It helps us out a lot.)
The scene is the early '90s - every radio is playing grunge, every movie is about goth vampires, and every dark alley is full of crime and recreational substances. Against that backdrop, you are… uh, actually your identity is a little hazy at the moment. But one thing seems clear - you and a few other flawed souls are in for a complicated night.
In this one-shot we'll play The Real Thing, a narrative RPG about the dark paranoia of the early 90s (and loosely inspired by the music of Faith No More). The rules are essentially PBTA - light on mechanics, nothing to learn, and you can expect to play an active role in the storytelling.
Zero preparation! Please bring a general idea of what sort of character you’ll play, and maybe a pencil. If you’d like to prepare beyond that, you could watch The Crow or read something by Anne Rice (of course while listening to some FNM).
Content: this RPG is made for dark themes - flawed people in a world of drug use, violence, and trauma. That said, my games are inclusive and we'll use standard ways of avoiding content players aren’t comfortable with.
