write an ethnography of a haunted graveyard
Cecilia the groundskeeper said the ghosts have been extra cranky ever since that tour of schoolchildren came to visit last week. Parsimony Smit (1667 - 1721) disagrees, stating merely that the coming supermoon is what has all the spirits in a tizzy. Not that he would ever stoop to such behavior himself.
Parsimony Smit ("Death is a debt to nature due that I have paid and so must you") is one of the more respectable members of the deceased community here, according to himself, unlike Archie Jack (1854 - 1881 "Now between / these carved stones / rich treasure lies / dear Jack his bones") who never got over his childish love of pulling pranks. Cecilia said you should be fine, as long as you don't bring anything into the graveyard you don't mind mysteriously winding up in a nearby tree. You're not sure exactly what you've gotten yourself into here.
The Graveyard Game is a solo-journaling game where you travel to a magical haunted graveyard in order to learn more about the community and write an ethnography on them.
Pull cards to ask questions of the residents, roll dice to see how well interactions go, and get to know a host of colorful characters from prankster ghosts, to the cemetery gravedigger, to a local vampire, and a mysterious stranger. Unlock 12 different locations and gain levels in friendship and familiarity with the community as you document more and more in your field notes.
You'll need: A d20, d12, and d8, and a deck of playing cards
The Graveyard Game is a hack of For Truth's Sake by h. moon and is published under the ORC license. It was inspired by The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
