It's been a while, but we are thinking about going back to our bread and butter and doing another Slice of Life game in the same manner as our trio of Sol City games that did well and ran about three years on here.

Mechanics will be basically the same, but for a different flavor, we're going to put the setting in the 1980's, probably late 80's. Naturally, it's going to be set in Florida so if you liked playing GTA Vice City and/or slice of life games in general then this will probably be your cup of tea.

CS will be simple as usual and we'll do a steadily moving time-skip with events/attractions for continuity. Those that played with us before know the drill. There will be a MAP of course to help with a sense of place and distance and players will be able to make locations as they like and contributions to the public/commercial landscape will be encouraged.

The main goal is to do something different and of course have fun. Our last three games did well because we kept it simple and just allowed plots and relationships to form naturally in the context of a unique setting. Doing things in the era of the 80's we think would add a neat spin to the game when there's basically no cellphones, computers are rare and life was much more local in general.

Oh, and basically everyone still smoked indoors.

You don't need to have grown up or lived in the time period to play, those that are old farts, like me (the rest of you know who you are), can provide some context, but there's more than enough information out there if you're curious, though we'll still probably put together a nice resources section to help get your creativity flowing.

So let us know what you think!

The 80s had the best music, best movies, and the best fashion statements.

I actually did live through the 80s. Whenever I play "Song Quiz" on my Echo dot, the 80s are my best decade. I'm in.
I do well with the 60s and 70s too. Can't wait to get back to watching Cheers and ST:TNG. LOL

Still room for plenty more.

I just sent out the discord links if you're interested. Maybe have the OOC up this weekend, get everyone going on a CS before we post the rest. Most of the big pieces are nearly finished.

Alrighty, I'll send out some more discord invites when I get home for those that want to join the chat.

Normally when we run a game we use both OOC and discord regularly so no worries if it's not your cup of tea.

If anyone is planning on playing a Detective, I got an idea for a character, I'd like to play as their Snitch.

I’ll need to do a bit of gauging before I can come up with a solid character myself. I have a few basic ideas at the moment I could build on.

So - two reporters and a snitch so far…

Would a crooked police officer/detective or a con artist fit into the equation?
