Beskrivelse

Lewis entered an online lottery and became the owner of a Grand Old Money pit in the country. Lewis’ wife Petra did not sue for divorce – after some deep soul searching and the need to try to save face with family. Together they have done the impossible and are one step away from re opening Oatley Hall as a country hotel.

This is not going to be straightforward.

They have to convince the representative of the local tourist board that they have done enough to qualify for re-registration with the local authority.

They have to convince the representative of a prestigious Tour Company that they are good enough to become a regular overnight stop on the trips organised through the area.

There is a very irate American claiming the Hall has been acquired illegally.

…And there are previous occupants who have opinions on who can and cannot invade their home.

Ghosts is a light-hearted game for 14 players inspired by the popular TV series Ghosts. Players will play either a ghost or a living human. Gendering of characters will be the players’ choice. The ghosts will originate from different periods in history but in-depth historical knowledge is not needed. Other living humans are based in the present day. Costuming is at the discretion of the players, but does help to add to the enjoyment of the game. Lewis can see and converse with the Ghosts but the other living humans cannot see or hear them.

There will be some moments of angst, there will be secrets to reveal, there will be ways and means to influence the outcome and the future of Oatley Hall, but above all, hopefully, there will be laughs.

Players are encouraged to watch some episodes of the BBC TV series to get a feel for the setting of the game and players are advised that the ghosts will have the morality and social understanding of their own periods of history, combined with whatever they think they understand about the world as it is today.
