Discover “The Gothic Game of Romantic Horror”
Ghastly Affair is a true Gothic role-playing game set in the decadent and disastrous age of Marie-Antoinette, Napoleon, and Lord Byron. Immerse yourself in a world of sublime terror and poisonous beauty, where love is intertwined with death. The cruel world of High Society is as perilous as any battlefield, and moldering castles hide monsters both human and supernatural.
The Ghastly Affair Player's Manual contains complete rules for creating and advancing characters, guidelines for everything from flirting at the masquerade ball to fighting werewolves, and extensive historical information to aid role-playing.
The Ghastly Affair Presenter's Manual contains in-depth advice and resources for running Gothic scenarios, descriptions of over 100 adversaries, a chronology of the fevered years from 1765 to 1820, and explanations of genre conventions and how to employ them. Plus, numerous expanded and alternate rules to create the Gothic experience of your wicked heart's desire.
Both books are written and designed by Daniel James Hanley,
with editorial contributions by Wendy Rosalsky.
Illustrated by Stacey Kaelin and Daniel James Hanley.

Note that Ghastly Affair replicates the shocking world of the original Gothic Romances, and is therefore intended for mature readers.
