What kind of ghost lore do you have? I want to avoid the "burn the remains ".
Right now my general idea is that if you burn / destroy the item binding them, it dehumanizes them and turns them from a troublesome, dangerous ghost into an enraged, murderous spectre.
How do you get lore to Hunters? One of the parts I most disliked in Supernatural was "i spent 5 minutes searching 'the lore' here is this super specific weakness. "
I'm running a mystery out of the Tome of Mysteries (highly recommend).
No spoilers. The monster is from SE Asia and very dangerous. Toe to toe, the Hunters are toast. But:
- it is repelled by a few common kitchen spices
- it can be weakened by a certain culturally specific ritual, that a person of this culture might guess but isn't obvious
- can be placated by a certain (non human sacrifice)
How do I get information like this into the Hunters hands in a way that feels natural ?
For example, i had a maze mystery, the Mundane spent Luck and thus got something useful, so she found a spool of magic thread. Because of the players general culture/ educational background as Americans, they instantly knew to follow the thread.
I love there being multiple interesting ways to solve a problem, but how do I get them this info?
