Into the Light
It has been a while since I’ve been strictly a player in a role-playing environment. It is not that I mind being the GM, because, I’m definitely learning that the surprise and exploration comes in finding out what players do (and they always find a way to surprise you). At the same time, there’s something exciting in being that player who has no idea what is going on that one can lose if they GM more than they play.
I started playing in a tabletop where three characters wake up in a lab of sorts on stone slabs in the dark. Their journey leads them to a Victorian style parlor with a fire running and blood on the floor (but no body). Through their adventures, the group finds they are in an estate with a lake glowing with toxic green glow outside. There’s also two bodies hanging from a tree and a giant cat with horns that takes one away for a snack.
I feel like I’m in some old sci-fi story from the days of radio. Or, I’ve been plopped into Lost as one of the characters. So far, there are no stats. This is mainly because the characters woke up with knowledge of just basics. They don’t know who they are or what they can do.
