to hit us on a subconscious level and stick with us long after playing. 

Let’s get weird.

This is an ashcan version of Weird Stories. The game has already been tested over 100 times in the past few years. Still, elements of the game may change over time from player feedback. The PDF version of the game will always be updated.
