Description
-
Small Town Bad Moon is a solo one-page journaling rpg that uses the Second Guess System. You are a freelance reporter for the local paper, and you think you've uncovered a conspiracy: Some sort of strange cult is forming around the moon. The social hierarchy of the town is a perilous labyrinth, and Mrs. Smythe-Smith wears the crown.
Investigate local happenings, avoid Mrs. Smythe-Smith (the local busybody), and figure out what's going on with the moon, before the Editor in Chief of the paper catches on and you're fired... or worse.
