Weird Stories (Cards - Ashcan)

IMPORTANT: This is not the entire game! Buying this product will only get you the cards for Weird Stories. If you want the rulebook, click here.

Weird Stories is a one-shot, zero-prep, dice-less, and GM-less story-editing roleplaying game where players will tell stories similar to the films of David Lynch, novels by Haruki Murakami or Jeff VanderMeer, and the TV series Lost and The Twilight Zone. These stories have many more questions than answers, and remain shrouded in mystery throughout.

You know those books that are creepy thrillers two-thirds of the way through, and then the author turns on the lights and gives names and explanations to everything, and the last third is straight-up action? Nothing against those kinds of stories, but in Weird Stories, the lights never come on, and you never get a full explanation about what happened.

Weird Stories is capable of giving you a cryptic allegory, or a dreamy tale of illogic, or a nightmarish fantasy, or a hilarious fever dream, or straight-up horror. Any of these stories are able to hit us on a subconscious level and stick with us long after playing. 

Let’s get weird.

This is an ashcan version of Weird Stories. The game has already been tested over 100 times in the past few years. Still, elements of the game may change over time from player feedback. The PDF version of the game will always be updated.

Sounds like some folks are confused. I haven’t looked at this game yet - purchasing soon - but it is an RPG that has this set of cards that’s integral to play so you need the rule book to use the cards.

Does anyone know how many cards it comes with?

Som this could use a PDF with instructions. The cards seem a bit all over the place, and I'm not sure what goes in what order.

This looks cool, but some examples or a preview would be appreciated.

I am intrigued as well. I second what Derek asked for. Id like to see the art.. do they convey modern or fantasy illustrations? So much to shift through before ordering a thirty dollar set of cards. Thanks in advance for your response.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
