Horror Campaign

This is a campaign I have created, and as of how I'm calling it Keep. This will feature no weapons, but the run and hide mechanic made popular by Amnesia: The Dark Descent.. I'm hoping to make a role playing like that in a way. Story: You were raised in the town... But one of those nights you didn't wake up in the safety of your bed. A Grand Masters room was the place of your awakening, and the windows outside showed nothing but darkness. The door stands invitingly, waiting for you to open it. You must get out. Now. So please comment if you would play this, thanks!

I would like to know more about this particular style of play, the no weapons thing has me both interested and confused at the same time.

I would love to play it, it sounds horrifying and fun at the same time. I would like to hear more about how its played. I'm guessing the object of the game is escape?

Yes, the game would be based around escaping... Also instead of health, there would be sanity. Whenever the time came where usually you would battle the monster, you might roll on hiding, or throwing a nearby object to distract the monster. Glad you all are interested! Im working on the maps now.

Oh yeah, and my account broke, so this is the account where the game will be.

Sounds very interesting!

Thanks! I'm asking you guys... With the aura feature, can you turn on the Fog setting, then use t,he aura to light the fog?

I can't answer your question, but Amnesia is a great game and this sounds quite interesting!

Ok, thanks though

The Dynamic Lighting feature is still in testing and you need to be a Supporter to use it. You could use the auras to see which areas to uncover, but you would still need to physically remove/add the fog of war

Oh Thanks... I'm wondering because using the different light sources we could put lanterns to good use

I would be interested. How many players are you looking for?

I would be looking for 4-5 people to play

That way, a group of people could work together to solve the puzzles and get things done... Don't want to many people running around, or it will take away the lonely aspect

Makes sense. Would this take place in the same universe/time period as Amnesia, or in a more classic medieval setting?

Well, I'm just thinking in terms of amnesia, other then that the two are not related at all... Mine is an original new world... Can't give away to much of the story, that's for you guys to find out

Sounds like fun. I'm new to roll20 but my and the missus are prepare to try anything. What timezone are you in? We're +2 GMT but are free most weekends.

Alright I'm back :) I've finished a couple of the maps, nothing scary... Yet..

We are Eastern time zone, and we would be playing on Sundays, but maybe Saturdays every once and a while

Never very late, probably just one hour sessions starting at 700 and ending at 800

Bump

If it starts this Saturday I might be able to join if that time is eastern time, but this weekend is also hectic because of exams. Ugh I'm seriously tired of exams..

God those suck! We would probably be playing on a weekend, but for those that would like to play, I'll need times that you are available so I can make this work for everyone... Warning! I might not even be ready by this weekend, I'm working on the rooms... I'm making the rooms large, so each room is a different map, so we will be changing through the maps a lot as you progress.

Bump

I think this weekend will be too busy cuz I have to DM my own game of Pokemon RPG and study x.x but all my exams will be done by next weekend. If its On Friday night though I might have a chance at playing, I will just write my paper early.

Ok cool

Carriage, I have never played Amnesia before so could you let me know what I would need to make a character for this game? I am free Sundays but Saturday is my Shadowrun game night.

Would this game be weekly or Bi-weekly? I work till 8pm every other weekend.

Well, character creation would be limited.. Basically you would choose your avatar (I had to choose ones that were not in, but they look a bit like normal people), and everything else would be the same between the two of you... Maybe overtime, you would develope skill at, say, hiding, or sprinting... Picking locks and such. And the game would be weekly... I'm still working on the maps fir the first segment, and hoping for dynamic lighting to come out for everyone soon.

Would you be adverse to me joining every other game?

That would be fine... We would just fill you in on what parts you missed, if that would be fine with you

That's cool with me. =] Oh, balls. I just reread the posts, Sunday is your primary game night? I thought it was Saturday =\ fail; I'm busy Sunday evenings. Drat!

Just keep me informed of when you plan on playing because I would really like to see how this turns out.

Ok.. Is there anyway to get maps to core the game board? As of now, the maps are made with just the tools...

Are you still doing it tonight? I finished my paper early I just need to send it in by email. And if it is, How do I join in, I looked and I didn't see a group for it yet in looking for a group area.

Im not going to be able to run a game tonight, sorry guys.. family stuff

Bump

Bump

When are you going to run a game? I still want to play

Carriage, I have just read all of the above comments and must say I am very, VERY interested. I am very experienced with roll20 interface and a skilled RPlayer. I host regular games on here, but now I would like to play. I am free tonight if your game will be running also if you dont need more players than I could aid in any in game designing. Thanks Deveraux "Always the GM, Never the player"

You should check out the token tool through this link <a href="http://www.rptools.net/index.php?page=downloads" rel="nofollow">http://www.rptools.net/index.php?page=downloads</a> would be very useful for making modern tokens for the game.

Good call Talieson, We have used this tool in our campaign. Gives each char any Token design they would want. Just need a Picture.
