I'm in the process of updating my Crafted in a Shell SRD and I'm looking for feedback and advice

What features do you think more SRDs should include? Is there any guidance you think is lacking in SRDs? And what's your favourite SRD and why?

"Don't do X... we will know and there will be consequences"

VS

Doing X is a mechanic in this game and will change the way the story develops and is there for encouraged

It's a fun puzzle to reach the balance but I'm enjoying it!

Writing for The Hawthorne Effect is a delicate balance of writing mechanics in a clear and easy to understand way

Whilst partially writing diegetically as an evil institute that wants to gaslight you into believing you can't fight against the conspiracy, not that there is a conspiracy anyway

Accumulating Dread is an important mechanic because it put the task of complicating the narrative in the player's hands.

Problem is playtesting it requires a longer form of play. So far I've done a lot of oneshots and one mini series.

What I need is a full campaign!

Accumulating Dread is a reaction to bad stuff being put into the world. Players can spend Dread to add narrative complications to the story

If they don't spend Dread, a pre-chosen (At session 0) danger will take effect until a moment of relief in the narrative or a PC dies. (Preferably the former!)

What Haunts Us has been playtested so much in the last few months, I've been able to run almost every aspect of the game

There are some ghosts I haven't been able to run, some items that haven't shown up but that's bound to happen

The only major mechanic I've yet to test is Accumulating Dread

I LOVE Ghosts, the UK show is genuinely so goddamn funny!

I didn't think of it for that but you are absolutely right, some eps are perfect for those themes

In your opinion, what are the best depictions of grief, loss, and / or ghosts in media?

They can be from movies, shows, games, TTRPGs, books, or anything really

I want to create a giant list of media that gives off the same vibe as What Haunts Us for people to take inspiration from
