The Family is a GMless, diceless reverse horror rpg (slated for release soon) where players embody the conspiracy of villains at the heart of a horror or thriller movie ranging from The Wicker Man to Society to Hot Fuzz. The perfidious "Protagonist" has arrived on your property, and over a three-act structure players must thwart their intrusions, their investigations, and their eventual attempts to ESCAPE, EXPOSE or EXPUNGE the Family.
