Case: Amnesia Town (PBtA)
 |
This is a scenario for the City of Mist RPG¸ compatible with the Core Books bundle which includes the Player's Guide and the MC Toolkit Amnesia Town
A Nightmarish Case of Government Conspiracies in Sleepy Suburbia
In the tranquil suburb of Happyville¸ a Rift capable of turning nightmares into reality¸ has been causing enough death and chaos to galvanize the Gatekeepers to intervene. However¸ the women and men in gray are at a loss¸ following protocol rigidly yet playing into the hands of this Rift's demented plan. When the crew arrives¸ Happyville never seemed more peaceful yet was never as far from what it seems...
Amnesia Town plays like a classic "government cover-up in the suburbs" case. It draws from the Hollywood image of the Cold War era in the United States¸ when fear of communist spies was so great that anyone was a potential suspect and everyone kept up the appearance of being just swell.
On the surface¸ Happyville is overtly pretty and perfect¸ almost saccharine - a combination of the local disposition and the dulling effects of the heavy Mist cover in place¸ which turned people into dim-witted¸ forgetful¸ constantly-self-medicated Barbie dolls.
This case is built and narrated as such¸ to emphasize the gap between the fake¸ flawless exterior of Happyville and that palpable and very ominous feeling that behind it all lies a deranged¸ horrible truth...
City of Mist is a comic-book film-noir RPG¸ where you play ordinary individuals with legendary powers and hit the streets of a haunted modern-day city in search for answers. With a simple but powerful narrative game system and unique character motivation and evolution mechanics¸ City of Mist will let you experience just what happens when everyday life on the streets awakens to unfathomable mythical forces from within.
