Matson
House is an old manor house about four miles outside the city of
Gloucester. The village of Matson lies about half a mile away, once a
quiet little village it has slowly been consumed by the Gloucester
conurbation. The house was built in the late 16th century by the
Selwyn family and a servants wing was added in the early 19th
century. Over the years it has been a family home, billeted the King
and his army in the civil war, acted as a hospital and a school. Most
recently it has stood empty, time has slowly taken its toll on the
old house, but not for much longer. Two groups have put in a bid to
buy the old house, one with the intention of turning it into
executive apartments, the other wanting to turn it into a hotel aimed
specifically at those who wish to stay in a haunted house. Both
groups have hired paranormal investigators, one set are there to
prove there are no ghosts in the house or to lay to rest any they do
find so potential buyers for the apartments can rest assured that
their sleep won't be disturbed. The others want to prove that the
ghosts do exist and to try and get footage that is good enough to say
they have seen a ghost with out it being so good that it looks CGIed
This where most would expect to be thinking about creating a ghost
hunter, however for this game i'm turning it on its head, you aren't
playing the hunters, you are playing the ghosts and have to work out
how best to deal with the hunters. The game will be run using the Stella Games Nightlife System with everyone creating a ghost character, it will then be up to the party to decide how to deal with the ghost hunters. It is intended for the game to last a single session of about 3 to 3 1/2 hours, but if things go slowly it might carry on the following week. If you are interested in joining the game, it is free to play and you are welcome to contact me directly here on Roll20, or on Discord where i'm known as Rinto#8567
