Weirdville Mysteries

RPG system: Cypher System
Participants: 10 players

By

✏️Henrik Lerdahl

Description

There's a small-ish town where weird stuff keeps happening now and then. And a bunch of people keep investigating and dealing with whatever pops up. They solve the problem so that the town can go back to normal . . . . until next week's weird problem happens.
..
So there's the teenager who keeps investigating mysteries, there's the FBI agent who deals with things that the rest of the bureau won't believe in, the mad scientist who tries to understand the unexplainable, a Neanderthal who crashed his time machine here, and the 9-year old girl who rules the local book-club with a blood-soaked fist. These are the player characters.
..
This is a simple homage / ripoff of various TV-series & books like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Fringe, Supernatural, X-files, Haven, Teen Wolf, Twin Peaks, Smallville, Sanctuary, "Welcome to Night Vale", Warehouse 13, Nancy Drew, Scooby Doo, The Hardy Boys, and many, many more.
..
We have several stories all featuring the same characters, so if you've played this with us before at a different convention, then you can still sign up and play here without it being the same scenario you've tried before.
..
The "Cypher system" is a generic version of the rules from the earlier games "Numenera" and "The Strange". Very simple and beginner-friendly. The game may be played in either Norwegian or English, depending on the group's preferences.
