Editing Arkham Nights

''Our Host'': Phantom Grunweasel<br>

'''Setting:'''<br>
The Buffyverse but also the Cthulhu Mythos

'''System:'''<br>
Buffy the Vampire Slayer

'''Premise:'''<br>
The Slayer has moved to Arkham High, where she has her work cut out for her with haunters in the dark, things on the doorstep, dreams in witch houses, and rats in the walls. A 21st century update on the Mythos, with an undercurrent of self-aware postmodern humour.

'''Mood:'''<br>
Wise-cracking, deadpan banter shot through with some genuine heart and genuine horror


'''The Story So Far:'''

The creator of Julie the Vampire Slayer had a vision for a postmodern comedy/drama/horror/fantasy series set in Lovecraft's Arkham. It was adapted into a feature-length film, Julie the Vampire Slayer, but was not deemed a commercial success. Our creator managed to persuade a studio to sponsor a TV series that would be something between a sequel and a reboot of the movie - taking some of the things that had happened in it as read, quietly retconning others, and in general just moving forward.

'''or'''

Julie arrived in town, where she met and befriended Claudia and Sam. A vampiric cult of Hastur turned out to have been kidnapping women for sacrificial purposes, and our heroes sprang into action. They saved the kidnapped women, and kicked much vampire arse. Now they defend Arkham from supernatural terror and also play in a band. Guitarist wanted.


Note: It’s the player characters that will make this one. I’ll be planning the stories around them.
