Dance of the Damned: A storytelling game of Decadence and Despair
A GMless storytelling game based on The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe¸ designed to play in a session of around one hour. It uses standard deck of playing cards¸ and each player tries to force cards from their hand onto the other players. The characters are trapped together in a castle¸ engaging in wine and vice to mask the fear and paranoia they are feeling. The suits of the cards guides how scenes play out¸ and these scenes build the story of the castle. There is no official winner of the game¸ but victory could be implied if one of the players manages to steer the events to a fate they wanted. - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H.
