I had a dream that I was at a zoo in Australia but every time you went into one of their public restrooms there was a staff member who trapped you in there until you could solve a logic puzzle that took 10-20 minutes and when I complained they said it was a covid safety measure

What We Possess

What We Possess: A Ghostly Story Telling Game by Publishing Goblin — Kickstarter

On October 30th, What We Possess is coming to Kickstarter Oct 30th.

This Ghost Story Telling Game is a gm-less experience for 2-7 players. Players are given their method of death, a location they're trapped in, and a gathering of mortal and inanimate vessels in their space. They then take turns setting scenes for the living vessels, creating a story for the space, ultimately trying to uncover the mystery at the center of their story.

As players feel they've uncovered something about the mystery, they gain Clue cards that help them find details in the story, until they ultimately solve the mystery.

Games typically take 1-2 hours, and at the end, players are invited to share what happened to their ghost, and the vessels still in the space.

A meditation on life and death, an improv game, a story telling experience, What We Possess is, as your ghosts will find, what you make of it.

Also tagged in here is the 2nd Edition of ZOETROPE, the time travel card-based role playing game, available as a pledge tier and add-on. If you think What We Possess sounds delightful but maybe a bit too somber, ZOETROPE has all your time travel shenanigans covered!

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.
