Old and first community here.
It was moved this year to here.Used to be a "spooky jamjar" game, but is now more crack/slice-of-life set in a city called "The City." Deities kidnap characters and make them go through periodic curses.
This game provides examples of:
- Alternate Universe - Possible with several different curses and events, including:
- A Road Not Taken - Cursed characters are changed based on whether they made a different life-altering choice.
- The Years That Never Were - What would have happened if a character's life was changed due to events outside their control.
- Another Dimension - The setting for the game. The City also has its own in the form of the Shadow City, which also doubles as a Pocket Dimension.
- Back from the Dead - Characters who have died in canon can be played in the game and characters who die within the game are revived in an undead state; both are known as City dead. Also applies to curses that carry death exemptions, where killed characters are revived afterwards without consequences.
- De-power - Although not strictly enforced, it is requested that very powerful characters be toned down in order to keep the game relatively fair.
- Flat "What" - Uttered by every character during some absurd situation. Which at the moment has gone over 9000.
- Race Against the Clock- In a much more indirect way. The clock counts down to the end of all worlds.
- Sinister Subway - The Midnight Express Train event. Characters trapped on a nightmarish train couldn't leave until the event was over, while mysterious and bloody murders took place in various compartments.
