With the season of fire-bombing, throwing fireworks at people's houses and pranks on it's merry way towards us I figured a horror roleplay wouldn't be out of place. Something along the lines of being in a skari spooki underground city trying to survive a group of cannibals, a military organisation in looming and scary gas-masks and a giant poisonous mist that does... Things... To people who walkk inside it. Suggestions/Support? "ʜᴇʟʟᴏ ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟs, ᴅᴏ ɴᴏᴛ ғᴇᴀʀ, ʙᴜᴛ ɪ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴛᴀᴋᴇɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴊᴏʙ ᴏғ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ғᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴇᴇᴋ."

>skari spooki underground city >military organisation in looming and scary gas-masks I could go for a Metro 2033 RP right now, yeah. If you're planning to make this a regular RP instead of an ISRP, how do you plan to properly convey the horror of the situation.

@Zorrow Not quite sure just yet, I'll have to go though my old Call of Cthulhu campaigns for that.

okay, so, what happens? do we get captured as civillians? or do we find the entrance and go in?

@happy Again, I haven't decided. I haven't even written the RP up yet.

From what I understand of Call of Cthulhu, it's more like an ISRP rather than a regular RP in terms of gameplay. Therefore, I'd encourage you to turn your big spoopy horror RP into an ISRP. Company ruins all horror, and determining the actions of yourself and the horrifying world around you does that even moreso.

@Zorrow We could have a multiplayer ISRP, where people are broken up into small groups or something.

That could work, but once again, horror is killed by company. If you do go that route though, I'd like to request in advance that my group be made up of NPCs instead of dirty real people. And I'd like all the NPCs to be female and in the age range of 8-14. Or, allow me to be by myself. I hate seeing good ISRPs, and then having to not join because the OP forces players into groups.
