Bad Decisions is a very rules-light GMless game of lighthearted comedic horror. One where we each become the kind of hapless characters the audience shouts “NO! DON’T GO IN THERE!” to when they appear in a movie. In traditional role-playing games, you often want to do the smartest, safest thing to survive. Here, we like our heroes curious, irresponsible, and extremely mortal. The whole point of Bad Decisions is to get yourselves killed doing something terribly idiotic. Players take turns narrating and making Bad Decisions until, at the midway point, you are no longer just hinting at danger: danger is pretty much chasing you through a cornfield with a machete. Maybe literally. And from there, things start to move fast. We shift our focus from narration to a modified version of Liar's Dice, where anyone who gets eliminated gets…err…eliminated. Soon it’s head-to-head with just two players left. One will be the so-called Final Girl, but it turns out the other has been the Secret Mastermind all along! Be prepared to make Bad Decisions for your own character and to help narrate terrible endings for the other characters once things inevitably go terribly wrong.
This game is perfect for fans of collaborative storytelling, improv, horror movie tropes, and making bad decisions.
No preparation is needed.
