I'm very excited to announce our new guest at StoryAlways: Oli Jeffery. He's a frequent contributor to the Gauntlet Codex and the writer of the bestselling Dungeon World adventure The Foulness That Came to Dunfell Township and the lovecraftesque scenario The Wilder Parts of the Forest. He's now crowdfunding his new game "Quietus".
Quietus is a one shot, prepless RPG of melancholy horror. It's a game for a GM and one or two players, and emulates tragic horror movies like Oculus, The Strangers, The Babadook, Inside and the recent Netflix version of The Haunting of Hill House. If a piece of fiction can make you cry and scream, then it's a great model for the sort of stories that you can tell with Quietus.

We'll talk about his design process, how does Quietus manage to inspire dread and what exactly does "melancholy horror" mean, among other things. Come chat with us live this next Tuesday 11th of June at 9pm GMT+1. Please SHARE this and I hope to see you there!
