Shireling
A Servant of King and Country
Noice. I don't really know how I could really implement that in the given setting though. The inhabitants of Arkham are not necessarily "welcoming" but they're not outright violent.Grey said:I gen'rally feel it can be effective to prime players with exposure to things like police brutality, negligent parenting, and the gruesome results of some corrupt governance. Even moreso if you have NPCs doing horrible things for what they believe to be the right reasons.
Because then the veil is drawn back and it provides that alteration of perspective that can push a character to breaking point - these awful things done, all that suffering, and it turns out to be for nothing.
I got great results from making players witness the atrocities of a third world dictator for an hour and half before any Mythos stuff showed up at all.
