The year is 1935.

The city of New Orleans is a paradox.

On one hand, it is among the most effervescent settlements in the West. The city pulses with an unmistakable rhythm — a song sung by Frenchmen, Spaniards, Africans, and Caribbeans, all harmonized by the American South. Its culture echoes loudly throughout the US; jazz and blues, color and cuisine, festivity and hedonism.

On the other, the city is among the most poverty-stricken in the country. The wounds of the Great Depression fester on, suffocating the poor and marginalised, while draconian Jim Crow laws continue to enforce malicious racial segregation. The Prohibition has been repealed, but its rot lingers, soaked into the city’s bones. Speakeasies governed by gangsters remain havens for villains and crooks, and underground black-markets continue to fence illicit wares, with cocaine and opiates running particularly rife. The city government is a blunt blade, ill-equipped to combat the chaos, plagued by malfeasance and political intimidation.

Beneath it all, ‘neath the fog-heavy bayous and the perfume of magnolias, something fiendish and ancient lurks. The city’s soul is tangled in the unseen. In shadowed backroom parlors, mediums whisper to the dead, rootworkers cast bones for the desperate, and voodoo priests commune with the arcane. But what watches from within, beneath it all, compares not to any common witch doctor or conjurer, for it imperils the New World en masse. And it already knows your name.

𝔏’Épitaphe takes inspiration from film noir, gothic horror and dark romanticism.

Given the genres at play, moral ambiguity will likely ensue – but I expect players to be sensitive and careful when dealing with certain topics (particularly in relation to race and religion). Nonethless, core themes will include the corruption of man, cynicism, and the decay and ruin seen in poverty-stricken America.

While supernatural and occult themes will be central, this is not a dark fantasy. There are no dragons or wizards here; 'magic', for lack of a better word, is mysterious and ritualistic. I'm eager to preserve pseudo-realism; witches act with subtlety and secrecy, and monsters will lurk only in the darkest corners of civilisation. In this world, the existence of the paranormal is fairly common knowledge, though not everyone will have had a supernatural experience, and the breadth of occultism may be downplayed and scoffed at by the masses.

So long as the players and I are all on the same page, I'd love to worldbuild collaboratively, especially when exploring the limitations and consequences of the supernatural existing in this time period. However, I'd like to keep an element of mystery to the game itself — so I will be GMing in a way that keeps certain information withheld from players. I also encourage players to withhold backstory elements from one another, so to make reveals more satisfying. One of the reasons I'm only going to be running with a smaller group is to foster a more interesting party dynamic that can hopefully intertwine with the mystery.

In-depth historical knowledge is not at all important. However, the RP should *feel* authentic — and I think doing bits of research here and there on the time and location are part of the fun. We can toy with details as much as we like, but I'd like to strive to create the veneer of historical accuracy.

The characters of this story have one common trait: they caught the attention of one Dr. Virgil Lamberth during his worldly travels. An English antiquarian and scholar of occultism, Lamberth was a well-respected figure for his extensive study of the supernatural. For whatever reason, you left an impression on him — perhaps he was a lecturer in your University, or an old colleague, or perhaps you simply shared a drink with one another in passing many years ago. Whatever the case, he seems to consider you a vital piece of the puzzle in braving the shadowy morass of New Orleans in his stead.
