D23: The Hotel Elysium - Stairways

 

THE GRAND STAIRCASE

A wine stained royal red carpet flows down from gossamer white wooden steps that creak in the silence of the hall. Red velvet streamers are tightly wound along the railings like coiled snakes and a massive fraying banner suspended just below a tilted swaying chandelier says, “Welcome to The Elysian Solstice Jamboree”. The whole affair is dotted with more pastel glitter and confetti.

Leads from the Lobby to the Ballroom, Basement (Sealed), and the roof (Locked).

THE ADJUNCT STAIRWAYS

A lavish spiral staircase of hardwood with ivory railings decorated with gold leaf and more red carpet.

Leads to the guest floors and office wing.

THE STAFF CHANNELS

A large hall decorated spartanly with few chairs and one large globe shaped chandelier suspended above the Hotel Replica Repository. Large vacuum tubes similar to the luggage tubes worn their way through this room from all directions marked with numbers denoting floors.

Hotel Replica Repository. A dollhouse like recreation of the hotel affixed with numerous keyholes and pull apart pieces that allow one to insert a key in order to activate a tube allowing you to traverse quickly between floors.

Leads everywhere with the right keys and the right configuration of the hotel replica.

1-3 Going up? 4-6 Going down?

1 - A troupe of gold masked party goers giggle surreptitiously as they drag a squirming captive in a rolled up rug up to a guest room.

2 - Hobbes (Regardless of where the characters just saw him) is struggling with a comically large piece of luggage. Chance of dropping it on to whomever is below.

3 - A gunshot. Followed by a fleeing Resident holding a bag of Casino Chips with the Concierge in hot pursuit.

4 - A Siren along with a group of mind controlled servants looking for booze.

5 - A Thespian Wraith feigning distress to lure in new victims.

6 - A river of blood that will drown everything and everyone on the stairs.

Nemesis Systems Do(n't) Matter

Image
A weekly blog post?! Egad! Don’t look now but I may have actually beaten the rut. From my previous musings on adding modifications to the Underclock you may have seen my interest in the Stalker type enemy endemic to a lot of modern Survival Horror and how that type of foe seems like an obvious fit to way of handling random encounters. So I tried it and it felt a bit…crowded. I wanted lesser creatures that roamed between the buildings, environmental traps, and other dungeon delving horrors which took up quite a bit of space. Somehow I was also supposed to find a way to resurrect locality effects that I had missed from the overloaded encounter die. It was all just a bit much to also add in a chase sequence as an option on the list so I went back to the drawing board. I needed to separate the Nemesis (My big bad unstoppable beasty) from the Underclock without vastly increasing the cognitive load in running a complex hunter creature amidst all the other workings of my dungeon. Then I reme...

Liminal Blues: The Trouble(’s) With Fallout

Image
Today we’re going to be talking about Fallout in Liminal Horror arguably THE mechanic that makes the game what it is. For those not in the know Liminal Horror is a horror tabletop RPG based on the wide wonderful ruleset of Cairn which is also based on the NSR Ur-Text Into The Odd. It’s light but with enough tricks up its sleeve to make it both fun and spooky enough for The Thing in a Mall or Control: The Megadungeon. I’ve been running Liminal Horror for years now through campaigns, one-shots, dungeon crawls, and city wide investigations. I’ve run every one of the official adventures at least twice and just wrapped up the Parthogenesis of Hungry Hollow so you could say I’m a bit of a fan. What keeps me coming back to Liminal Horror over Call of Cthulhu, Kult Divinity Lost or World of Darkness which I have immensely enjoyed in the past is the game’s defining feature, Fallout. Fallout is how the game dodges problematic tropes of “mental illness bad” found in the games above by drawing in...

Liminal Survival Horror (Or Putting Resident Evil Anywhere I Can LH Edition) Part 1

Image
It will be no secret to anyone who’s played in my games or spared the slightest glance at my musings here that I’m a big fan of Survival Horror as a genre. So inevitably regardless of what system I’m currently playing we tend to inject some Resident Evil flavor at some point. Inspired by a blog post I saw a while ago (That I cannot find) I decided to take the old school Prima Strategy Guide for the original Resident Evil and use it as a framework to run it as an adventure using Liminal Horror. Now, I love Liminal Horror, its simple but extremely receptive to modification somehow able to hold strong regardless of how many layers of absurdity I add from whatever I’m reading that week. But, if I want to go full Resident Evil, and I do, I had need of a few extra widgets that the baseline lacks. Keep in mind this will be using the Investigator Edition of Liminal Horror you can find here and making liberal use of Luck, Item Tags, Wounds, and Time Procedures. I’ll be getting more in depth w...
