| Somewhere near the state lines of North Carolina and Tennessee - about twenty minutes off of highway forty - lies the small town of Pines Holler. Pines Holler is the sort of small town that people see only on TV. Secluded, small, old, rotting, historic, and a little sad. Everything seems to be covered in a permanent layer of dirt and grime. What started out as a mining town has been all but forgotten by their neighbors; the little fame they have left fading with the paint on the sign for the shut down cotton mill. Infrastructure is crumbling, jobs are sparce, and the cost of living keeps rising. Despite the hand they have been dealt in life, the locals of Pines Holler still cling to hope - the same hope that has kept the people in the hills going for generation after generation. Most of them clung to that hope right up until last month. Parton's Lumber Company handed out the last paychecks, and then informed everyone that they were locking the doors for good. Those who were lucky enough to have a good paying local job are now unemployed unless they want to work at the bar or Dollar General. Parton's closing their doors is just one thing on the long list of things that are now truly threatening Pine's Holler. CEO's, land development corporations, realtors - they've all been closing in on Pines Holler for the last few years. Driving up the cost of living, taking jobs from the area and moving them elsewhere, and polluting the land of surrounding towns and counties. Now they're here, doing the same exact thing, in a place that no one hardly knows exists anymore. Will the people of Pines Holler let themselves be ran from their family homes due to corporate greed? |
Hello again, citizens of RPG.
What I have before you is a pretty straightforward SoL concept. Small, dying, Appalachian town based out of Western North Carolina. We'll be following our characters as they handle the good and bad of day to day life in their small community of Pines Holler. This will be a sandbox style RP that heavily relies on character interaction while I, your GM, throw random plot devices at you and said characters.
Now, let me make it clear that we aren't playing wealthy characters. This go around, I'm offering you a chance at your wildest white trash dreams.
Feel free to read on and join us.
