After having managed to actually finish something I started on a discord game, I’m feeling pretty good. I determined a few things. Namely, that I’m the only thing that really stands in my way. The second that probably the biggest factor is in fact, that I try too hard and it leads to too much indecision on my end
I always toyed with the idea of a Victorian era van helsing kind of game, so I was wondering if other people would be up for doing it. Characters being hunters or monsters. Part of the game will be managing threat and exposure. While some things like werewolves in beast form don’t take much to prove, it won’t be enough to just slay vampires or witches indiscriminately without solid enough evidence to the order and authorities. By contrast a hunter doesn’t want to risk making themselves too known or famous and have their prey go into hiding, but also will have a tougher time being seen as credible without it.
While I’m not going to try making it overly complicated, I do want to know where people’s overall interest is before I do too much work on it.
Small exposition:
Recruiting!
The Order Of The Wilted Rose
As the days ahead darken, be it for war or a harvest barren, our society remains plagued by a far more dangerous foe. We have seen the darkness lurking. The fangs of the beasts that would call us prey. Be they to consume thy flesh or drain our blood, the supernatural scourge has overridden much of the world. It thus, falls to us citizens with the willingness and conviction to fight back. This is the purpose of the Wilted Rose. To fight what others who would swear they would do the same won’t.
The Church of Aquer would tell you it’s your only means of protection, yet only lends an hand to those who will bend to it. And this in lies the issue with organizations such as the thugs of the Bassard family only loaning their services to the rich, or the impetuous Faustian dealings lurking in the Vokiria Foundation that cause it to put discovery over sanity. Who is there to take the good fight to the beasts simply because evil needs to be destroyed?
We are the answer.
We are the Wilted Rose.
