Grand Guignol Roleplaying Game Book

Enter the fog-shrouded streets of late-Victorian London in a Gothic roleplaying game about monstrosity, queerness and community. Cruel institutions and powerful figures dominate the city, while those forced to its margins seek acceptance, intimacy and solidarity.

Each player selects a Gothic archetype such as the haunted Gate, scandalous Patron or unconventional Scholar. Together, the group creates its own version of London, revealing hidden enclaves, exploring the lives of its residents and confronting the dark forces moving through the city.

Grand Guignol uses the Belonging Outside Belonging system. Its diceless, Game Master-free rules allow players to share responsibility for the characters, setting and developing story across a single session or a longer campaign.
