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.

7 Lead Player Aid
This player aid is for new owner of the game and who would like to "lead" the game more. As the original rule book is not clear enough to illusrate the scenario we have during the game. This aid combined some key answers from the FAQ and Forum. If you are new to Ghost Stories and would like to play with freids also new to it, I highly recommend having a demo run using this play aid alone first. It can help you not to be blamed while playing with friends :)

6 List of ghosts and powers
This is a full list of the ghosts, their resistances, and all their left/middle/right stone powers for the base game. I made this for running the PBEM games, but it might be useful for others who are trying to min/max the game or run their own PBEM games. I do ask that you please DO NOT use this to make your own copy and not buy Ghost Stories, because it's an amazing game and the people involved deserve your money for making something so awesome.
