HOW'S THE GAME?

[paradisamods]

It's time for another round of Game Discussion, also known as

HOW'S THE GAME?

Here we come together to discuss the game, its plots, the settings, and just about anything we can think of that we'd like to talk about, expand upon, improve, change, etc.

This is not an HMD for players and their characters; this should be about the game's function as a whole and not the people in it. If there is something you feel is absolutely necessary to address that involves a specific person, please IM a mod first to discuss it. We can be reached at valawie (Valerie), fan of todd (TF), or never die ftw (Ashley).

Anonymous will be on for this round. Sock journals are still allowed.

Please feel free to bring up any game-related topic you'd like to discuss. All topics will be linked in the main post.

Re: EXPEDITIONS

WHAT IF while they're on an expedition, they come across a huge, beautiful mission-style estate right when they're getting too tired to go on any longer. There, they're met by a beautiful woman carrying a lantern and welcoming them inside.

Obviously, if you have the option of sleeping in a bed versus a tent, you're gonna pick a bed, right? So at least some of the party goes in and is led down one torchlit corridor and another, each given rooms by their mysterious, smiling hostess, who won't answer questions about why it sounds like someone's whispering just beyond view.

The rooms are pleasantly furnished, if a little tacky (I mean seriously, mirrors on the ceiling?), but there's prompt room service from a man called "the Captain", and all the other denizens of the hotel seem to be having a great time dancing the night away. So maybe some people tuck in for the night, and others get some fancy drinks (pink champagne on the rocks, delish) and have a swingin' good time. And maybe a few, who have hairs pricking up on the back of their necks, go looking for the source of the low, quiet, disembodied voices they think they hear.

And sometime after midnight, it turns sour. There's a hellbeast to be reckoned with, howling in the woman's bedroom, but nobody's stabbing at it with their steely knives--instead they seem intent on feeding it some supper in the form of their new guests.

So it's time for our fellows to hie out of there, with the nightmen on their tails, and as they leave, like a crack of thunder across the broad, dark sky, comes the second-greatest long outro you ever heard the best is "layla" I WILL FIGHT YOU ON THIS.

Also maybe the woman who greets them in the doorway is La Llorona, because hey, creepy.

That's it that's the idea.

Oh, good, because I was dead fucking serious making it. o/// I just feel like it would be a really fun sidething on a longer expedition.
