Or, How I Wasted My Christmas Vacation
“Have you run your fingers down the wall,
And have you felt your neck skin crawl,
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look,
At the corner of the room,
You've sensed that something's watching you."

Basic Premise: In a world much like ours, ancient evil lurks in the shadowy corners and forgotten places. Dark cults devoted to worshipping and serving monstrous beings that lurk beyond the fragile walls of our reality secretly recruit and kidnap innocents for their evil purposes. Most people have no idea of the forces at world plotting to destroy our world or of the lascivious creatures seek unguarded entrances to claim Earth for their own.

And neither do you; at least not at the beginning of the scenario. The characters will begin as reasonably normal college students at Blake University. But there are strange things happening on campus, and very shortly they will all find themselves drawn into a mystery that will bring them into contact and conflict with tentacle monstrosities, lust demons and evil cultists. Will they be able to drive back the wanton creatures that have already entered our world at Blake and prevent an even greater threat from being brought here? Or will they need to abandon the college in order to escape with their lives and minds intact?
This PBP will be, initially, a single shorter scenario centered around the events at Blake University. If everybody likes how the game turns out, then it is easy enough to continue in the same world (hopefully with some of the same characters, unless all the PCs get Bad Ended).
This is my first ever attempt at running a PBP game, although I’ve run live RPGs for a while. Since this is my first try, I’m going to keep the game size small. I’m looking for something like 4 – 6 players to play Blake University students. Less would be okay, but it would probably make me a little sad
Things To Know About The Game
- There are tentacles, lust demons and succubi. So, there’s going to be more than some sex in the game.
- It is possible that characters can die in the game. It’s also possible that you’ll be transformed into a servant of the forces of darkness and end up playing on the bad guy side (but you can’t start out that way).
- I will be handling all the dice rolling here on my end. I don’t have any way of proving that my rolls are fair, aside from giving you my word.
- It will be run using a very stripped down version of the BESM system. I’ll post full character creation guidelines once I know if anybody is interested.
- The characters in the game may start with minor psychic powers and some mystical training. They won’t be throwing fireballs or mind bolts. Most of the magic in the game requires books and time and rituals.
- Since the game uses a point-based character creation system, I’m going to need to review each character on their own and may ask you to change or tone down certain aspects. Your major can’t be in Ninjitsu, for example.
Please post or PM me any questions or comments. I hope that this sounds interesting to 4 - 6 of you.
