[QUOTE="kipling, post: 1225333, member: 14955"] [b]Just call it "Brigadoom"...[/b] You are of course allowed to steal. A new one popped into my head today--I can see that I'm already plotting out the whole thing; as long as our target got an unrestricted Greyhound ticket she's allowed to make as many stopovers as possible, so long as she gets the driver's signature on the ticket. A ghost town that is literally a ghost town. It's the anti-Brigadoon, an old mining town that only exists for one day every fifty years (or every century). Kind of like the HPL story "Festival"--and our girl got to go to it. You might figure that leaves our investigators out of it, but they find some man dressed in old-fashioned clothes worried about his coins--someone has stolen his coins--and it turns out he was on the bus, too, and decided to get back on the bus before the festival. He wants back--he thinks he's found true love with a young woman there--and so he's dressed in handmade clothes of the period and is carrying legitimate coins from the time. With him on the bus (and the PCs), it goes there in time for the Festival again. He went there originally because he had an ancestor in that town, I'm sure; he wanted to see if there was anything left of it, the town that disappeared. Of course, it's not a pleasant Festival, and once reunited with his blood kin, he begins to change. Not well for the PCs, I'm afraid...because they all look tasty. Heh-heh-heh. And somebody has slashed the tires on the bus, because wouldn't it be nice if they stayed for a while? [/QUOTE]
