Description Edit | History

Ghost Stories is a cooperative game in which the players try to defeat the spirit of Wu-Feng, the lord of hell, and his legions of ghosts before they haunt a town and recover the ashes that will allow him to return to life. Each Player represents a taoist monk ghost hunter who is working together with the others to fight off waves of spirits and other beings mostly inspired by eastern mythology.

22 Ghost Stories Unofficial FAQ (revised) v1.1
After contacting both pdclose and toinito and received approval for this project, I have gone through pdclose's unofficial FAQ and standardized formatting, grammar, and punctuation. In some cases I have replaced pronouns or other references with formal terms such as the titles of villages. The structure remains exactly as pdclose made it, and the content remains toinito's. The only expansion of toinito's original language is in the response to the last question before the section on Ghosts (page 6). Here, I added "or Yin-Yang Token" to reflect the clearly stated option to un-haunt a tile in that manner. Taking my lead from pdclose, I am donating all GeekGold associated with this file to toinito.

9 Corner clips
Here are the templates for the corner clips, as requested. A word of friendly warning, though. Don't do it, unless you are absolutely sure you want to. Take a few minutes. Sit down with your X-acto/utility knife in front of you. Watch each other. Relax until you begin to hear the sweet lulling song of the blade... OK, it's time to take your medication, and call your handler. If the rest of you are still comfortable with the idea of cutting their player board, then let's do it. Be careful, though. I don't want people to throw stuff at me on the street, because they ruined their game. Be aware, that I always have two ripe tomatoes with me to defend myself... Good luck.
