My D&D network "Mimics &
Monstrosities" is about to get into the streaming game come February
13th, 2019. That's only a few short weeks away!
With that, we're looking to start a unique horror campaign with a twist, and that game is called "The House From Bent Hill" .
THFB takes place entirely in a haunted manor house (think Death House,
but long-term). The characters find themselves trapped inside the house
with no means of escape. Magic can't help them escape and every time
they go to leave the house they re-appear elsewhere in the house.
The twist? The game will be ran with two
groups. One week the first group will play a game with their choices and
actions directly effecting the second group who will play the following
week and their actions and choices affecting the first group and so on
and so forth. Cool right? The house is ancient, evil, sentient and aware
of what's happening inside it and will do whatever it takes to prevent
the characters from leaving as the house thrives off of those that it
kills within its walls.
The campaign setting is my own setting, and
the world takes on a more gothic-Victorian Era vibe. Stagecoaches, frock
coats, oil lamps, you name it.
The synopsis is simple:
"Deep within the Ambervale Forest sits a
large, abandoned manor house. It was built one hundred years ago by a
rich, married couple, Edwin Troutwhite and his new wife, Margaret
Troutwhite. The manor was the talk of Ambervale, and people would come
from all around to see the home and take part in the monthly parties
that were held in celebration. However, one fateful night one of the
parties went wrong and everyone in attendance had died, including Edwin
and his wife, Margaret.
In the morning, the local constables
found the bodies and were shocked to see that they had decomposed over
night. Now, the house has sat abandoned for the last seventy-five years
and people from all over the Ambervale still stop by to pay their
respects to the long dead. Rumors speak of voices being heard on the
grounds and sightings of apparitions being seen from windows and now
people from all over the Ambervale are going missing and the connection?
They each step foot inside the house."
As a player you'll be taking on the role of
one character from the two groups. Depending on what group you're
assigned to upon character creation and acceptance will determine how
your story will unfold with the rest of your group. Those groups are "The Lost" and "The Seekers".
The Lost: You have been missing
for a month now since you entered the manor house, however it doesn't
feel like that. Time seems to pass differently on the outside. To you
all, you've only been in the house for a few hours.
The Seekers: You have been tasked
with going into the manor house and finding the group that had been
lost a month prior. You see signs of their presence (whatever actions
they performed while playing) and feel like you're getting close to
finding them.
Would you like to sign-up to be part of the two groups? You can do so in here, or apply with our Google Form you can find here: Google Form Link
We're currently looking for 7 more players to
round out the cast. Each group will consist of four players and we
already have one player in the bag.
Game: D&D 5th Edition Group type: Online (Roll20/D&D Beyond) Experience: Any experience! We want more people playing this great game. Location/Timezone: EST Schedule: Wednesdays, 7-9pm EST Roles sought: 7 players to fill in two groups. Game style:
Long term horror campaign, with two groups running the campaign. One
week the first group plays, the next week the second group plays and so
on and so forth.
