Halloween 2024 Special!

Our game group tonight is tasked with retrieving cursed artifacts that a low-life in their family tree gave out to spread chaos and the Devil's greater plan across the world. With each item they bring back to their special vault, they reclaim a small bit of redemption for themselves. I'm using a hack of the Polymorph system as popularized by the Mazes RPG.

Bloody Appalachia - The Opening

The characters have just won a local contest by filming a pilot episode of a show for public access television. They’re still workshopping a name, but the television studio has leant them a van and recording equipment to film a season’s worth of footage. Over the next three months, during winter, they are staying in the most legend-filled town within a 5 hour drive. The players are my usual cast from Of Steam, Steel and Murder: Bill, Richard, Jamas, and Dion.
