Unfinished Business
A collaborative, story-driven RPG where players experience what happens when a body is buried but the past refuses to die
"The dead do not rest easy when their story is unfinished"
A New Way to Play Together
The Fraying Fabric of Life
In Unfinished Business, you'll weave the tale of a ghost's forgotten story. Your party will pull at spectral threads, piece together whispered fragments, and solve the mystery behind cryptic hauntings before your own minds begin to fray.
Each round, one player becomes the spirit, guiding revelations that twist the pattern ever tighter. Thread by thread, you'll stitch the truth together. Haunt by haunt... you'll feel yourself coming apart.

How This Book Works
Like the games that inspired it, this manual reveals itself in layers:
1. First, we'll create the ghost together—breathing life into death
2. Then, you'll inhabit the living, each carrying secrets that bind you to the deceased
3. Next, we'll teach you the rhythm of haunting—how to be both spirit and flesh
4. Finally, you'll learn to read the echoes and find the truth buried beneath
Each section builds upon the last, like a spiral drawing ever inward toward revelation.
Example Characters
When someone dies, certain kinds of people always seem to appear—drawn by grief, guilt, or the promise of something left behind.
The Estranged Heir
A relative who broke ties with the deceased years ago but returns solely for potential inheritance, dismissing supernatural occurrences as tricks played by rivals. Their danger response instinct is to blame other heirs for strange events rather than acknowledge supernatural possibilities.
Phobia: Katagelophobia (fear of ridicule)
Adversary: The Faithful Servant
The Childhood Confidant
A non-relative who spent formative years at the house and shares deep history with the deceased, often sensing the deceased's lingering presence when others cannot. Their danger response instinct is to address the deceased directly, believing their connection offers protection.
Phobia: Chronophobia (fear of time's passage)
Adversary: The Gold Digger
The Faithful Servant
Long-time household staff member whose loyalty extends beyond death, often serving as intermediary between the deceased's wishes and the living heirs. Their danger response instinct is to protect the house and its secrets, even at personal risk.
Phobia: Neophobia (fear of newcomers)
Adversary: The Estranged Heir
