Description

It's the night after Christmas, the saddest time in a store toy's life, because you are still on the shelf, left behind for another year. It is a particularly sad night for the toys of oy Place (the T in the sign has never worked) because the store has closed for good, and all of the stock has been sold. But before the toys can start their new lives in their new homes they have to go through this night...

A submit your own character/toy game, from the people who brought you The Round and The Furry, Escape is a game entirely of soft toys using our Fuzzies Live system. Players will submit their own characters and bring their own toys to play. The game takes place in a toy store that has just gone out of business. All the stock has been purchased by either Super-Mega Toy Blasters, The Sweetness and Light Children's Charities, or the Dollar Dump (aka Waterdamage Warehouse). Every toy has been tagged, and the characters have just one night to exchange (by whatever means necessary) for the tags they want. They have formed three factions for mutual protection: the Aisle of Misfit Toys, Fortress Aisle, and Aisle 9 from Outerspace.

There may also be a visit from the Yellow Skulls Gang (they have been vandalizing the store for years and have gotten the "Toy Story" treatment for their trouble) and an encounter with the terrible Toy-Eating guard dogs next door. Also, those weirdos in aisle 9 have captured and armed a Soakerdyne 2KY AquaBeast (a soft toy's answer to a strategic nuke) but even they aren't crazy enough to ever fire it... are they?
