Stories from the Grave

Intro

Stories from the Grave is a roleplaying game that faithfully emulates anthology-style horror comics, TV shows and movies. It is powered by the Intention System, the same rule set that powers Retrostar, though it has been extensively altered so that it accommodates the play style necessary to bring the source material to dripping, oozing, gore-soaked un-life.

• SftG is built around making it possible to play out several short stories in a single setting, with each one feeling exactly like the kinds of tales spun in the comics, shows and films of the genre.

• The game is powered by a heavily modified version of the Intention System (the ruleset used for Retrostar). It’s simple, narrative and encourages players to have plenty of control over how the story progresses.

• The system is fast and easy to learn. In fact, the actual rules take up just over 12 pages.

• Character creation is a very simple matter that takes 15 minutes or less.

• Players are rewarded more for making the story more entertaining than for "staying alive". As anyone who is familiar with the source material can tell you, many of these stories focused on truly reprehensible people who ultimately get their just comeuppance.

• Players can acquire help from a communal pool of Grave Tokens that can be snatched up and used to lend a hand... but not without a price. After all, one of the main themes of anthology-style horror is that you can never get something for nothing.

• The Grave Keeper has plenty of tools at their disposal as well, including Story Frames that can be used as the foundation for virtually any tale imaginable. Every effort has been made to keep it easy to set up and run games of Stories from the Grave.

• You’ll find details for all the most common Story Frames, including “Careful What You Wish For”, “Consequences”, “Hapless” and more.

• The rulebook contains a full-blown sample installment (aka adventure) to get you started with.

• An exhaustive 8-page “example of play” covering the entirety of an installment will help players and Grave Keepers to better grasp the finer points of the rules.

• Evocative illustrations from C. Michael Hall, Bradley K. McDevitt, Nolan Segrest and art taken directly from “public domain” horror comics of the 1940s and ‘50s.

The website won't let me post a review so I'll post it here:

A fantastic simulation of my favorite genre. Art style is fantastic, language, tone and system are all on point to support (b.i.t.e) sized (not sure why I got censored) and self contained horror stories.

The system is light and easy to learn in a single reading. Cost is low enough that i didn't have a reason not to buy it. Style is horror with camp and humor mixed in. I really liked the casting system in character creation. Makes for both the GM (GK) and the players having hands in character creation. Making NPCs is a snap. Grave Tokens are an awesome way to visually ratchet the tension while having mechanical ways to make the story more dangerous for the player. Your player could lose their life or mind in a single roll (just not in the first act.)

I'm actually designing a horror anthology podcast and was looking for a game system when someone recommended this to me. Looks like I found it.

Thanks...See more

Does this game include the rules to create and play kid or teen characters?

Is this RPG good for 2 or 3 people? Also is it easy for beginners to learn?

It works best for one Grave Keeper and one or two players, though larger groups can be accommodated.

The game system is easy for beginners to learn, but it will help if at least one person (likely the Grace Keeper) has some experience.

Livres Scannés
Ces livres électroniques ont été créés physiquement en scannant les originaux et en utilisant les images obtenues pour faire les pages pdf. Chaque page est passée par un programme de reconnaissance optique ces caractères (OCR) afin d'essayer de déchiffrer le texte imprimé. Le résultat de ce procédé OCR est situé de manière invisible derrière l'image de chaque page scannée, pour permettre d'utiliser des recherches de texte. Cependant, un texte dans un livre donné sur un fond graphique ou avec des fontes manuelles ne sera probablement pas reconnu par le programme OCR, et ne sera donc pas pris en compte dans les recherches. Aussi certains livres imposants peuvent être redimensionnés pour correspondre au système, et peuvent ne pas avoir cette fonctionnalité de recherche de texte. La plupart des livres les plus vieux et en rupture d'impression sont dans le format images scannées.
