Two decades ago, a mysterious accident lead to dozens of deaths at St. Comba’s Academy, and it was shut down soon afterwards. They say the derelict building is haunted by the ghosts of the students who died. Amateur ghost hunters are drawn to the school like moths towards a flame, and some were never heard from again.

A Spooky Pamphlet TTRPG

Hauntings at St. Comba’s Academy is a haunted school investigation for 1+ amateur ghost hunters and a master of ceremonies. It uses an expanded version of 2D4 & Explore and draws inspirations from ghost movies and video games such as Phasmophobia & Corpse Party.

The ghost hunters' goals are to record ghost sightings, appease any malevolent spirits and to get out of the school alive.

Originally created as part of a collaboration to Broken Sky ARG.

You will find a 4-page PDF in the download. The first two pages form the pamphlet; page 1 has the core rules and page 2 has MC-facing information including a guide on running the game, a map of the school and example ghosts. The latter two pages are supplements; play examples and a stripped down scenario for a quick session.

There is also an interactive fiction version of the game.
