stationmanagementWelcome to NightVale, the muttering ramblings of a bunch of hipster publishers who exist thanks to kickstarter. You have no one to blame for this behavior but yourself by supporting kickstarters as well as companies that encourage free thought and freedom of expression. Shame on you and your love of independent thought. You have no one to blame for this potential fun but yourself.
Nightvale is a small town where everything unusual happens. You can read about it here. It's unusual and weird. It's also an ideal setting for a game if you think about it.
Most likely there are several other people expressing themselves and wasting time by arranging a game using it as a premise. Consider this a prequel of sorts to that eventual forthcoming game.
WHAT IS NIGHT VALE
Night Vale is a desert town with a number of expansive construction products, a mythic structure, and a a portal to the weird, the strange, and the unusual which have become so common as to be commonplace. Under the leadership of the town council, the sheriff's secret police, and your humble station management, it is a quiet and peaceful place where people die regularly. However there's nothing to be done about that. That's life.
WHAT EXACTLY DO WE DO?
Let's pretend for a moment and for the sake of a setting that a developer has set up "Traveler's Inn." a new hotel development. Like any good business it needs to draw in customers. Specifically you. However you get here the town will make you welcome, and despite the fact that the staff seemingly does not exist, the hotel does seem to be able to house all of you. However you ended up here however you are discouraged from leaving.
Physically discouraged. If the secret police don't get you, the hotel will try. And if the hotel doesn't try then the fast food employees outside will do so under orders from the local McDonalds. You will remain, you will enjoy your visit -and you will consume delicious food.
Or perhaps you won't and you'll leave the game. You are your own downfall and your own savior. Do not look to the angels to save you or the moderators to moderate.
Wait what? Moderators? What?
Please read The rules. All individuals who do not read the rules are subjected to being stoned to death.
That doesn't sound like fun...
Every week there will be a post from Cecil, the town's radio spokesperson who will detail new arrivals, new friends, foes, and things that might happen to you. Visit, go and explore, encounter NPCs, or make up random creations and actions. This station encourages creativity for the purposes of exploitation in order to make the game more productive.
Occasionally there will also be posts from station management, the local boy scouts, and other businesses detailing other activities for you to participate in but it's Night Vale.
Woah. What kind of stuff can we do?
This is a typical day in Night Vale.. While station management will supply the occasional creative boost, the idea is to get creative. The Town Council encourages creativity, development, urban renewal, urban decay, and urban expansion. Every major organization has a branch office here but should they fail to pay their local property taxes or file the correct forms to support town locals will be removed to Desert Bluffs.
You do not want to go to Desert Bluffs. Ten out of Nine people who matter fully agree that Desert Bluffs may or may not be the worst place in American History.
CAN I PLAY A TOWN LOCAL AND/OR HAVE MY CHARACTER WORK FOR A TOWN BUSINESS. Only if you are willing to make blood sacrifice at the local blood stones and donate a portion of your income.
Due to the difficulty of this, the answer for the moment is no. Depending on feedback from relevant parties that might change. For now however no. Simply relax and let the town take you.
DO MY CHARACTER'S POWERS WORK IN NIGHT VALE?
The secret police is prepared to deal with the following: Demon Hunters, Slayers, Giant Robots, Giant Monsters, Small Robots, Smaller Monsters, Vampires, werewolves, skunkapes, mexican wrestlers, Greek Wrestlers, Avengers, Minions, Ponies, penguins, adventurers, serial killers, home invasion specialists, actors, workers, miners, coal miners, hunger games tributes, tributes, undead dogs sponsored by disney, deadites, puppets, police, corrupt police, disenchanted young women, mcdonalds employees, retail employees, KFC, KFC employees, priests,monks, tomatoes, Star Fleet officers, islanders, pilots, football players, baseball players, soccer players, jai-ali players, warriors, social warriors, tumblers, tumblr writers, scientists, other scientists, lame scientists, painters, rainbow unicorns, mutant rainbow unicorns, organization employees, lawyers, doctors, teachers, math experts, vigilantes, vigilante justice, bats, cats, rats, thieves, grifters, gargoyles, Frankenstein monsters, CDC employees, zombies, zombie hunters, revolutionaries, farmers, farm workers, farm laborers, public libraries, librarians, Troopers, Californians, Texans, Texas, the state of Louisiana (we are not at this time ready for any other states to visit and the state of California is banned from Night Vale in perpetuity.) villains, non-villians, wannabe villains, fad canons, small canons, FBI agents, CIA agents, DEA agents, drug dealers witches, wizards, Lannisters, Starks, Greyjoys, Westeros, Angels, Angelic presence, evil corporations, good corporations, and sea travelers.
Night Vale does not now or and will never accept cobras and neither will this community. For a full list of accepted powers, abilities, and creatures please consult your imagination, we have taken the liberty of filing one in your imagination three days ago.
If you still require clarification please open your window and shout at passing family members and neighbors to try and explain it. If that doesn't work check the rules again. All will be explained there.
DO I NEED TO APP INTO THIS GAME?
No. Night Vale does not differentiate from victims or support any descrimination except against Cobras and people from Desert Bluffs. If you are one of those two items then you can close your browser right now, we're not interested in you.
Instead just make a journal and join up. It's only misbehavior that gets your station management upset. For further information please read the rules.
IS THIS CONNECTED TO THE ACTUAL PODCAST
No. This is by fans, for fans. But if they're reading this somehow, or you happen to be a copyright lawyer please read the following disclaimer:
"I in no way make any claim to ownership over this particular town, idea, or basis or any idea within. This is for fun and not for profit. All attempts will be made to direct any interested individual to commonplace books where you can support Night Vale and it's small yet growing fandom. This is purely for enjoyment."
