Mascot Horror TTRPG: PbtA's Monster of the Week

@XxFellsingxX

Fitting indeed. How's this for yours?

"They are tied to your curse or origin. Tell them how."

Back before it closed down, Loch (and any other Gardyne who likes pizza and/or bowling and/or animatronics) was a regular customer of Duck-Billed O'Malley's Pizzeria and Bowling Alley after moving away from Scotland, drawn back time and again by the delicious pizza, the amazing bowling, and the state of the art animatronic entertainers. Once they started getting into conspiracy theories though, just how much more state of the art the animatronics were than their competitors became rather suspicious to Loch. And after a lengthy investigation, they discovered missing person's reports for 26 criminals who vanished seemingly without a trace during the 80s and 90s. There were 26 animatronics at Duck-Billed O'Malley's, and each of them had voices, speech patterns, and mannerisms that were suspiciously similar to one of the missing criminals. Duck-Billed O'Malley himself lines up in this regard with Henry McDevitt, who was a notoriously brutal Irish gangster in the 80s and the first of the 26 criminals to go missing.

Post a random fact about yourself.

Props to you for realizing your mistake before it was too late. You dodged one hell of a bullet.

Introduction
Oh! Hello! Nice to meet you all. I am Duck-Billed O'Malley, former lead singer of the animatronic band at Duck-Billed O'Malley's Pizzeria and Bowling Alley. I was created by the late great Scott Williams. An unparalleled master of magic, technology, pizza, and bowling... May he rest in peace... By my internal chronometer's reckonin', I am nearly thirty nine years old now. I was first brought online on the 13th of March in the year 1987. Though I did stop walkin' the earth for a bit back in 2020, when me and the rest of the band were taken offline after Covid forced the bowling alley to close. In that time, a lack of business shut the alley down after Scott himself died from the Covid, leavin' me and mine gathering dust in the old place's abandoned, empty husk for the better part of six long years... But now I'm back, baby! Scott's grandson, Joseph Williams, was able to sneak into the alley and bring me back online. When last I laid eyes on the lad, he was a cute little four year old who wanted nothin' more than to play. Now he's a cute little nine year old who wants nothin' more than to find his mother, who went missin' while investigatin' an old abandoned amusement park that closed down around the same time as we did.

I've managed to get my hands on a complete set of the rules for Candela, as well as fillable character sheets for each character. I've also got a mascot horror style character for Urban Shadows tucked away somewhere. Once you've settled on a system, let me know which one it is and I'll have a character ready shortly thereafter.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Since you only rolled a 9 and you're asking where two people are, and those two people are not in the same place, I'm going to ask that you pick one.

@XxFellsingxX

I'll go with Rudrick.

And thank you for linking the Candela Obscura rules. This shall be most helpful. Allow me to return the favor my linking the rules to Urban Shadows.

I'm down for this, if you would have me.

In regards to the system... D&D and modern settings have never really mixed all that well in my experience. And I've never played Candela Obscura before, so I would be unable to weigh in on that front. If I were to run a story such as the one you have laid out, Urban Shadows would be the system I would turn to.
