New: The Calling (free, open-ended, email, human, modern, rpg) From: donotreply@pbm.com (PBM List Autoposter) Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 19:13:01 +0000 Name: The Calling Costs: free URL: http://members.rogers.com/cterry/thecalling/ Frequency: one per week (more or less) Email: callingrpg zat yahoo.com Type: gothic horror Last-Update: 2004Aug07 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, human, modern, rpg Description: The Calling is a gothic horror PBEM RPG. But more than that, we want it to be an interactive story. Hopefully, a never ending story. This game is not about chopping demons into pieces every five minutes, it's not about solving problems, it's about experiencing them and, hopefully, surviving... The game is set in a New England town called Elk Bay (All Stephen King and Lovecraft readers must have an idea of what we are talking about.) Strange things happen in this town, there are ghosts, poltergheists and just about any interesting supernatural event you would like to see happen. But the vast majority of the citizens are not aware of it. Only the characters are. They used to be just like anyone in the town but, something (and that something is up to you...) happened. They witnessed or experienced something. And since they don't want to get locked up in the local lunatic asylum, they won't say anything, or, only to people who experienced the same thing.
