Screenname of the Proposed RPG’s Game Master: Byrd Man

Do You Have An Instant Messenger that we can reach you on for better conversation? (i.e MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ect.) And if so, what is your screenname?: [email protected]

Gamemasters/Assistant Gamemasters already chosen: Just me right now, I think I can do it by myself.

How will the overall layout of the RPG be?:
A short-term RPG with strict control by the GM when it comes to the games pace and timeline. Similar to SuperFerret's Tumbleweed RPG, the GM will be responsible for helping shape and craft the storylines, NPCing certain characters and help move the pace along if things get bogged down. The RPG will take place over the course of seven days and the GM will intersect events into the timeline, giving RPers things to react to as their characters.

Premise of RPG, if it is a user created RPG see below for applicable additions to this Applicaton, (Must be a paragraph or longer).

In the mountains of Northeastern Georgia sits the sleepy community of Pickett's Ridge. A tight-knit mill town that's seen much better days. While the town oozes small town charm and Southern Hospitality, the community is horrified in late February when hunters make a grisly discovery in the woods outside of town. The body of twenty-two year old Kristen Stephens is found, severely beaten. The murder is as baffling as it is brutal. Who was her murderer? And in a town where everyone knows everybody, what secrets will come to light when the investigation starts to air the town's dirty laundry? Everyone is a suspect, and nobody is really safe.

What will this RPG bring to the RPG forums? (please write two complete sentences):

This could be very intriguing indeed.......I do love a good murder mystery.
 
very interesting...I'm gonna keep my eyes on this one
 
I said I'd resist another murder mystery game.



But I was only fooling myself.
 
I have a list of townsfolk I'd like to see played for the game.

Sheriff (I was gunning for this one myself)
Deputy
Victim's father, mother, etc.
Victim's boyfriend
Victim's best friend
Mayor
Town newspaper editor/report

And there are other townsfolk I'll let others come up with along the way.
 
Sounds good to me. I assume we'll be constructing our own characters this time, not just playing as ourselves?
 
Yep. You just pick a role and run with it. Everything from your character's personality and backstory to looks and name.
 
So you are going to provide characters with backstories and personalities and we choose from there?
 
Depends on what folks want. I can whip all that up, but I also want folks to have some creative freedom if they choose to do that.
 
This seems very intriguing and i'm certainly interested:D
