Ghost Transmission

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

• Card drawing — Players shuffle a deck of cards and draw them to find corresponding prompts or events within the scenarios.
• Dice Rolling — A D6 is used for character creation elements, and 2d6 are rolled at the end of the game to determine the outcome of the mystery, modified by the number of clues discovered.
• journaling — The game is a pure journaling game where players respond to prompts and keep track of clues and character stats in a notebook.
• Resource Management — Players need to keep track of 'instability' (sanity) and a 'time limit', which can trigger the end of the game if certain thresholds are reached.
• scenario-based play — The game comes with three distinct scenarios, each with custom prompts and a specific paranormal mystery theme.
