Psychological Lovecraftian Horror set in early 2000's

[daredabble]

Inspired by Kollok 1991, Stranger Things and Monument Mythos, this RP will be taking place in a fictional town of Brookhaven, Mississippi. The internet was still growing its roots and technology was advancing quicker than ever.

In this town lies a deep conspiracy, resulting in mysterious disappearances, monsters in the woods and urban legends. A group of teens (our protagonist) go missing for weeks before they are found unconscious in the woods. When they awake, the town and its people are slightly different from before they woke up in the woods. Buildings were there shouldn't be, names spelt wrong, whole states and countries not existing, internationally famous people they haven't heard at all.

They seek to uncover the mystery of their strange new world and discover and unleash beings beyond comprehension.

Man I can relive my childhood AND investigate weird shit, tentative interest my friends because I miss being a kid between 2000 to 2009. Blockbuster exists in your rp tho right?

However i could play a teen, but i'd rather play an adult.

@Steel Legion

But you'd be nostalgic for the 80's. I mean...wait the 80's were awesome. Nvm.

I mean, kids going insane from the mythos and unable to apply shotgun to shoggoth is somewhat of a sticking point.

Behold, a froggoth!

I'm interested in joining, but I'd like to know a little more about the RP. For now though, I'll just leave you with my interest and my RP experience:

*About 3 solid years of D&D 5e, a couple sessions of Pathfinder, and a session of Cyberpunk RED.
*I've got low to mid-level RP skills, though I'm more comfortable in a written/typed RP.
*Confident writer with some writing experience, though little narrative experience or skill.

@CDT0925 that's awesome! i feel a little underqualified now haha

i'm still working on the setting and overall plot and you're welcome to give suggestions if you want!

[CDT0925]

Worry not! I have confidence in your ability. Your initial post gives me much hope for an interesting RP. Out of curiosity though, will this use a game system, or is it more of a free RP?

Hahaha, I haz 4 years of 3.5 D&D, 2 years (regrettably) of 4th edition, 8 years of 5th edition. A bunch of Pathfinder sessions, a few AD&D sessions, several other TTRPG's I forget and all in my short lifespan of 24 years. Still tho good to see someone as active as I've been. :D

@CDT0925

thank you :D i was thinking major events/combat could use some altered 5e system and everything else would be mostly free rp. nothings really set in stone yet but i do want to incorporate some 'leveling up' mechanic or just get more stats based on what you do in the rp. example, if you're a bookworm and spend most downtime in the library, you'd gain more intelligence points or something like that.

have any of you seen roleplays that worked like this before? i still want to keep the casual/free aspect of it and make it easy for beginners to pick up

@daredabble

That sounds simple and fun to me. Admittedly, I haven't seen anything like that, but maybe there's a simple system for combat and progression we can use. Then the RP moments will just be free RP with no game mechanics. Sadly, I haven't a specific suggestion, but that would be cool.
