Interest Check:  NWOD: Innocents (Horror)

[img]http://www.noordinaryobsession...c21-300x200.jpg[/img]


Nothing scares me more than horror stories involving children. I want to pulse the community for interest in a game of New World of Darkness: Innocents.  In the game, all characters play as 11 year old children.  See the description below for innocents basic setting.

"The World of Darkness Through Innocent Eyes

Monsters don't just lurk in remote forests, nightclubs, slums and the rooftops of the city. They're in your neighborhood, watching you as you walk to school. They're waiting for you in the woods behind your house as you and your friends build your fort. They're under your bed.

Adults have learned to live in the World of Darkness by ignoring the supernatural, by pretending it isn't there and going about the lives they have made for themselves. You don't have that luxury. You see the world through a child's eyes, and that means you haven't learned to look away.

Be careful. Innocence is fragile. "

I think this would be fun to try out, maybe with the potential of advancing the timeline somewhat after a certain key point. Like maybe after a really crazy and challenging event where we, as those alone against the darkness, bond as a group. And maybe the next thread has us a little old, like a year or two at a time? Just a thought, either way I might be interested depending on how fast the posts are (I have quite a bit of free time lately).

Read your game info and creation thread. I like the set up. Keeping tabs on it for the Players Wanted mark.

Re: Interest Check:  NWOD: Innocents (Horror)

Here's a couple of things I have begun to put together.

1) The overall theme I am aiming for is "fear of the unknown."  But the idea of  adults dismissing their concerns as overactive imaginations will also play a prominent role.

2) I'm looking for probably no more than four players so I can focus on character development. Each player would start with a one-on-one PRELUDE to get a feel for the level of interest and to get some familiarity with the post of pacing with each player/character. Also the benefit is that accepted characters can begin right away, without having to wait for others.

3) I'll be using a standard story teller screen for the first chronicle. But the overall goal is to make this an "advancing time" adventure where character will mature into actual adult NWOD players over the course of 2 or 3 NWOD innocent chronicles.

4) General rules will include eliminating "initiative" and combining some elements of combat to speed things along.

5) I'd like to encourage players to post at least 3 times a week to keep things going. The innocents characters will all be aged 11. Innocents does not utilize the Virtue, Vice or derangement traits from the World of Darkness Rulebook.
Instead, characters possess an Asset, a Fault and possibly one or more triggers, respectively. Once per game session, if a character behaves in a manner in
accordance with his Asset, he regains all spent Willpower points. Once per scene, on the other hand, he may regain a single Willpower point by acting in accordance with his Fault. I can help for those who don't have an Innocents source book.

Here's some info on the first chronicle:

--------------------------------------------


No one has lived in the Mayfair House for as long as you can remember, maybe even as long as you’ve been alive. Like a big gray toad nestled into the woods, it gazes down on the corner, eyes empty and soulless. But that’s all changed. You didn’t see the moving van yourself, but everyone at school’s talking about it. There’s a new kid in town.


----------------------------------------------

Does this sound like it would be interesting?
