H. P. Lovecraft Preparatory Academy

Players take the roles of students at a haunted New England boarding school, investigating conspiracies, confronting bullies and uncaring professors, exploring dangerous steam tunnels, and escaping supernatural creatures. The game combines mystery-solving with a semi-humorous horror tone inspired by Saturday morning cartoons. Characters choose from student types such as witches, summoners, and mad scientists, then resolve tasks by rolling 2d6 and adding a skill modifier. The campus provides a sandbox setting with customizable faculty and optional rules. Characters cannot die because of medical advances at the school infirmary, but their sanity remains at risk.
