[QUOTE="KirayaTiDrekan, post: 6645752, member: 6755061"] With apologies... I am taking an extended break from DMing PbPs for a while. If anyone wants to take over the DM's chair for this campaign you have my blessing. The basic plot outline appears below. [sblock=The Secret Under the Stairs Plot Outline]Miriam Wallace, the girl who vanished from the PC family's house 10 years ago, has been Queen of the Other Side for 100 years. In that time, she has become a tyrant, compensating for an awful childhood in the "real" world by indulging herself on the Other Side, demanding worship, obedience, and wealth from her subjects. The mother of the PC family, Miriam, quickly suffers a case of mistaken identity upon entering the Other Side as she is nearly physically identical to Queen Miriam. The family was brought to the Other Side by the Whispered Ones to depose Queen Miriam, but with the Queen's stranglehold on power, the only way to do so is to take advantage of PC Miriam's resemblance. Along the way, Brad is tempted to betray the family by the Dark One, a renegade Whispered One who has been feeding into Queen Miriam's megalomania, gaining power for itself in a bid to destroy the other Whispered Ones. The Dark One tries to convince Brad that the family is suffering a mass hallucination and that they are all in a mental health facility. Ultimately, the family learns that Queen Miriam has been a victim of the Dark One's manipulations and must confront the Dark One directly. The family faces a choice - return to the "real world" and leave the Other Side in chaos and war, leave some of the family behind to pick up the pieces, or have the entire family stay behind to guide the Other Side in to a new era.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
