Bored Ghost uses tabletop roleplaying games to create stories. Each week we release half of a tale born out a play. From independently published collaborative storytelling games to traditional Role-Playing Games, we try it all to tell stories. These tales and games are experiments.
"From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free." - Jacques Yves Cousteau
The dead rise like the tides.
To learn more about how The Skeletons is played check out our primer episode.
The characters for this game:Rusted Shirt (Chris Littler) - a humanoid skeleton armored in rusted chain and carrying a bent spear.
Big Head (Tim Rodriguez) - a skeleton with a silver amulet about its neck and a silver circlet about its swollen disproportionate skull.
Headless (Ken Breese) - a humanoid skeleton with no head wielding a pair of holy symbols.
Crawler (John Holt) - a bent humanoid skeleton with a fine coat and a chipped dagger.
The map for this game:The tomb is a pyramid floating tip-down over a deep sea trench. The flat base rides just beneath the waves and a little deeper on the north and south side are air chambers to enter. From each of those chambers a pair of passages twist down towards the tip where sits the crypt. The coffin is suspended by chains from the tip.
