"de Profundis - Letters From The Abyss" - A Lovecraftian Game, Of Sorts

[BernieC]

I had been intersted from the start and had sent a letter out to one of the characters. Nothing came back and I suppose this died out before it really got started.

 

The Google drive is empty and the rule book was put into the users trash.

I would be interested in getting this going. Personal contact and character details could be handled quite easily through PM.

[BernieC]

i would still be interested if enough writers join in to make it worth while.

 

How would you promote the idea and what might I do to help?

One of the problems with DP is that too many correspondents bog down the "game." It can be done easily with two, but (in my experience, at least) 3 is probably closer to ideal. 4 can be done so long as there is serious commitment, but it can be problematic with keeping everyone in the loop (at the very least on an as-needed basis) and developing the plot trajectory.

If you're interested in a triad or quaternion, PM me. I think I know someone else who would probably be interested in this sort of epistolary adventure.

This is indeed, intriguing... I have played pen & paper RPGs since '85 or so, not at all active during the last decade though. Pray tell, this might be fun.

Has any consideration been given to the actual materials being sent via... wire, as a telegram or by other means electronic instead of the physical copies, you understand, to expedite things and guarantee delivery?

Also, this might be the safer option during this dreadful time, with that horrid fever ravaging the world outside the confines of our safe havens and homes.

The last I heard "it" had reached New Rochelle, with rumors whispered of strange things going on in the Big Apple proper. Ills of the body and mind, quite awful, if I may say so...

 

I pray that I hear from you all in good health.
