Current Sorry for my lack of posts lately. I've just... been struggling to get the energy to write something up. I'm trying some new meds through so hopefully that will change soon.

The pictures were taken, the reception was surprisingly lively if somewhat one sided; The citizens of Halloween Town knew how to throw a party to celebrate a happy occasion, even if ordinary people would find the event somewhat... unnerving at best. Plus the food had to be separated onto two different tables for those with... special diets, a practice that had become standard during mixed company after the dreaded 'Virgin Bloody Mary' incident.

However, all good things had to come to an end.

Standing in what was going to be their honeymoon room, John sighed a little as he turned to look at his new wife with... something of a look of resignation on his face and a drop of his shoulders. "Look. I know what's expected of us and I just wanted you to know that we don't actually need to have sex to have offspring." Giving this statement a moment to sink in, he decided to explain the revelation "The undead don't require intercourse to have offspring. We tend to favor... other methods when we wish to produce children and when the time comes I'll be happy to explain the process. I bring it up because..." A small sigh escaped him as John looked away. "I'm not going to force you into doing something you're not interested in doing."

"We'll just have to see how things go then." 'John' answered, glancing over at what might have been yet another round of drama from the red flag couple and the innocent bystanders. Thankfully before the situation could devolve further, the school bell rang and heralded the start of the school year!

"Speak of the devil... Guess we'll find out sooner rather then later, won't we?" 'John' said with surprising good cheer as he started to walk towards the doors of the building. Hopefully things would improve during the day!
Khaz is kicking the crap out of people gathering witnesses and giving them to people better suited to talking to them.
@RainbowFactory

Yeah, I'm still lurking around. Kind of waiting for the bell to start and the school day to begin.
Okay, I'll try and get a thread up in the next day or so.
@User

We're still going. Just looking to see how many people would be interested is all.
@Sevik

No point. It seems that the spam has been cleared away.

I'm starting to suspect that the reason this idea hasn't gotten more interest is due to the flood of junk filling the general interest thread.
"One's demise is always one's own making."

Rather recently I came across an interesting idea for a game and I wanted to see how many people were interested in giving it a shot. The idea is that the players work together at the start of the game to create a horror story antagonist by first deciding if they want it to be a Slasher (Serial Killer), Monster or Natural Disaster. After that selection, they get to establish the rules on what their antagonist has to operate by. This can include powers, weaknesses, ect. For example the antagonist of the game I first saw this tried with was a bloodthirsty ghost who could only attack (and basically instant kill) someone while they were in darkness; As long as someone had enough a source of light that lit up their immediate area just brightly enough, the ghost couldn't actually attack them even if both of them were in the same room and looking at each other. The ghost in question could also be harmed and driven off with iron, through it wouldn't actually kill it.

Once the antagonist and their rules have been set up, the antagonist becomes the sole property of the narrator (In this cause, myself) and the players get to create their own characters. Just normal humans who are just on the verge of having the worst (and possibly last) day of their lives. Once the players have their character, the game begins. This is a game of decisions and the players will get to decide what they do every step of the way. The goal is to survive in a horror movie where tropes have a great deal of power and the powers that be are brutal and unforgiving.

Like all horror stories, there is a very real chance that everyone will die due to the fact that things will be heavily stacked in favor of the antagonist. In the event that there is only one player character still alive, that last character will gain... something of a buff. Exactly what shape that buff will take varies but it'll be something that will even the playing field between the player and the antagonist they are up against quite a bit; That doesn't mean that they will win, but it'll give them a fighting chance.

I'm still working on some of the finer details, but what do people think so far?
