What We Loved Was Not Enough [Online][Roll 20][Other][LGBTQ+ Friendly][MST][Bi-Weekly][Deltarune/Night in the Woods/Lovecraftian] Looking for 3-4 players!

The last time you were in Fort Moriah was around Middle School. Maybe your family got a better job and moved out, maybe you just got sent to a new home. Whatever the case: you had 3-4 good years away from this dying town, hopefully somewhere better. You lost contact with most of your friends here.

...But you have been dragged back. You're going to have to spend your last year of Highschool back in this town. Things haven't changed since you've left. That means this town is rotting. Decay has seeped in almost everywhere and it all feels foreign and wrong. Hopefully, this is just going to be one crappy Senior year, and you won't be stuck here.

Something is off though. Beyond just the rust and decay. Something is calling to you from the darkness. Songs in a tongue that sounds familiar and yet alien. The voices are coming from below. It's a dull buzzing in your ear that has just slowly grown in intensity.

It's telling you that you are imprisoned, bound, enslaved. It's telling you that the only way to find your Freedom is to plunge into the depths. Into a Darker, yet Darker world below.

Into the Völgev

System: Homebrew (Based on Into the Odd and NSR type games but doesn't use a d20)

Platform: Roll20 (text, sorry I hate doing voice online) + Discord for scheduling

Players: 3-4, looking for a small tightknit group.

Schedule: Weekday MST (Bi-weekly), looking for you to start sometime in August

My name is Cass and I've been a DM for a while. I have a group of 14~ people I usually rotate and play with, but I've been craving a change of pace with new players. I've learned that guessing the amount of sessions your campaign will run is a fools errand. So tentatively assume maybe...20-30 sessions?

I have quite a bit of this setting planned out as it's been a rather large pet project of mine for a while but this specific slice of it is fresh!

Tone: Expect a build up of horror and oddity. Things will start mundane and contained, but for how long? Parallel Reality Below where things work differently, and it's leaking.

GM Style: RP focused but I like maintaining verisimilitude of the world, I am not a story gamer kind of person. Rulings over Rules.

Also yes, there's a lot of other influences for the campaign, but I listed Night in the Woods and Deltarune because you'll be playing Anthropomorphic Animals. Make sure that's not a deal breaker for you.

I've also made a little Pitch Document to help sell the kind of vibe and theme I'm going for:

Chapter 5 Summary

>!That being said I'm pretty interested in where this is going. Suselle was obviously going to happen but the whole chapter basically confirmed Kris loves Susie too, but won't/can't admit it. It's not even really subtext anymore: the final scene has a somber tone entirely from Kris' unrequited feelings and Susie saying she wants the thing the 2 of them hold so special to include Noelle now. I think people should let Toby cook because there's no way this isn't going to be expanded upon and we might get a throuple.!<

I need to go. Somewhere. Anywhere. I can't.

I've been stuck in a cycle of mixed episodes for a bit here that are luckily tempered from Lamotrigine so I'm not having psychosis at least but it still sucks.

I want to start over. Just sell my house, leave everyone, delete all contact, delete all trace of myself and start a new in a new city and meet new people. Maybe even just do it for a year or two and return better.

I know I can't do that and I have people who love me and I love back but somehow it feels like staying here is torture. Being stable sucks. I sometimes wish I didn't reconnect and make amends with everyone and I could just run away whenever I wanted again.
