A friend of mine, Tim, created this game with another guy. I'm agonized that he's close to making the kickstarter goal, but the days are dwindling.

It's a fun game where you make up a horror story based on cards that you draw. If you've played Once Upon a Time, the gameplay is similar, but this has more humor and pop culture sensibility to it. Tim's made a sweet prototype with professional artwork that looks as good as anything you'd see on a game store shelf. He's playtested it extensively, and even found a distributor ready to carry the game. He just needs to raise funds for the initial printing.

Maybe have a look at the video at the link below. If it looks like a game you'd like to play, consider backing it.

If your games of Once Upon a Time don't already have plenty of humour and pop culture, you play very differently to our lot.

Yeah, you can play Once Upon a Time different ways. I guess I just mean that the starting content from the cards in Tropes is more oriented towards goofiness. It's possible to play Once Upon a Time in the straight style of a Grimm's fairy tale, although admittedly your way sounds more fun. Tropes purposefully relies on horror movie cliches like "let's all split up". It reminds me of Scream or Cabin in the Woods.
