Ghastly Affair Location Catalogue Mansion
Ghastly Affair Location Catalogue Mansion
• This collection of forms is intended for use with “A Ghastly Companion to Castles, Mansions, &
Estates”. It will guide you in your creative process, while creating an organized record that can be later be
referenced during actual game play. It can also be used to spontaneously create a location as you play,
providing both ready-made descriptive phrases, and a means to record the characteristics of the place as
they are determined.
• The associated random table (or tables) from the “Building Your Grand House” chapter of “A Ghastly
Companion to Castles, Mansions, & Estates” is indicated in parentheses before most felds. In some cases,
a relevant Appendix of the book is indicated instead.
• Remember, you don’t need to fll out every line of every feld. Just record what you think is going to be
important during a Game Session – or brings you pleasure to imagine.
• Rather than fll out the felds strictly in sequence, you may fnd it much more creatively stimulating to
skip around, following your inspiration and inclinations.
• Sufficient margins have been left so you can place physical copies of the pages in a ring binder, whether
you print the pages single or double-sided. Bind the sheets in whatever order seems most useful to you,
and rearrange them as needed.
• Use a regular Ghastly Afair Non-Player Character Record (or the Character Sheet from your chosen
game system) to fully defne important NPCs – but for most others, the various character Rosters found
in this Catalogue will usually be sufficient.
• If you are going to fll out the forms electronically (instead of printing them, and flling them out by
hand), begin by creating a new folder on your computer, using the name of your fctional house. Use “Save
As” to save this PDF with a new fle-name corresponding to that of the house, and put the fle you create
in the similarly-named folder.
• When you use the fll-out forms, keep your copy of “A Ghastly Companion to Castles, Mansions, &
Estates” open at the same time in another tab of your PDF reader program. This makes it easy to transfer
the information from the random generation tables into the relevant felds of the Location Catalogue.
• Whenever you want to defne an individual interior room in complete detail, use a copy of the “Ghastly
Afair Location Catalogue – Interior Room”. If you are flling out the forms electronically, rename the
fle and place it in the same folder as the main Location Catalogue. Save a separate, re-named copy of the
PDF for every room that you want to completely defne.
• If you want to defne the individual sections of the house’s Parkland in detail, use a separate copy of the
“Ghastly Afair Location Catalogue – Garden Features” for each one. If you are flling out the forms
electronically, make sure you put the renamed copies in the same folder as the other Location Catalogues
for the house.
• If you fll out the forms by hand, I suggest using pencil rather than pen. This will allow you to more easily
and neatly make any desired alterations.
• Always exercise your own discretion and judgment when flling out the felds and creating your castle.
Ignore the result of the random tables whenever they don’t ft your overall vision for the place – but
remember that trying to make sense of apparently incongruous things can often open up unexpected
creative avenues. Watch for the story that emerges from the random results. Recognize and develop it.
Adjust all the characteristics of the house and inhabitants as necessary.
