The Scarecrow
A story roleplaying game about isolation and superstition, set in rural America. Players portray children confronting a local Scarecrow legend whose reality remains uncertain, exploring fear, preconceptions, and the instability of life in a close community. The game uses shared rules for directors and characters, with scenes framed as vignettes, interrogations, interludes, and ensembles. It requires no preparation and supports three or more players, using a poker deck and tokens to track drama points.
