Silent Hill meets Call of Cthulhu

[Laraqua]

A resort town in cheery America is a major holiday destination that sits upon the shores of the beautiful Lake Toluca. It's a fun and fantastic location with plenty to see and do whether as one of our many wonderful tourists or as brand new residents. Catch a film or theatrical production at Artaud Theatre then retire to Annie's Bar for drinks with friends. Check out the Lakeside Amusement Park and see the historical Lighthouse that is still in operation certain days of the year. Spend a romantic evening on the Observation Deck or an evening at Pete's Bowl-o-Rama. Or take a stroll through Rosewater Park.

For the more historically minded individuals, there is the Silent Hill Historical Society office and the now defunct Toluca Prison.

Families can send their children along to the historic Midwich Elementary School. Silent Hill also has the full compendium of emergency and health services, from Alchemilla Hospital to Cedar Grove Sanitarium and Brookhaven Hospital to a local police station. Come and meet friends and family at Cafe5to5.

There's lots to see and do and that's not even mentioning White Claudia, The Order, skinned dogs, alien geometries that occasionally warp the town, nor the psychologically-induced misery and torments that spring fully formed into existence while walking the merry streets.

So.... Is anyone up for a trip to Silent Hill?

This would be a cozy game (small number of 3 - 5 participants) and I'd ideally like either tourists or family members, though I'm open to suggestions.

*jumps up and down waving his hands*

Ooh! Ooh! Me! Me!

[Laraqua]

hehe, awesome. Good to hear that this has a fan already.

So did you want to have a loner character or be tied to another player? There's always the chances for tourist couples, families, etc. as well as the traditional loners.

[Dr. Bloodworth]

I'd be interested in trying this one out.

[Laraqua]

So that's two interested individuals.

[Mr. Handy]

I'd like a loner. I was thinking of a private investigator whose latest case leads to Silent Hill.

[Laraqua]

Sounds good. I'm more than happy with that. PM me with a bit of a background, including his greatest virtue and vice, his biggest shame / sin, his deepest darkest secret, and the most important person in his life. You can be as brief or as comprehensive as you like. They can all revolve around the same couple things or be very distinct.

As for Dr. Bloodworth, what say you? Loner or buddied up?

[Mr. Handy]

That'll have to wait for this weekend, I think. As it stands, I'll barely have time tonight to post in all the games I'm in and update The Ninth Planet, and I still haven't updated Zombie Apocalypse.

[Laraqua]

It's all good! It'll take at least a week before this game gets off the ground.

[Dr. Bloodworth]

Sorry -- I'm thinking about a loner-type, though I'm not sure of exactly the occupation yet.

[Laraqua]

Hey, we could just have a group (or pairing) of loners. That's all good. I just think it'd be fun to split and recombine or taunt loved ones with glimpses of their somewhat missing friends, then bring them together, etc.

And don't worry so much about occupation. Silent Hill's vibe places personality and background over occupation. How often does Harry Mason write a novel, anyway? And what does Heather Mason do, anyway? Does she just go to High School? Is she in college? Who knows? It never comes up.

It is important for building a sheet, but not for who you are, necessarily.

[kabukiman]

I'm interested too! Don't start without me!

[Laraqua]

Loner or grouped up?

[Kadael]

This interests me.

I'd be down with grouping up with somebody.

[Laraqua]

Okay, coolio! Well, even if another player isn't keen on it, I'm happy to create you an NPC or two.

[Laraqua]

Could someone create me a forum? Just call it Welcome to Silent Hill.

[kabukiman]

Looner.

[Laraqua]

Okay, well, could those with the Loner characters PM me with their idea? Same details as I asked Mr. Handy.

[Dave Syrinx]

Presto! Your forum is here.
Let me know if you want the game description changed.
Cheers!

Very interested here. I would like to play a preschool teacher in either a government funded preschool program(perhaps the elementary school has opened up a Pre-K program with federal and state dollars) or a non-profit preschool.
