Green Oaks RPG – Tabletop Roleplaying Game for Elderly Adventurers
What if the residents of a charming retirement home were the last line of defense against ancient curses, alien experiments, and the very mouth of Hell? Green Oaks RPG is a fast-paced, darkly comedic tabletop roleplaying game where every player takes on the role of an Elder — a retired adventurer with a lifetime of secrets, skills, and stubborn determination.
Who This Appeals To
Perfect for fans of horror-comedy like Bubba Ho-Tep, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Murder, She Wrote. Ideal for groups who want a rules-light, narrative-driven RPG with memorable, offbeat characters and a setting that's equal parts cozy and creepy. Great for one-shots, convention play, or ongoing campaigns.
Features

- Wildly Creative Characters — Play an ex-Marine turned priest, a retired serial killer, a spy who loves tailoring, and more
- One Narrator Role — One player guides the story while everyone else embodies their Elder

- Mystery-Soaked Setting — Hidden treasures, alien experiments, ancient burial grounds, and demonic portals all lurk beneath Green Oaks
What You'll Experience
Green Oaks is designed for loud, fun game nights where the unexpected is always one card flip away. The W.O.R.T.H.E.R.S. system means your Narrator can improvise everything on the fly, keeping the energy high and the story moving. Whether your Elder is investigating a suspicious new orderly or fending off something that definitely shouldn't exist in the basement, every session delivers the perfect blend of absurdist humor and genuine tension.
