Silent Hill Cosmology

[Labmonkey-XL]

I've only played the first one (a looooong time ago, so I cant remember), and bits and pieces of the second and third one.

I do have a few of the Graphic Novels and intrigued by the concepts introduced by the games, but I know nothing about the Cosmology. I want to run a one-shot Horror "Silent Hill"campaign using either Cthulhu, D20 Modern, or OGL Horror.

Does anyone have any helpful hints or web resources?

Thanks in Advance!

Go with purely with Cthulhu if you want a classless system. Otherwise, if you do want to integrate pieces of it, there are some pieces worth their salt. I personally enjoy the monsters and the spells. However if I ever do run a Cthulhu D20 game, it'll be a fusion of Cthulhu D20 and D20 Modern (or D20 Past) with possibly some OGL Horror thrown in the mix.

You can find a couple of helpful files on the Silent Hill cosmology here; scroll down into the In-Depth FAQs section for the Plot Analysis and Plot Guide files (sorry, GameFAQs dosn't allow direct linking to its files). I can't say which is the better; the Plot Guide covers Silent Hills 1-3 in, if file size is any indication, greater detail than the Plot Analysis, but the Plot Analysis is more up to date and covers the newly released Silent Hill 4. *shrug* Either way, any information you need should be in there somewhere.
