Ghastly Affair – Decadent Gothic Horror with Old School Rules

This Halloween, role-play in the frightfully decadent and deliciously terrifying world of Ghastly Affair! Ghastly Affair's Old School-style rules makes it easy to learn and fast to run, but its acclaimed system is designed for a mature experience of true Gothic Horror and Romance. Experience the feverish age of the French Revolution, Napoleonic Wars, and British Regency, when the truth was often more frightening than the darkest fiction. Dance amid opulence at delirious masquerade balls, plunder graves for profit, or rob syphilitic aristocrats on the roadside. Battle the werewolves lurking in High Society, escape the Inquisition, or love The Devil himself. Succumb to the temptations of beautiful witches, survive the strange experiments of Mad Scientists, or save your lover from the clutches of the Fairy Folk. Immerse yourself in a time of splendor and filth, when beauty and abomination dwell side-by-side. Ghastly Affair takes its cues directly from the authentic Gothic sources – authors like Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, John Polidori, Matthew Lewis, Horace Walpole, and Ann Radcliffe. If they wrote it, you can live it. Ghastly Affair Player's Manual In print on Amazon, in PDF on DriveThruRPG. Ghastly Affair Presenter's Manual In print on Amazon, in PDF on DriveThruRPG. ​
