    Lovecraftian Shorts

    Saw this today: Lovecraftian Shorts

    Lovecraftian Shorts RPG is a story telling game for exactly three people. Once you've sat down with two friends and explained how to play, this game is likely to take between twenty and forty minutes to play, making it an ideal "filler" type game. However if you really enjoy the game and let yourselves go, you can easily double that time.

    This game differs from a traditional Role Playing Game in many ways, the most important of which is that it does not have any Games-Master/Keeper/Dungeon-Lord, no single person is in control of the story. Instead all three players take an equal role in creating and describing the story, both the overall plot and the detail in each scene.

    I am not sure about this one but I may pick it up. Seems odd but fun.
    It is an alien frozen in the ice! Whats the harm in a blood sample?

    The game is the equivalent of what the Board-Game crowd would call "a filler". Meaning a short light game to fit in while waiting for the rest of the gang to turn up.

    Light as short without many rules or light as fun/pulpy/silly?

    I was hoping for some beachware. Oh well, do you have a link, or did I miss it?

    Hiya,

    Light - as in not many rules. The rules summary is all on one page.

    I've got my copy already. I'll be playing it with my Miskatonic University Podcast co-hosts soon.

    Thanks FNH!
