Asheville has been proclaimed to be a "New Age Mecca" as well as "the new freak capital of the US". Most people overlook these statements made by the media, because most of Asheville's residents live there because it was named one of the top seven places to live in the US, it's location in the mountains and surrounding areas is ideal, and life moves at a slower pace in the South.
For many years supernatural creatures of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds had been migrating to this city in the Blue Ridge Mountains. None of them can quite put their finger on why they were drawn there, but there was a pull that they just couldn't ignore.
Supernaturals were content to live alongside humans in quiet; swaying them to the light or dark side or simply being content to live in peace. But then things began to change.
During the summer of 2010 a group of supernatural radicals decided that they were tired of hiding in the shadows, and they began an uprising. The uprising brought much attention to the supernatural community; at first just in Asheville, slowly the nation and then the world. People began looking at each other in a different light as they wondered if their neighbor, co-workers, teachers were supernaturals.
Things only got bloodier the longer the uprising went on, and finally a meeting of all the supernatural leaders in the area was called. They decided it was for the best if they revealed themselves to the public, and try to live in peace as they'd done for many years prior. The public cried for justice over the human blood that had been spilt and the leaders were more than happy to oblige. The rebel leaders were publicly tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.
Nearly two years have passed since the uprising, and while some humans have grown more comfortable with the idea of supernaturals mingling among them others are not so content with the change. The tension never fully did go away, and those who had begun the uprising hadn't intended for supernaturals to be content living among humans - they were supposed to rule them.
With each day that passes some of the humans want stricter laws for supernaturals, and the supernaturals only want the same rights that normal humans have. Some supernaturals have decided to keep their identities secret, and others flaunt their powers in order to gain respect, or sometimes fear from the humans. Something is brewing underneath the city of Asheville, and only time will tell if it's good or bad. |

- You were having a pretty average day. Doing the same things you usually do on any given day, making plans & getting things accomplished. Talking to loved ones or regretting the past. Daydreaming, creating, barking orders, making enemies. Or sitting around doing absolutely nothing with yourself.
- Then, suddenly, darkness.
- You wake up to more darkness, but you can see just a bit of your surroundings. It's like nowhere you ever remember visiting. You raise a hand to rub your eyes, hoping it's just a dream, & notice something on the back of your hand. It's embedded, part of your flesh. And it's blinking with text.
- There are others here. Others who have been here for some time. You can read what they're saying to each other & some of them seem to be able to see each other too. But all you see is text glowing green in the darkness.
- None of them knows why you all are here, or where here is for that matter. They just know it's pretty damned messed up & there's no way out.
- And there are monsters.
- Welcome to the Dark House.

In the beginning, there was only the Creator. And She created the world; its lands and seas, peoples and beasts. She created the Keeper, to rule over the dead. She gave the world to her people, whom She loved dearly, to do with what they would. The people multiplied, forming their cultures and societies, and were faithful to the Creator. And when there were many, the Creator made the Watchers: lesser deities to watch her people and report. You see, there are simply too many people for the Creator to keep track of, too many prayers to answer. The Watchers watch, and tell Her what her creations need.
But they speak in His ear, too.
She gave the Watchers free will, and perhaps that was Her greatest mistake. Not every Watcher is good. Not every prayer is answered by the Creator. The Keeper speaks to the Watchers, too, and He does not want for good in the realm of the living. He wants only to rule all, with the death of all things.
You, the player, are a Watcher, and the choice is up to you. Will you do good or evil? Which prayers will you answer? Which side are you on?
Watchers, Please is an original high-fantasy game in a medieval setting where the players themselves are the gods. You are a Watcher. Characters pray, and players submit requests. Every week, players will vote on which prayers and requests will be answered – and by whom, and how. How do you want to rule? Only one thing is certain: characters should be careful with what they wish for.
Re-opening September 12th! Now accepting applications!
