"InSpectres: Fighting the forces of darkness so you don't have to" is Jared Sorensen's 80 pages book on comedic "Scooby Doo" haunt solving.
Players take the role of a "Ghost Busters"-like franchise immersed in the politics and humor of "Office Space" and "The Office" while dealing with supposedly supernatural manifestations.
The game is an innovative light "narrative" driven system, in that the goal is to produce an amusing story driven by the foibles of the characters. Using a dice pool system attached to a skill defined characters, you roll dice and compare it to a skill roll chart. The results are determined by who won the roll, with the winner narrating the consequences. Complications are added by skill dice. Franchise resources can be spent to modify rolls, resulting in diminishing dice for others to draw upon. One other notable feature is the "Confessional" when the game pauses and a player can narrate and edit the story, foreshadowing events, complicating the lives of the characters, or providing detail and color to the characters or the world.
