Appalachian Moon (W20)

About the adventure

Local legends from the Cherokee Indian Nation have long foretold of man's connections with animal spirits. Sometimes the spirits mete out the justice of nature. Sometimes they embody vengeance and it's mindless destructive power. Modern tales even speak of the disappearance of tourists and other travelers through this part of the mountains. These events seem to be somewhat timed to the cycle of the moon... to those keen enough to pay attention to the timing of these events. Nevertheless, it seems that something is odd in the area... to the locals anyway. The forest seems gloomier at night. It even seems the crickets are afraid to chirp. Ravaged bodies of black bear and mountain lion have been found, utterly mutilated and ravaged to bits and pieces. Whatever brought you to the area, camping... hiking... sight seeing... Whatever it is has put you in imminent danger... a danger that is quietly stalking you as prey, even though you are unaware. This game is set in current day. The themes associated with playing this system can be dark sometimes and may not be suitable for minors, therefore, this is an 18+ game only.

Gameplay details

The themes can vary based upon the joint agreement of the players. Once a game has been established, and group expectations have been set, those will continue to be used throughout the remainder of gameplay in this adventure. Players should feel free to ask questions, offer boundaries, etc. No "trolling" or any other activity that engenders a nature of hate or intolerance will be allowed or fostered in any game I run. Games set in the World of Darkness tend to be along dark, adult-based fantasy, and horror themed.
