House Rules

Summary & Story Details

This game is currently in progress! The party is currently in Act Two, and things are getting... strange.

This is a paranormal/cosmic horror game, so there are recurring horror themes throughout. The pages dedicated to this game go into detail about unsavory topics of all sorts, so be warned!

House Rules is a horror TTRPG in the Call of Cthulhu system. I ran this years ago and never got to finish it, so I'm taking it from the top with a new party, now set in 2024! If you're one of my players reading this, go no further! There are potential spoilers in the read more link below!!

In this House, we follow the Rules... Paranormal investigating has never been so popular. There are dozens of channels boasting ghostly content, but this group's YouTube channel is on its way to being number one. You just need one big case, something no one else has managed to cover. Our investigators found the answer in a town called Evermore Rest located in Upstate New York. There's a house that's locally (in)famous for its spectacular, nigh-unbelievable, and reportedly deadly haunting. Creatively, the locals just call it The House. No one's covered this place despite the evidence around it, because no one can get in... until now. A broken window spotted by one of your group offers a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cover a place that's the stuff of legends. Will you capture enough evidence to give your channel the boost it needs? Or will the mysterious hunger lurking in The House claim new victims...?

Current Status: Game in progress! We play every other Friday via Discord.

Lore

House Rules takes place in the summer of 2024, around late July. The House was built in the 1920s in a town called Evermore Rest in Upstate New York. The town is west of the Finger Lakes. It's passed through several hands, but the current owners are unknown. The most recent family who lived in the House moved out in the early 1990s. There have been rumors about hauntings and strange goings-on at the House for decades now. Intrepid teens sometimes dare each other to go inside, and students at the local college have been known to throw parties at the House. Many report that weird things have happened, fights broke out, and people got hurt or came out changed.
