[QUOTE="seasong, post: 761603, member: 5137"] Somewhat off-topic: I've been running a macabre horror campaign for one of my (non-Theralis) players, and the player has been keeping a story hour. It's not something that I think I can recommend to y'all, because it's very different from Light Against the Dark, but I think the writing is very nice, and some of you might decide you like it, so I'm posting it here. A few disclaimers: [b]Not The Same:[/b] It's not at all like Light Against the Dark, it's not D&D, it's not heroic power fantasy. [b]Action Lite:[/b] The story starts slow (there is a lot of buildup), and the action is mostly cerebral and emotional, rather than action scenes or booms. [b]Academia Lite:[/b] There's no [i]academia[/i] - it's all from the players' point of view - and things are only ever partially explained. [b]Horror:[/b] The easily offended should probably stay out. The imagery is at times macabre, sexual, and/or grotesque. The basic theme is that Lewis Carroll's Wonderland is a bright and cheery reflection of a darker truth, that numerous authors, madmen and prophets throughout history have caught glimpses of something that lay behind shadows and mirrors and dark dreams... and that the main character has stumbled into that. There are torture scenes, gothy angst, vile characters. There are characters that make me feel sticky and creepy roleplaying. You may read this and decide that I and the player are freaks. There is no victory planned at the end. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With all that said... it's a pretty good story so far. You can find it here: [url]http://pub21.ezboard.com/fseasongsmusefrm9[/url]. Obligatory Warning: Not appropriate for Eric's Grandmother, children, or the easily offended. [/QUOTE]
