Family traumatized by horror
Twenty years ago something dark happened to you and your family. Something beyond the standard familial misfortune. A supernatural darkness whose ripples have shaped who you are, who you've become, who you pretend not to be. Something that left its stain on your blood and bones.
You were just kids then. Maybe that protected you. Maybe that made it worse. Whatever. Now, it's back.
Runs in the Family is a supernatural horror game in which the players are the grown-up children of a family marked by evil. Now, as adults, they're tasked to confront the darkness they thought they left behind. This will entail investigation into the unknown, dealing with unsavory and unnatural sorts, and possibly a bit of terrified combat. The game is run in GURPS 4th edition and designed for three to five players.
What's the event that seared itself into your psyche? We'll decide that, collectively, along with the details of who and what your family was.
Inspired by Netflix's Haunting of Hill House, IT, Stranger Things, Frailty, Call of Cthulhu, Kult, Chill, Fright Night, Salem's Lot, etc.
