Bump in the Night, A Role Playing Game of Paranormal Investigation

[cantdrawatall]

Have you guys heard about this game? I played in one of it's betas over the summer and had a very fun time. The creator has put it up on Kickstarter to get money to publish it, so you can see it here. Bump in the Night (http://kck.st/1lZbCAQ)

It is like Supernatural and Paranormal Activity had a role play baby. You play with the other's in a research team tracking down the weird and trying to forward your agenda (Our group were trying to become rich and famous off of it) Different members have different abilities as you try to learn about the ghost or demon or whatever and stop it from doing bad things. I had tons of fun.

Also if you have any questions about it, I can answer from a player perspective.

This would be better-suited in this forum (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=60) or as a post in this thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=254357). :smallsmile:

That said, could you explain a bit about how characters' abilities work? You mentioned them briefly, but not much about them. Are they combat abilities, clue-finding abilities, or what?

What would a typical character sheet look like?

The game primarily focuses on finding clues, investigations, and interacting with the paranormal. There are 6 main character roles each with a few archetypes. It uses a dice system primarily based around 3d6 rolls.

Mostly you are rolling skills modified by abilities called perks based on your character role. For instance, you could be playing a Shepard, can be a faith wielding exorcist (at least I was). I might need to roll a check on my occult about a demon possessing a team member, but due to my Shepard Perk, I get a bonus to the role and learn just what kind of chant I need for the exorcism.
