Interest Check: Killer Ratings

Will YOU Survive The Night?
You are the cast and crew for a terrible paranormal investigation show on a third-tier basic cable network. Your show is on the verge of cancellation and you need a BIG RATINGS BUMP to stay on the air or, at least, land a cushy job.

THE GOOD NEWS: You got the rights to shoot your season finale live in what is reportedly "THE MOST HAUNTED LOCATION IN AMERICA."

THE BAD NEWS: This place is actually really haunted, and you may well be fricked.

So get in there. Goose the ratings. Get proof of the haunting on camera. Make great TV by being as hypnotically awful as you can be. And survive the night.

But remember: only you have to survive. Your cast and crew... well. There’s always more people willing to degrade themselves for this level of celebrity.

What Is It?: A one-shot celebrating kitsch TV in all its glory.

Who Are They?: The characters are loud, campy reality TV stars: charismatic enough you root for them to keep on keeping on, but trashy enough you won’t be too sad to see them go.

In short, you play some of the worst people on earth as they walk blithely into one of the worst places on earth.

There are five broad archetypes to fill:
• The Face • The Co-Host • The Academic
• The Camera Person • The Charlatan

How Long Is It?: One whole hour! Well… more like 44 minutes plus commercials. In real terms, not overly long I don’t think: A few months max!

What’s the Deal?: Five points assigned across two stats. Rolling at or under your stat on a d6 to succeed. The Haunt, Show Name and Room Descriptions will all be generated at the table by you!

Who Can Play?: Anyone! Coarse language is to be expected, along with the grisly demise of the very worst amongst you!

This sounds exactly up my alley 😄 I'd love to play in this

Just judging by the archetype names, I'd be interested in either the Co-Host or the Camera Person.

I love everything about this. On first guess, The Charlatan for me!

This sounds AWESOME. I’m a huge fan of shows like Ghost Adventures and this is such a original concept for a game. Please, count me in! Playing the Face would be hilarious, I can just imagine writing, "Did you guys feel that? I just felt a rush of cold air going through my body!"

Oh, this looks very interesting! I'd be happy to join too - and pretty content to play the Academic, or maybe the Camera Person. :D

This does look like a fun and trashy romp. I think I could find a good smarmy character for just about any of the archetypes.

Dammit this sounds awesome! It looks like you have five, but I'd throw my hat in... as an alternate if nothing else.

Looks awesome KCC -- hope everyone has a blast!

Well this is definitely different. If this winds up being public, I'm going to follow along to see how it turns out. Seems like a bloody good time.
