The premise of this RP is that The Old Gods Of Evil have been summoned to Earth in the year 1999, just prior to Y2K. The game would be filled with tropes from 1970-2000. Player "classes" and thus their skills and abilities would come from character archetypes of characters from 1970-2000, as would be the villain's archetypes.
I got this idea from Stranger Things coming out, also, there's a game called Kingdom of Night that heavily inspired this idea, where a horde of demons overwhelms the small town of Miami, Arizona, in the year 1987, and the main character becomes an action RPG character.
This game will have original characters, only with actual cameos or whatever from old tv shows and other media, etcetera here and there. I'll try to have it make sense to the setting as a whole. For example, Lovecraftian horrors might work, but actually having Skeletor, or Muum'Ra, for example, wouldn't, this is it's own setting. Instead, I might introduce a skeletal wizard I'll name "Skeletra" for example.
In the small town of Big Rock, Maine, the unassuming elderly man, Leland Grant, has opened a brand new store called "Fancy Things". Your character, whether on vacation, whether they are a local, or are just passing through, meet each other in Big Rock. Maybe they've bought something from Mister Grant, maybe they're noticing the very weird situations going on in Big Rock. The point is, something WEIRD is going on. At first, you are just ordinary people, but when something very terrible happens, and something even much worse ALMOST happens, you will be rescued just in the nick of time, and then you will be armed with what you need to make the world a better place.
You will be traveling from city to city, town to town, etcetera, solving problems, much like protagonists from Japanese Role Playing games. Sometimes you might be investigating situations or talking before you actually fight, sometimes you'll just have to fight.
