Cast of Characters and General Discussion
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2020 8:10 am
I will be using the Ghastly Affair system in an attempt to create something of the flavor of the supernatural soap opera Dark Shadows. You don't need to know anything about the system or the TV show to play.

This forum is set in 1967. There is another forum set in 1795. These may effect each other, but may also be inconsistent; consider them to be different universes.
I will use pre-generated characters. Most will have their own secrets and agendas, often in conflict with each other. Expect lots of private messages between players, and lots of deception.
This is something of an experiment, so bear with me. To work out for the best, several players will be needed.
For now, select one of the following characters. Everything you need to know at this time is listed below. More information will be given to you after selections are made.
