What’s This?
This is a repository for an urban horror RPG setting/campaign that focuses on a household of supernatural gifted/cursed human beings working together to keep the darkness from the doorstep and kindle their own light in the shadow.
The House itself is both a refuge for the residents and a gateway to other times, places, perhaps even dreams. It is alive in its own right and has its own designs. In return for the benefits it provides, it sends the group out in to the world, armed with talismans that allow them to blend in with the populace and seamlessly communicate with them. Do not lose your talisman. It is the key to your home.
Player characters come with their own agendas and stories to tell, and the household acts as a nexus that Bonds them together as a bulwark against the impositions of the world. Even as they uncover the secrets of their new domain and it moulds itself to their psychic imprint, they will be dragged back to answer for past sins by their connections, both supernatural and mundane.
Because I acknowledge my own flakiness, I’m looking to run the campaign as something of a west marches style. Sessions will be episodic, beginning and ending at The Sanctuary, but there may very well be a number of linking story arcs underway at any given period. Likewise, the cast of characters in any given session is determined by who can turn up, even if it’s only a couple of us. If players want to engage in furthering their own plots between sessions, even better! If logs can be kept of play sessions, so others can stay abreast of what’s going on, that’s all I would hope for.
