Hi everyone,

Hope this is the right place to ask.

Basically, as the title says, I'm looking to run an RPG for my friends set in a haunted American house. Discussion of weird WASP American dynasties gives me the creeps anyway, so I figured I'd set it in something that scares me and hopefully that transfers to the players. Unfortunately, I'm not a yank so my knowledge isn't too good, and googling "spooky wasp dynasty stories" doesn't come up with much.

Sort of stuff I'm looking for:

  • My creepy WASP family, the... Vanderchilds... had a daughter that caused them difficulty so they had her lobotomised. Her vengeful ghost will be amongst the spirits in the mansion that the players must help have their vengeance on the cruel Vanderchild ghosts.

Would also like help coming up with a better family name than the Vanderchilds.

Thanks homies.

    I don’t know, nonconsensual surgery scares me more than anything else for some reason.

    Jeez, I know what you mean. The account of them having her sing "God Bless America" while they dug around in her brain is horrifying
