Our Haunt
 |
We are ghosts. We are in a house we don't recognize. We have a handful of memories¸ and these memories are brief moments and flashes of barely something. The Living are nearby¸ and they encroach on our space¸ making their demands. Worse¸ there is a Thing in the Walls. It is ancient¸ inhuman. Hungry¸ yearning. Angry.
But this is Our Haunt now. This is our home¸ and we only have each other as family. If we take care of each other¸ good things will happen. We just know it.

Our Haunt is a tabletop RPG about a family of ghosts built on the Belonging Outside Belonging system¸ inspired by games like Dream Askew/Dream Apart ¸ Wanderhome ¸ and Balikbayan: Returning Home . It's a rules-light engine with no dice and no masters¸ focused around tokens and community play.
In Our Haunt¸ we will play as one of the following playbooks:
The Loved¸ who remains in this world hoping to find their lost love - or at least¸ honor their memory. The Betrayed¸ murdered by violent means¸ trapped as a ghost until they get revenge. The Faceless¸ who died so long ago they can barely remember their true form. The Returned¸ who has seen the worlds beyond death and is here to spread the word. The Doll¸ trapped inside the body of a doll and unable to express their true self. The Cat¸ or the ghost of a cat¸ wandering these halls among these strange humans.
Once we've made our characters¸ we'll develop the haunted house we live in before exploring the strange and creepy world that exists around us. Our Haunt is perfect for oneshot or campaign play¸ with sessions lasting between 2-4 hours. While we play¸ we'll discover memories of our past¸ tussle with the living¸ dodge the ancient monstrosities that lurk beyond the veil¸ and support each other in a strange and liminal half-world.
This is the second edition of Our Haunt¸ and the first edition was released on Itch in April 2019. The core system it is built on¸ and the game itself¸ have both been playtested extensively before the final release.
