Lost in Sunflower

[etherial]

I have been writing a Changeling: The Lost One-Shot entitled "Lost in Sunflower" (those familiar with oldest_song's games should recognize the setting). I'll be writing the characters and the storyline, you'd just need to bring some d10s and your sense of mystery. Is my work all for naught, or are any among you interested?

It's a weeknight in early Autumn, and the youth of Sunflower are gathering for an evening of poker and their parents' beer. But by the pricking of their thumbs, something wicked this way comes, and they may just find themselves Lost...forever...

I think my "Yes" is more of a "Maybe; I'd like to know more about the setting." I still gave answers to question two,though.

Changeling or Sunflower?

Yes, although I know more about the former just from what you've told me.

No clue why I wasn't logged in for that.

It was The Others. They did it. They don't want you to know more about...er, do you have any specific questions or do you just want me to pontificate?

Damn those others, they do EVERYTHING!

Pontificate away. I guess I'm also asking not only about in-game setting but out-of-game setting, in that: what kind of a game is it? kind of way.

I'd say the one shot is psychological horror/thriller. Hmm...what would you rather hear about? Character backstory? Magick Powerz? Story and gameplay?

I'm curious, and would like to try out the setting. I haven't read any of the materials for it yet. But the only days I'm really available now (that I'm going to class again) are weekends (fridays work, mostly).

Don't know. More info for someone who does not know any of the terminology you are waving about?

hm...terminology

Changeling, n. A person born of either the Mortal Realm or the Fae Realm who was Taken into the other. Their time in the other realm changed them. In the context of Changeling: The Lost, they are exclusively of the mortal-taken-to-Faerie variety.

One-shot, n. A roleplaying game intended to last only one session, usually used as an introduction to the system or players. This is the most common form of roleplaying game run at conventions, given the unpredictable nature of attendance therein. Some one-shots, such as this game, come with pregenerated characters.

Sunflower, n. A small town in Assfuck Nowhere Oregon, populated by aging hippies and their children.

World of Darkness, n. A world, much like our own, but in addition to the normal human sort of evils, there are supernatural evils that stalk the night, often including Vampires, Werewolves, Mages, and the True Fae. The World of Darkness is the flagship setting of White Wolf Game Studio's roleplaying games, and is generally credited for revolutionizing the world of roleplaying games beyond hack and slash D&D.

The Others, n. The Gentry. The True Fae.

d10, n. A die with 10 sides, numbered one through ten.
