Passing Notes

An asynchronous collaborative journaling GM-less TTRPG centered on chronicling the twists and turns of mysterious local happenings in a notebook. You play as characters passing around a notebook in which you take turns journaling about a strange conflict embroiling your area until you reach a resolution or run out of time.

Designed for playing younger characters (kid or teenaged) existing in a school or school-like setting (such as a quintessential summer camp). Best suited for paranormal mysteries with fantasy, magic realism, or horror undertones.

Inspired by the Ologies book series, The Raven Boys, and the teenaged experience.

Basic Requirements:

One notebook
Multi-colored writing utensils
Standard deck of cards (with jokers)
Other journaling supplies (optional)
Cardstock (optional)

Content Notes: This game has the potential to broach dark themes ranging from real world horrors to the paranormal. Please take care to discuss boundaries with your play group.

48 pages. Full color collage illustrations. Comes with 4 character sheet bookmarks.
