If this thing goes long term, multiple threads will be put up to represent different parts of the mansion, from the bedrooms to the gardens. While there is only one place is off limits to the guests, certain places will be more disturbing than others to explore.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Areas of the Mansion</span><br/>Trophy Room<br/>The Ballroom and Balcony<br/>The Garden Maze<br/>Private Rooms and Hallways<br/>Basement Level<br/>Kitchens<br/>The Master's Quarters and Office (off limits)<br/><br/>The world outside of the mansion: rumors said that it was once a paradise, but now is nothing more than a frozen wasteland. This is the only remnant of the world that once was here, in between all the other worlds.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Plot:</span>The house allows the masquerade to continue while it searches for a potential master, someone with enough power and will to control something beyond time in age. It was once a home of gods, who it was said danced and sang worlds into existance. This way we have the potential end to the plot so that it doesn't just whither and die, but it's open ended enough to keep things from being too linear.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Theme:</span>Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series and the video game series "Kingdom Hearts", the idea of multiple worlds, all connected to each other at one point in time. While right now those connections are weak, they are just strong enough to allow others to travel to points in between the worlds. Note that I'm not taking anything directly from the aforementioned series.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Mood:</span>A very gothic feel to the roleplay. Not gothic as in angsty, but more along the lines of Edgar Allen Poe, my absolute favorite author. I won't go over the top with the gore, though if someone dies, their exit will be portrayed accordingly. Personal madness, paranoia, with a touch of supernatural, love, hatred, all swirled together in this tale of a dance at the end of all worlds.<br/><br/>Lastly, even though I am the GM of this story, please,<span class="bbc_u">please</span>give me suggestions and ideas. This is the part I enjoy most about a group game, working together with people to create the story. I do not want to run this as a linear adventure plotline, but for me to do that, I need everyone's help. Comments and suggestions are encouraged, and even if I don't use your idea, I will not degrade it or you!
