DESCRIPTION:
In this game, you'll take on the role of everyday people who have voluntarily committed themselves to a psychiatric care facility. They suffer from realistic disorders, the kind which can be managed with care and medication, such as self-harming, eating disorders, depression, panic attacks, and bipolar disorder. Things had gotten too difficult at work or home, and you realized you needed some short-term in-patient help.
The opportunity was presented to move to a newly constructed special facility, and it was a step up from your current hospitals. It looks fancy from the outside, but inside is a special breed of hell.
You'll need to keep secrets, out others, and keep on your toes to survive. Characters are allies of convenience, so the people you're with may not really be friends, and may hold secrets which shock you. Characters will die, but there are opportunities for players who have perished to continue to actively partipate. Will you choose your death or will it be chosen for you? Will you be the one who survives to see it through?
There will be prep before the game, in which you'll have to read your character information and be present to it for the game. This won't be a problem with this group.
Given the subject matter, there may be a variety of triggers or potentials for upset. For example, you may have watched someone suffer from cutting or an eating disorder, and that pain is very real, even if treated with respect. If you have concerns, but are interested in playing, please contact me so we can make sure the game doesn't include any for you. We will be playing with X-cards, just in case.
Wear comfortable clothing, because you'll be moving around. If you have any physical restrictions to mobility, please let me know ahead of time so I can accommodate them.
COVID PROTOCOLS:
Since I was at Gen Con, wherein 6 of 8 people in my room came down with Covid (fortunately, I was not one of them), I'd prefer if we followed some best practices regarding minimizing potential transmission. If you've been sick within a week of the convention, please take a rapid test to make sure you're not bringing an unexpected guest with you.
