Hello crew!
I'm preparing a one-shot game for the upcoming Halloween. It's a kind of a tradition here to game around Halloween. I thought I would share what I'm preparing with you guys and gals. I sincerely hope my players won't come here to peak, otherwise I will have to kill their characters in the most gory fashion right?
This year i'm preparing a GURPS Horror/Sci-Fi game called Deacon Blues Road. That is the title I gave to my players but I feel I am creating the first part of what could be a series called The Monster Bay.
The setting I will use is a made-up town somewhere in the U.S., east of Ohio, with a certain vibe in the veins of movies like The Mist, Storm of the Century, Dreamcatcher and Silent Hill.
The synopsis of the game will be fairly simple: the pc's will awake after their car crashed along a road in a forest (yes I will actually roll some damage to simulate the accident... no mint pc's!). They will have to go to a small town to get some help.
Along the way, some strange things will happen, but once in town they will witness the inhabitants being quickly evacuated by the military. Leaving them into a "containment zone"! The rest of the story will pretty much be a survival challenge with many monsters wanting to either eat them, kill them, play with them or observe them.
I already told my players the kind of game that it will be and that "winning" the game will be a matter of surviving until the end. Everyone is excited I think.
Here's a map of the location (Deacon/Monster Bay) with some scribbled notes about the encounters I am planning:
The Town of Deacon, Location: Unknown Part of United States (probably east of Ohio)
Also, I am doing five pre-gens for this adventure: a jock, a cheerleader, a computer analyst, an ex-cop and... a cook! I'll be using the pointless option and a player-friendly character sheet for this game.
Here is the five pregens I'll be presenting to my players (updated: 2012-10-22):
Player-Characters (Pre-Gens)
The Jock/Quarter-Back
The Cheerleader
The Retired Cop
The Computer Nerd
The Professional Chef
I'll be posting the other characters and some monsters stats soon.
Enjoy.
