There's a reason I didn't go into the world lore. It's a weird collection of supernatural strangeness informed by the aesthetics of abandoned buildings, urban decay, and a survey course in philosophy.

It only takes me a couple of days to write up a draft of a game I think is playable. The three games I consider "done" from a design standpoint (Necropolis, Haunted and Raven's Hollow) each only

That is tough. But if I had to pick just one, I'd probably say A Dark and Quiet Place. It's the most unusual and ambitious of the set. Exceptional Fantasy is a close second.
