A Ghost Story for Christmas Sale

Happy Christmas from Gethsemane Games,




There is an old tradition at this time of year that we here at Gethsemane Games like to keep, perhaps above any other. Often attributed to Mr Charles Dickens, the tradition of telling ghost stories at Christmas is far older than that and pre-dates both his storey 'A Christmas Carol' and the reign of Queen Victoria. Nor is it even a uniquely British tradition, although we tend to carry it on even today and the BBC proudly keep the tradition going by broadcasting a range of adaptations of the stories of M R James, Dickens and a host of other writers. In America the magnificent Washington Irving is said to have been quite the enthusiast for the tradition as evidenced by his storey 'Old Christmas' which can be found in “The Sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent” first published in 1819”.

With that in mind, we would like to celebrate the practice of telling ghost stories at Christmas with a little tradition of our own, our 'Ghost Storey at Christmas' sale. From now until January 6th our Haunts and Horrors line and a selection of our GMs maps which seem particularly pertinent to creating haunting scenarios of Gothic horror will be available for only $1 each!

That includes the Haunts and Horrors RPG rules, the scenario's 'Blood Money', 'The Curse of Amun Menetnashte', 'The Ahriman Tablets' and the acclaimed 'Suffer Little Children' as well as a selection of mansions, haunted houses, stately homes and other suitable places for your tales of terror taken from our GM's maps range.
From Gethsemane Games, have a very happy, Christmas!
