The game will use a hack of several pbta hacks of my own mixture that feels like it will feel right. It's a bit of an experiment in that the players will be creating much of the world, and the confines of the story. It's also an experiment because we're going to be trying to emulate film noir, in the vein of The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, The Asphalt Jungle, or any of the other numerous Article Adjective Noun black and white films of the early 20th century. That's not always an easy thing to do, as many movies since then have proved.
I'd like no more than four players. More would probably slow the pacing down some, as everyone follows their own storylines. The relationships between the characters will be a prime part of the story and the main source of drama, so be prepared to flesh that out before we begin.
I don't foresee any adult content - that sort of stuff was often the cause of the plot, but was almost never part of it (that's censorship for you, kid).
This is not an extended campaign and the game deliberately controls the length of the game, much like a director does a movie. I will be attempting to post at least three times a week, and I shoot for once per day M-F, but this can be interrupted by work since I am pretty much on call at all times. I have a discord channel that is optional but that will help immensely with communication when I do not have time to sit down at a computer.
I am looking for players that like to write for this game. Evocative prose and snappy dialogue are staples of noir. You don't have to be perfect at this; I know I'm not. But that's what we're aiming for.
This game is noir so is inherently not friendly to anyone (see the intro), but is also not explicitly unfriendly to LGBT or any other minorities or marginalized groups.
Please apply HERE, and if possible, also let me know which role you're interested in. They're listed in the game details.
Did I cover everything? I think I covered everything. If I didn't, feel free to ask.
