Geiger Counter is a collaborative role-playing game designed to produce survival horror movie -like experiences. It is designed by Jonathan Walton and is available from his Bleeding Play blog.
The game is designed for one-shot games. You can create a whole movie in one evening. The suggested optimum number of players is from 5 to 7. There is no Game Master, everyone gets to both play a character of their own and contribute to the overall story, milieu and play the menace in turn.
I've not finished a game of Geiger Counter just yet. From reading it though it seems like a perfect fit to me -- no GM, light but effective system, focus on the story and making it together.
While the genre is probably familiar to everyone I think that additional tools and material to fuel the collaborative idea generation can help the first phase of a Geiger Counter session -- coming up with the premise and directoral style for the movie. So, I've collected a couple of links to survival horror movie trailers in Youtube for your viewing pleasure.
Please provide others in the comments if you have them!
