Intro and tape made by WadeJackel






The Setup/Plot


Another disturbing videotape has been discovered, but this one is even deadlier then the last. For watching this video, will cause the viewer to kill someone within a week. Upon watching the video the viewer receives the first of seven signs, in various forms: the flickering of a light, a mysterious phone call, or some other strange occurrence. Unlike before, copying the tape and passing it along to someone else will not stop the curse. The story of the videotapes origins has been retold and embellished to the point where it now has three origin stories associated with it. ....But which one is true?




BASICS OF GAMEPLAY:


1. There are thr3ee different versions of the cursed videotape legend, but only on1e of them contains the true origins of the strange video cassette. The RP'ers must determine which is the correct version of the legend.

There is on1e difference between the thr3ee versions (on1e thing that has been left out of the other tw2o versions of the legend).

2. The GM, functioning as the curse/story teller, will provide various facts about each version of the legend, as the RPG goes along. It should be understood that the GM "does not" determine or guide the RP, it is up to the players to create the relationships between the various characters. (If Someone wants to play the curse/mystery guest I am willing to allow that.)

3. The thr3ee versions of the legend are just basic setups, more information will be added into the RPG as the story evolves.

4. The characters within the different versions of the legend are not roleplayable, their stories and actions are pretty much foregone conclusions.

5. The only aspect that I will lead is furthering the various versions of the legend and deciding which is the true story, everything else is up to the roleplayers to create.
