Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

DANG you guys are quick and prolific and awesome. C:

I have a basic idea of what I'd like to do and where I'd like to go with this, thanks to some sweet help from the sock bros above. I guess keep an eye on future game idea spaces for updates and eventual solicitations for mod help!

I’m really glad you’re going for it, OP. one last piece of input I have for you is to just be fearless. I wouldn’t advocate ripping off Mayfield completely, but what made their atmosphere unique was their npcs and the level of interactivity with the players they had going on, and just how far they’d take the events in terms of gross scariness. make an awesome, mysterious, horrifying metaplot to contrast with the creepily wholesome 50s values. If you’d like to look at other sources for inspiration on the sort of mood you should cultivate, I can pm you a list; for now just watch a ton of old Twilight Zone episodes and read stories like The Stepford Wives and this one really killer Stephen King story called “You Know They’ve Got One Hell of a Band” which nails the whole creepy 50s vibe really well.

Good luck!

Awesome advice, thank you! I'm a big junkie for 1950's material culture and pulp horror comics as well. Feel free to pm me any source recs too, I'd appreciate it!

also, keep these in mind if you can:
