Roleplay Type(s)
The Age of Lovecraft is upon us. The world has been cast into a perpetual shadow. Creatures of Lovecraftian horror have entered our lives. Gods of Cthulhu horror have laid claim to our world. It is truly the Apocalypse.

For those who have grown bored with the zombies of Walking Dead, this world may be for you. (Personally the walkers lost their appeal when they became no more than part of the scenery.)

The RP is set in about 2030. It will have a little of the feel of Fear the Walking Dead in the the arrival of the horrors will be recent. Martial law will be in effect in many places. There will be cults, raiders, gangs, Us/Them mentality, paranoia, madness, etc.

Characters
Characters can come from all walks of life. However, as this is to become a group, think of the ethics of a group like that seen in Walking Dead. Survival will be the goal - of the group. Loners are generally not going to survive for long.

Design Considerations:
Think about who your character was before. Then maybe come up with a backstory and evolution to their current state. You could be an ex-cop, military, a waitress, paramedic, etc. Skills will be important, so think of these. People have hobbies. Take some guy who played a little too much AD&D and was a computer geek. Suddenly his skills may be useful. However, OP is not what I am looking for.

Multiple Characters
I strongly recommend one adventurous type of main character, one less so, and one expendable. We can always meet new characters in the story as we go. Cannon fodder will be almost a necessity. Think Star Trek red shirts. Token walking corpses.

Faith, Magic, and Psychics
WIP
Magic comes with a price. This usually involves sacrifices and the corruption of one’s soul.

Faith.

Psychics. Being a psychic is its own price. Being sensitive to psychic energies also means being vulnerable to it as well. While you may be a great early warning system, you can also become a liability. No telepaths for the group please.

Character Sheet
Yes, I will require one per character.

Lore
I plan to create a bunch of creatures. Up to you guys whether I make these public for all to read or not. I will at least have pics and descriptions. To be honest, I have some source material available, but have yet to read it. Sooo, I have no idea how lethal the monsters will be … yet. (Winces and braces for the sounds of screams and monsters feasting on human flesh…)

I plan to have cults evolve. This will mean the possible arrival of evil gods, Ancient Ones, or other servants.

NO, this is NOT a dice based RP. The pics I found were from a tabletop rpg. I just like the pics and basic descriptions.

Posting
3rd Person, Past Tense
Modest literacy, decent spelling and grammar
Good content. A few good paragraphs at least.
Please don't hold up the RP. I understand real life issues. (I have a 70 hour work week that leaves me exhausted, and a couple major illnesses. But I still commit myself.)

This will be all on RPN. Every time I try to add a Discord OOC, there is always someone who has problems with that.

I prefer images. Photo or good artwork with the face shown well. I also add descriptions to some of my characters.
 
I have a small sampling of monsters and entities in the Lore section. I will be looking for more "random", Void, and Cult type critters.
 
Oooooo! The horror aspect sounds right up my alley. Let me know when you plan on getting everything up and running again
 
Will do. But we do need to get up a few people if this is going to take off. Lovecraftian horrors are hard on people. (For the record, I do plan to ease up on the effects on main characters or target the "red shirt' characters.)
 
Folks, I have some characters up in the CS thread. One is really an information source. The others are a cohesive group that I ran in adventures when they were 17. 8 years later they were meeting up again (enough for them to do college or a couple 4 year tours in the military).

I have a feeling this will take on a Stranger Things - non kiddie version - tone.
 
Was clearing out some old, old stuff from 2022 in the ooc section. Might have got carried away. But I am adding some thoughts on what kills Lovecraftian creature - if anything based on rpg sources and books considered canon.
 
We are up to 4 members plus myself. Sharlene79 and I have characters posted. I would like the current members to have characters posted, plus preferably 1 or 2 more members with characters. But up to all of you if you want to keep the group smallish.
 
They look great. Reminded me that I need to tell Sharlene to check Trinity for gear. I need to check my own characters.

At some point we will need to figure out how we will get everyone together ... and where.
 
This very much sounds like something I would be interested in if you're still looking for people to partake in it.
 
Yep. Still need people. Only myself and two others have created characters.
 
This sounds awesome! I may have to come back to this tomorrow to go through everything and build characters and such! If you'll have me that is.
 
I have never roleplayed in anything like this, but at least I am really familiar with Lovecraft stuff, from books, you know. So I am interested thinking I should give role-playing in it a go.
 
Same here. A couple short stories, a movie. I did do a Dreamlands campaign back in my tabletop rpg days. I suspect this will go a bit like Season 1 of Stranger Things, but with grown ups as the stars of the show.

And I added a new comment to the OOC thread. (Looking for some good well written examples out there to read for inspiration. I don't want to overdo it with monsters every scene. That gets old fast.
