Hey, everyone thank you for checking out my LFG. This ad is for a short game (a single adventure/4-6 sessions) to play with a system I'm looking forward to learn. This post will be in four parts, the game, the idea, who I am and what I expect. TLDR will be upfront and bullet pointed. Bear with me! Scheduling is a little difficult, I'm shooting for 2pm to 6pm, Saturdays (Central Daylight Time/-5GMT) NEW PLAYERS ARE WELCOME!!! Ages: 18+ Game: Dark Streets & Darker Secrets Designer: Old Skull Publishing System: OSR (d20 system) Theme: Inner city investigation into supernatural events. Experience: Apocalypse World, 40K Dark Heresy, Lamentations of the Flame Princess I want everyone to be respectful to each other and be as interested in other's characters as your own! Dark Streets & Darker Secrets is an Old School Renaissance game much in the same way Lamentations of the Flame Princess, Stars Without Number, and Godbound are. It's a d20 roll under attribute system with four Attributes, four Archetypes, and a context defining Concept. The Concept is what cements your character idea to the world, it's similar to background in Dungeons and Dragons only with a little more importance. I imagine you can get some ideas on the title alone of the kind of adventures DS&DS evokes. It's inspired by books like Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane, H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hellboy, X-Files. Imagine walking down the street and behind the thin veneer of normalcy is a thriving world of malevolent corruption hungry for your soul and maybe also for the marrow in your bones. That said, what is this game? You live in The City. The last few years corruption has begun running rampant. The upper-class' history of wanton debauchery has started to infect the have-nots, filling the streets with drugs, guns and untoward activity. The future of the small communities dwelling in the slums and ghettos is becoming increasingly forlorn. Something needs to change. Somethings already have. It's come to light, for a few people at least, that human corruption isn't the only thing causing the Utopian dream to crumble. The Abyss and its denizens press on minds of authority, sending a cascade of malevolence upon the suppressed. Monsters lurk in the shadows waiting for table scraps, the left overs of the Abyss' will. In this City there are a growing few aware of this hidden threat, the things that "go bump in the night", and have the means to fight it. It is good news, really. One of your family members went missing. Last seen at the Paradisio Apartments. Exiliados de Santa Muerte territory, you know the place. Several others have turned up missing too, one was a hunter. I'm thinkin' there's more to that slum than a bunch of gang-bangers pushing crack. Think you guys can figure it out? No chance the 5-0 will. If they did -- well you saw what happened last time. Yeah, not all of him made it out, still can't speak. Poor bastard. Hi, my name is Chris. I've been GMing for a few years now. I've cut my teeth on the Fantasy Flight Games 40K games, Deathwatch, Dark Heresy First Edition and Only War. I also have experience running the incredible Kevin Crawford's (Sine Nomine Publishing) Godbound, Lumpley Games' Apocalypse World, UFO Press' Rhapsody of Blood, Fria Ligan's Coriolis The Third Horizon, and the eponymous Lamentations of the Flame Princess. I love crunch, I love narrative. I love systems with many or a few numbers as long as it is fun to play and a blast for my players. I can be crude, but I try to be sincere and jovial as much as possible. I've been turned on increasingly more to games where the players are responsible for parts of the world building. Not just to make things easier on me, but to let them be more in touch and care more for the surroundings and circumstances of their characters. My expectations are simple. Be respectful of everyone at the virtual table. Let everyone have their time in the spotlight. Be respectful of everyone's time, we all set aside a substantial piece of our week to meet together and no call no shows and last minute schedule changes are very frustrating. Be courteous and inform me in advance when possible. If any player becomes uncomfortable with something in a scene, speak up, we will pause, and we will fade to black on the scene. There are probably more but I can't recall. Thank you for your time.
