“What brings you to Starkhaven?” is the first question most hear when they stumble into the strange town off the coast of Maine.
It’s a good question. The only way into the town is by ferry and its population mostly keeps to itself. But for someone down on their luck, Starkhaven often seems too good to be true in the world they find themselves in. For the last one-hundred-and-eighty-two years the historical society, in league with some of the oldest families in Starkhaven, have offered refuge to families nationwide through a raffle. A raffle that when won, families are offered a vacation to the quaint Maine town with their airfare spent-and-paid for. For many, it is a breath of fresh air from their lives.
Two weeks in a cozy little small town where they will be greeted by the Mayor and afforded lodging in a quaint New England Hotel? Why not? Unfortunately, most who get the infamous invite to Starkhaven soon realize that what the town is after isn’t new clientele or residents. It is playing an entirely different game. A most dangerous one. Of those asked to participate in Starkhaven’s most illustrious game and win the greatest prize of all, well, nobody has ever won it. Starkhaven has always won, one way or another.
Could you or your family be the first to win it all?

With this said, who might be interested?
If so, feel free to field me questions as needed. I am trying to get back in a writing space and I feel like this might be the best mode to do so.

This RP is:
- An open RP for application.
- A group RP that mixes slice-of-life and survival horror beats to create a hopefully entertaining experience.
- A singular, narrative design that starts off with a micro-sandbox until the first day ends and the game begins.
- Of writing expectations; somewhere in the longform, descriptive prose. No one-liners.
- A communally built experience where input is taken in the process for the greater good of the RP.
