- Describe, at some length, the following:
• The genre of your game.
• A short (1-2 sentence) synopsis or ‘elevator pitch.’
• A longer, paragraph-long description.
• A statement about the purpose, and audience for your game. - List out short descriptions of the following:
• Key rules (no need to write them all out, but describe what they will cover)
• Audience details (play time, age range, interest groups, etc.).
• Material components (cards, pieces, boards, dice, core game system).
• Significant obstacles that you will have to overcome to do this.
My game is a module of the tabletop roleplaying game Call of Cthulu. In my module, the party is going to be tracking down a werewolf in the Louisiana bayou.
The party is going to be a group of mobsters sent to make a deal with the elusive Blanchard family of moonshiners. Once they make contact and are told to leave town, an attack on their car and a violent murder will keep the party in town as they investigate and slowly uncover the truth behind a string of violent attacks in town.
Like most Call of Cthulu modules this is going to be a horror, investigative based experience, but I especially want to appeal to fans of the Southern Gothic genre. I want my module to stand out from other mainly northern focused CoC modules.
As a Call of Cthulu module, my game will include information for both the game master and players, and should contain enough material for two to three sessions of decent length. I’m making this module for Call of Cthulu fans, especially those who are fans of Southern settings. As for material components, the module can be printed but besides that all people will need is dice.
Mainly I just am worried about everything being comprehensive together. I don’t want the mystery and investigation to be too obvious, but at the same time I want the party to feel smart as they uncover details and put everything together.
I just want everything done before the deadline.
