You and your friends will be staying the night at this cabin in the woods. There are some strange rules you'll have to follow, though.. ENDYMION: FORGOTTEN SYMBIOSIS GAME SETTING: 1990's AMERICA As far as you were concerned, Andy's Cabin was this sort of.. Holy Grail. A place always spoken of, but never visited. Every time the gang got back together, he always had a story about lakeside life, out there in the woods. He made it sound spooky sometimes, but mostly? It sounded ideal. And every time you and the others managed to find time in your schedules to have dinner or hang out, he had a new story. And every time, one of you asked about when the invitation to visit would come. Andy always seemed hesitant before responding, and up until now, it had always resulted in a polite "We'll see" or "Maybe next time." But this time, after a few drinks and a little more pressure than usual? Andy caved. The invite was given, a date set. Five childhood friends. One cabin. One weekend. And one world which was going to be thoroughly rocked by your partying. Except.. Now you're here. And Andy isn't.. And the weirdest thing of all is this strange list of rules you've found. Turn on the fence? ... Turn off the lights? ... ... Lock the basement? Embark on a tale of terror and descend into a world of grotesque violence and gnashing maws. A world where the strange dominates and mankind is preyed upon by its very own flesh. If you enjoy the macabre, the horrific, and the down right disgusting, then celebrate Halloween with us all through November and December! The frozen grip of Winter approaches, and though the weather outside is frightening.. It is even more so in doors for those who must brave this grim tale of death, survival, and waning hope. ABOUT THE GAME
My Co-DM (who will be providing female voices and general game
support) and I are running a Horror themed campaign through the end of
the year, so that the fun of Halloween doesn't have to end quite so
soon! With the 31st looming, we all know that means Christmas cheer and
Mariah's singing are just around the bend. But the spooky, chilling
atmosphere of October doesn't have to go away just yet.
Like a ghost, the gruesome, the grotesque, and the terrifying
might yet still linger in some dark corners, where one had once thought
them passed and gone.
Endymion is a custom horror campaign using home brew rules to
facilitate you and your group of childhood friends being drawn into the
dark events which transpire in the woodlands of your American North-East
hometown during the late 1990's.
Overarching narrative themes involve:
Analog Horror
Body Horror
Eldritch Horror
Game play themes revolve around:
Dungeon Exploring
Puzzles
Heavy Role Play
Custom home brew rules, which have been refined through player
feedback over the course of 4 years, pertain to the following:
Custom modern classes & sub-classes (Including but not limited
to: Soldier, Luminary, Field Scientist, Dare Devil, and more!), as well as a massively expanded background system that lets you craft your character to feel just right .
Wound Tables which replace HP entirely. No more numbers
being thrown around depleting chunks of a health bar. Receive realistic
wounds, get tired, bleed. Adapt, fight, survive.
Simplified Exhaustion Rules, working seamlessly in cohesion with
the new HP-less wound system, making managing your exhaustion and
knowing your penalties significantly easier.
MEET YOUR GM'S Hi, I'm Rex, and with me is my good friend, Ethos. She and I endeavor to create worlds with varied characters and incredible depth. Though our two styles are very different, we work together like wind and water to sculpt your role playing experience into something which we hope will be more memorable than any you have experienced prior. I, Rex, handle all male NPC's and voice work, and am the primary handler of setting up maps and missions. I manage combat scenarios primarily. Game mechanic rulings generally fall on my shoulders if I am present, and I will favor whatever keeps things quick paced, snappy, and realistic. With me is Ethos. She handles all female NPC's and voice work, and is the co-writer for all story elements in the game. Though she is not the primary combat scenario runner, she will take over should I have to step out. Ethos is the handler of the our notes & records, and should be approached if reference to something is needed. We are both are dedicated gamers and RPers and have been in the hobby for over two decades now. Having met playing Star Wars & Gundam scenarios, we have a vast breadth of experience across all genres.. Though Ethos favors the that which is steeped in dark magics. The gothic, and the grim. From Dark Eldar to Vampire Countesses. I in turn favors the less magical side of things, from Dinosaur riding Barbarians to star hopping Mecha Jockeys. Together, for this campaign, I would like to call our blended style "John Carpenter"esque. We hope that our ability to provide diverse voice work and jointly DMed sessions will help things move at a faster, smoother pace and improve player immersion, and we take a lot of pride in our welcoming atmosphere and the positive experiences that we've been able to provide to our players. We also hope that you'll join our table and participate in this new bleak and hungry world we've spun for others to enjoy, and that you will walk away with memories and stories to tell your fellow gamers for a life time. DISCORD SERVER & WATCH PARTY
Joining the campaign and paying are not mandatory to join the Discord server or be present for any given Watch Party! So come on down and enjoy some good chills and gruesome kills with fellow horror fans from Roll20!
Before each session, we will also be hosting a private watch party
for our Discord friends. Be sure to turn up early if you wish to enjoy
them with us! For our first Saturday, we will be hosting a group viewing of Shelter 54 , a masterclass in indie kaiju horror. PAYMENT & REFUND POLICY This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of $20 per weekly session via Paypal (alternative methods can be discussed if you prefer otherwise). Roll20 is not responsible for any payment
transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements. This must be paid before the end of the night or you will not be able to join the next session. If you are unhappy with your session, we will provide a full refund at your request, but you will also be unable to join the next session.
