Discover Grimtales, the thrilling one-page tabletop role-playing game that takes you on a ghostly adventure like no other! You and your fellow party members awaken as spirits, trapped between life and the Great Beyond. With only one night to finish your unfinished business, the race is on to cross back into the spirit realm before sunrise, or risk being stranded in the mortal realm for the next 1000 years!

Grimtales features a D12 mechanic, immersing you in a haunting world where you must balance between Weird and Malevolent. With each action, the Grim Reaper (GM) determines your path, influencing your character's progression as they grapple with their otherworldly existence.

Choose your ghost type and harness your spectral abilities! Will you become a Possession Ghost, able to control living creatures? Or a Memory Ghost, capable of making the living relive past events? With 12 distinct ghost types, you'll experience diverse and intriguing characters on this supernatural journey.

The Grim Reaper (GM) will present you with a range of themed tasks, customizing your adventure to your character's backstory. From unresolved love to avenging a wrong, each task brings you closer to completing your Unfinished Business and crossing over to the Great Beyond. Your Spookiness Rating, ranging from Barely Noticeable to Absolutely Terrifying, will also determine how the living world perceives and reacts to your ghostly presence.

Grimtales is perfect for 1 GM and 1+ players, with a max cap of 6, making it the ultimate one-page TTRPG experience for an unforgettable night of ghostly escapades. Immerse yourself in this eerie world where every haunting tale unfolds, and take on the challenge to complete your unfinished business before time runs out. Will you succeed, or will you be forever bound to the mortal realm? Dive into Grimtales and find out!
