Played this with 6 players last night, was lot of fun!
The concept is very interesting and discovering the Frights were really fulfilling for the Ghosts.
We've tried several suggestions mentioned here in the forum particularly this and this. Still, we have a couple of ideas which we may test out in the future:
- While we understand that this game is GM-less, it'd be interesting to see if there's a Narrator role who can speak and type to fill in the quiet points of the gameplay when the Ghosts are typing.
- We're considering assigning a Ghost to the Investigator so the gameplay/story won't be as jumbled. HOWEVER, a possible problem is that all the players might end up in a single room, removing the tension. We may have to test this out first...
- The Ghosts had some difficulty balancing scaring the Investigators and revealing the bloodline and malign. With that said, it'll be interesting to have options where a game gets to focus on just one or the other.
- The Investigators had trouble figuring out if they were allowed to leave a certain room. While there was a rule where the Investigators must say where they will go next, it might be helpful if there's a quick phrase the Ghost can type or copy-paste to let them know they could leave.
- For a longer game, it would be fascinating to have levels -- where the Investigators are only allowed to explore a certain part of the house. The Investigators "unlock" the rooms after finding out more about the Ghosts' bloodline and malign.
- We tried to do threads instead of channels on Discord -- NOT RECOMMENDED. A possible solution is for the server admin/Ghosts tag everyone in the thread so it'll show up easily.
- Highly recommend the Ghosts to have a collection of spooky media beforehand -- GIFs, photos and videos.
