Hooded and bound, you await the harbinger of oblivion, the toll that heralds the end. Here in the Redemption, a place without hope where the hopeless are erased, your mind is a blur of images, a cacophony of echoes, as you try to make sense of it all: their bright armor, glinting in the sunlight where crimson robes parted; their stern voices, orders; the screams and cries of friends; your home in ruins; faces etched with shock and disbelief; iron masks spattered with blood; boots crushing faces in mud, kicking the life from innocence. No rhyme, no reason, just the machine. Time to let go. Time to die.
Forthcoming from Frog God Games, these are the opening scenes of Hereafter, the first chapter of Levee, an adult-oriented, nine-part adventure path set in Richard Pett's crooked horror-fantasy, The Blight, where the impossible, urban surrealism of Miéville is twisted into Dickensian nightmare.
The answer is, indeed, yes. Pre-generated characters will be provided and must be used in this game.
I'll hopefully be contacting each of the lottery winners in advance of the game to pre-select pre-gens and then get the character sheets to them. I'd like all players to have a chance to read them ahead of time and ask me any questions about the game.
The 18+ rating on this game is also there for a reason. As the blurb states, this is a game for adults in which all sorts of profanity and obscenity may be directed toward you, and various unfair and brutal things in bad taste may happen to your character. If any lottery winners are likely to find this Taste of the Blight not to their liking, they should contact me asap.
