"The Night Shift is a setting and resources for running a horror-game. It is the brainchild of a collaboration of some anons on /tg/. Players are employees working the night shift at a gas station on the lonely side of nowhere. They must balance the drudgery of their mundane duties and responsibilities with the uncanny, preternatural, supernatural, and paranormal events which seem to happen at this particular gas station."
I wanted to run a game of it in October however (as with most community projects) its rules were a bit of a mess, existing across ~5 drafts and 3 systems. People from /tg/ and I brought a number of drafts together to create a PbtA ruleset, and I've tried to format it in a user friendly way. Currently I have a basic rule book for players and six playbooks, should be enough to run a game with some improvisation.

@Daniel Griffiths, Has there been any notable progress on this project since 2017? If so, drop me a line. I enjoy the concept of a tabletop system that allows you to create your own silly "Tales from the Gas Station" esque scenarios. I have a few DM friends who also love everything you've done with this system thus far! If you've made any improvements that either haven't been updated in or even put to paper, I'd love to hear them. Hope you are doing well!
