Mystery Teens is now a Tabletop RPG

Confession time. I’ve realised I don’t actually like games: only equipment lists, character sheets and maps. I’m forced to endure games to indulge these sick fetishes. To that end,  I’m making a Tabletop RPG about teenagers solving mysteries.

It’s late, and weird stuff is happening. You and a bunch of your friends sneak out of your cosy, normal homes and go down into the centre of this weird stuff. You flee from it, learn it’s secrets, and eventually defeat it by gaining full understanding of it. Then you drag it into the light, dripping and screaming, and go back home for tea and buns.

A bit like Call of Cthulhu for kids, I suppose. The basic rules and setting are well fleshed out by now; I’m planning to expand it, playtest it enough to polish it up, then release it on the internet (For free; I can’t imagine any way to make money off it). Along with the main rules, I’ll package a campaign setting made out of the map in the post below. Discover the horrifying secrets of Burger Head, Caper Cove, and 4 other whacked-out mystery locations in between cutting class and tripping groovy!

I can’t put a release date on it, but I’ll be releasing status reports and pretty pictures as I go. I’m excited. It feels like the game is afoot.
