Thread 96896825

What happened to that original road trip horror idea that an anon came up with weeks ago?
All I recalled from the thread was:
>Giant ominous highway that never seems to end
>encountering wild monsters, cryptids, towns, etc
>somehow go to Hawaii, Alaska, Europe, etc.
>Ghost Car, anomalous cars and drivers, the running man
>Reasons why the players would stay would be because of being obsessed journalists getting big pay
Can we continue the idea?

>>96896825 (OP)
Gee, if only you could use 4plebs or any other archive, find that thread and read it, instead of making this thread...
And then bump the idiocy of it for the next 3-5 weeks, ofc

Holy newfag

>>96896825 (OP)

>Write an adventure
What's left for anyone to do for you, you fucking hatchling?

Dead internet? Content farmers? Actual morons?

>>96896825 (OP)
Who cares? You're never going to use it in a game. You won't reply to this or any post in the thread and you're not a real person.

God forbid we have a discussion about traditional games on this board.

>>96898650
Are you discussing anything at fucking all yourself?
Or bitching when people call you out for your aimless thread about nothing in particular?

>>96897745
The roadtrip idea was coherent enough to make me think that OP was actually thinking about it as an actual campaign idea, but he only had the rough outline, and wasn't sure if he could develop it from there. Talking to /tg/ about how to expand on and get the most out of ideas didn't used to be so rare, but it is now. Mostly because people get drowned out between the dozens of "tell me about the last sandwich your character ate" kind of threads, which are legitimately about nothing and very much exist to spoof activity and make this place look less dead.

>>96898650
You can start discussing traditional games at any time but you have yet to actually do so.

>>96898764
>>96896825 (OP)
Feels like a great excuse to do fully-episodic games, where you can fill seats with 'hitch-hikers' and do monsters of the week, small towns, wasteland expanses, camping, scarcity problems.
I actually started watching Supernatural recently, and it's shit, but it might be good as a model.

>>96899009
Consult Small Towns, the tail end of the period when /tg/ was still making games.
I can repost it in about 2-3 hours, when I will get home

>>96898764
It also doesn't help that every halfway decent thread gets drowned out by the same dickheads that are shitting up this one.

>>96899009
I think Monster of the Week is maybe the ideal system to use for something like this.

>>96898764
It really shouldn't be difficult to describe the last meal your character ate in your game, if you actually have one.

>>96897673
>>96897745
Gee I just wanted to see more of this with people hanging out on here, assholes.
>>96898764
See your onto something. I’m not even the OP like last time with this, I just liked the thread premise and see what you’ll could do.
>>96899009
Oh also a fellow supernatural hater, welcome. You watched the one with the wishing coin?
>>96899104
I’ll be waiting

Im gonna be frank. This sounds like more of the same lame liminal space/back room/empty hl2 level creepy stuff the kids think is cool.

>>96903016
You think...
You must be dead inside.
You need to make the outside dead too.

>>96903016
So? Remove the faggy SCP monsters and those things are cool.

>>96903016
4channers only decided it sucked because the kids liked it more and anons fucking hate popular things. It's not like it wasn't invented here lol

Honestly, if I wasn't so busy with school and work and my own RPG, I would absolutely develop it.

>>96903016
>>96903348
>>96903393
>>96903404
True scp haters, I get it.
Also alright, what would you guys come up with? I mean this could still work but we need to rework it?

>>96903404
Popular things are bad and should be hated.

>>96902996
faggot

>>96902996
>Gee I just wanted to see more of this with people hanging out on here, assholes.
You could start by contributing something yourself, instead you made this thread expecting others to do so for your entertainment and now you're pissy that they're not.

>>96904534
Every weird place has an exit. There's no jumpscare monsters that run really fast and scream at you. The Long Road is governed by a certain sort of dream logic, though someone may not understand it at first. There are maybe a few old travelers who have passed through some parts of the Road, but there's no organization or agency or business that is attempting to monetize the weird road trip zone.

>>96903016
>can't just enjoy something because it reminds him of stupid internet memes living rent free in his head
Sad.

>>96905766
Sad that you have shit taste, yes.

weren't anons working on something like this about 'the gas station': middle-of-nowhere petrol station where weird shit happens? Unknown Armies kinda thing?

>>96896825 (OP)
I piss in the gas tank and set the car on fire

>>96906520
It was called Night Shift and that was 10 years ago.

>>96907353
Then if it's like most projects on this board, it should just barely be reaching the preliminary planning stage.

>>96907500
are you a retarded faggot? it's finished.

>>96896825 (OP)
no waaaay what if the spooky dooky empty road made you cum through your pants? aaaaargh galagalagalagala niggerundayo smokey

>>96907664
lol cope

>>96902996
>Supernatural
I stumbled across an open directory, took the first three eps, and it was down before I decided I was willing to suffer through more of it.
I've not even watched the third episode, to be honest, but the framing conceit seemed workable, and MotW shows like that, Buffy, X-Files, Fringe etc. are decent Delta Green fodder.

>>96906520
>>96907353
>>96905195
Night Shift was happening before I was into that sort of UA/DG stuff, it just seemed like a lot of "wouldn't it be fun if weird stuff happened?"
I think this 'Long Road' idea is a lot more gameable, you can do different social feelings and biomes and shit, and you don't have the classic dungeon design problem of "why don;t the orcs in room 4 just kill the bears in room 6?"

>>96907664
Finished as in completed as a system of scenario book? Or as in dead and abandoned?

>>96905109
Hmm is it because they’re assholes and I just want to talk about something that might’ve been forgotten forever? Hmmmmm?
>>96905195
>>96908469
This is very good, Delta Green and Supernatural as ideas for it for the foundation and basis.
Long Road btw, I like the name. But Long Roaders?
And the night shift, is it Stephen King we’re talking for that or? Cause I also love the dream logic and could work on surrealism somehow crashing with realism for a solid story.

Maybe have this be a Mouth of Madness with Azathoth being responsible, tie it in with the delta green roots?

Sounds like a great idea!

>>96911518
So you aren't going to contribute anything?

>>96906520
>hurry up anon we have to get there before the sun gets below the horizon. faster! faster!
>gas stations are always deserted except for other road trippers
>lights at the gas station flicker on as dusk approaches
>supernatural horrors lurk in the dark outside those little islands of light in the darkness

sounds pretty comfy desu, maybe would work well with CoC or something

>>96911518
Night Shift, as in the /tg/ project, which you could have figured out just from reading the thread, gpt-san.

Night Shift is a lot of fun for one-shots. We played several and tweaked it to our liking too. It's an awesome little thingie that /tg/ made.

>>96912882
I can contribute using 10D, we ain’t doing 6D that’s for sure.
>>96918228
Sorry fuck man.
>>96918390
You guys played in the quest board or what then?

>>96918228
>Night Shift, as in the /tg/ project
That's a terrible name for anything connected to 4chan.

>>96918390
didn't some youtubenigger take this and sell it?

>>96919503
Night at the 4/11?

>>96919636
What about Kum & Woe?

>>96919503
Why?

>>96919532
Obviously. What do you think the point of 4chan is?

>>96921188
judging from their image, I'm going to assume they mean because of the Japanese animation Yakin Byoutou, known in English as Night Shift Nurses

>>96903016
I think that stuff is more comfortable than it is scary.

>>96896825 (OP)
I saw but didn't get to read much of the old thread. Are we just spiralling ideas that fit the concepts or are we actually trying to work on a setting and/or system? If a system, is it bespoke or a hack? Is it intended for one shots of spooky fun or longer form games?

Anyway, here's an idea I'm stealing from a friend from a game he ran. A farmstead where the residents are caught in some time-bullshit, weeping angel from Doctor Who style. They aren't statues, they're just frozen in time when you look at them. But from their perspective, everything still moves as normal, so to them outsiders are the weird ones (they don't trigger the effect on each other) who look, move, and sound human (when you can't see them but they can see you) but can suddenly turn into indistinct blurs (as what you see as them frozen in time is but an instant from their perspective because they don't experience being frozen).

You could also take it the other way. You don't turn into indistinct blurs and they experience all the time frozen at normal speed, but they think you're the supernatural threat or witches or some shit because you can freeze them in place with but a look.

>>96901454
That isn't a question anyone who actually plays games cares about at all. it's not even a topic of discussion. It's just vapid prattle to make the board look like it isn't dead, largely done by people who are suspiciously incapable of holding a real conversation about real hobbies that they actually have an engage in.

>>96901454
Goodberry.
