Dude, Run! - eBook

You’ve seen the shows.

Night vision cameras.

Static-filled EVP sessions.

Dramatic whispers in abandoned buildings.

In Dude, Run! you don’t hunt ghosts.

You try to prove they’re there.

Dude, Run! is a competitive tabletop role-playing game about filming an episode of a paranormal television show.

One player is the Skeptic — quietly triggering perfectly normal events.

The rest are Investigators — true believers competing to turn ordinary noises, shadows, and coincidences into undeniable supernatural evidence.

Creaking floorboard?

Demon.

Raccoon in the attic?

Cryptid.

Loose wiring?

Interdimensional portal.

How It Works

Investigators explore “Hotspots,” interpret events, and roll large dice pools to build Evidence and inflate their on-screen reputation.

The more dramatic your explanation, the stronger your position as Lead Investigator.

But push too hard and panic sets in.

Roll the wrong combination and:

You don’t investigate.

You bolt.

And when one person runs, others start believing.
