The Drowned Bell
The Pitch:
The drought has stolen the lake, revealing secrets long buried beneath its waters. Among the cracked earth and skeletal ruins, a bell tower rises, its rusted form defying time. At dusk, the bell rings, though no wind stirs its motion, and strange lights flicker across the desolate expanse.
The villagers, once blessed with peace and prosperity, now live in fear as the land withers and neighbors vanish without a trace. Desperation drives them to seek help from wandering souls with sharp wits and steady resolve.
What calls from the depths of the lakebed? What stories lie etched into its ruins? Will your choices restore balance, or awaken something best left forgotten?
This adventure takes place in medieval America around 1500 or so and will combine elements of creeping dread, moral uncertainty, and the thrill of discovery; ideal for players seeking an eerie and engaging journey.
The System: Tiny Cthulhu which emphasizes flexible and efficient gameplaying, leaving more room for an RP-heavy game. There will be a few minor changes in the rules to accommodate the PBP format and time period. I can provide pregens if you don't have the rules, and those are easily explained in a few paragraphs. 2d6's provide the basic mechanic.
The Length: Three months, maybe a little more.
When? I'm thinking mid-January to start.
Number of players? Three to four.
Posting Rate: Reliably three times/week.
