Grand Guignol

Grand Guignol

Grand Guignol is a GM-less Gothic tabletop role-playing game set in a haunting vision of late-Victorian London. Players take on distinctive Gothic archetypes and work together to shape the city, its hidden communities and the unsettling forces that surround them.

The game explores monstrosity, queerness, intimacy and community against a backdrop of gaslit streets, oppressive institutions and fragile social bonds. Rather than relying on a traditional game master, the group builds the setting and story collaboratively, discovering secret histories and deciding how characters respond to danger, prejudice and supernatural intrigue.
