Current folk horror/occult fans: somewhere I saw the label "loup gyaru" and that's either a typo, or an anime werewolf romcom that has a solid chance at being really funny. Like if you agree with the latter

the eternal struggle; RP Edition: None of the ideas going around interest me. My own ideas *only* interest me (mostly; some of y'all are cooler than you get credit for).

I am longer RickyG; Toad King was something my son called me when he was, like, 3, as a compliment. I was sitting on a stoop between some little toad statues or something, he thought it was cool.

Bio

Bios are stupid; oh, sure, everyone can see them, but I bet nobody reads them.

Rude hand gestures and shpadoinkle, there.

No, I wasn't drunk when I wrote this, but I was very tired.

Update: there is a character sheet!
Hey! Looking to build a group for a modern horror setting! Nothing specific, but, here's a thread that describes the setting- roleplayerguild.com/topics/181741-nig…

PM me if interested, or post your questions to the thread! Do be sure to read the thread in case a question has already come up and been answered!

NO character sheet, just show me an interesting, well thought out character (I still expect some kind of character sheet, I just don't have a format layed out/standardized... Yet)
I'm toying with a working title of "Escape from the Nightmare Zone", but that's rather... R.L. Stein of a title. I'll maybe use "Nightmare Zone" within the setting, es a description or label for the phenomenon that helps define affected areas, but it still has a campy feel, and I want it to be a little more serious.
if we can get minimum 4, maximum 6 players, and a co-gm, I think we'll have a game!
@KZOMBI3Cool! feel free to pm me, and we can discuss what you have in mind for your character. I assume you're looking to play, and not co-GM?
I'm interested in running a horror game in a setting where supernatural elements are overlapping with the "normal" world, but, unlike an Urban Fantasy setting, or other horror themed settings, this overlap is recent, and not constant. Thus, it's not necessarily a common knowledge fact that this is happening, but people are aware of it, to some extent or another. Society being the way it is, people are still very reluctant to acknowledge what's going on, but are unconsciously adapting, i.e., people have stopped going out at night, etc. (expect a mix of more traditional monsters like things that could be compared to current mythologies like vampires and werewolves, but also "cryptids"; more "modern" monsters like The Dover Demon, Sasquatch, Chupacabra, and all manner of things that simply haven't been given a name.

No high powered psychic abilities, but, maybe some low level stuff, like sensing emotions or reading surface thoughts, with a lot of concentration, maybe even the ability to consciously sense other minds, subtle things. No magic, just, people working with what skills and resources they have either to investigate what's going on, or just survive, depending on the role a player wants to take on and how the scenario plays out.

Players are encouraged to make use of tropes as a jumping point for building distinct characters, with some obvious caveats; Tropes are not stereo types, per se, I do want to see some actual character. On that note, embrace being someone who's good in particular situations, and maybe average at best in others; avoid the extremes of "Can only do one thing" and "capable of many things but good at precisely none of them". Other than that, give other players a chance, ok? No speed posting.

In order to help me manage this setting and scenarios, I'm also openly inviting a more experienced member of this site to offer assistance as a Co-GM, responsibilities including: brainstorming scenarios for the players, managing npc's, and helping make decisions on where to go with a story.

Any interest? go ahead and say so, here, and we can start discussing your character for the main thread, either OOC, or in a PM.
revisions taking place, trying not to rush this, but I really want the part!

Update: lots of revision, but, hopefully this is a more cohesive, coherent bio/background! Still came out kind of long, but, at least it all should fit together better.
@tobiax Now he does
@tobiaxNo worries. I've made some changes, his background is just a little more detailed, now, with some actual hints at personality this time :P and best of luck to my fellow applicants ^_^
