:: GAME START DATE: January 16, 2011 :: :: GAME STATUS: ACTIVE :: "Let me tell you about the Nightside, Joanna. They call London the Smoke, and everyone knows there's no smoke without fire. The Nightside is a square mile of narrow streets and back alleys in the centre of city, linking slums and tenements that were old when the last century was new. That's if you believe the official maps. In practice, the Nightside is much bigger than that, as though space itself has reluctantly expanded to fit in all the darkness and evil and generally strange stuff that has set up home there. There are those who say that the Nightside is actually bigger than the city that surrounds it, these days. Which says something very disturbing about human nature and appetites, if you think about it. Not to mention inhuman appetites. The Nightside has always been a cosmopolitan kind of place. It's always night in the Nightside. It's always three o'clock in the morning, and the dawn never comes. People are always coming and going, drawn by needs that dare not speak their names, searching for pleasures and services unforgivable in the sane, daylight world. You can buy or sell anything in the Nightside and no-one asks questions. No-one cares. There's a nightclub where you can pay to see a fallen angel forever burning inside a pentacle drawn in baby's blood. Or a decapitated goat head that can tell the future in enigmatic verses of perfect iambic pentameter. There's a room where silence is caged, and colours are forbidden, and another where a dead nun will show you her stigmata, for the right price. She didn't rise again after all, but she'll still let you stick your fingers in the blood-caked holes, if you want. Everything you ever feared or dreamed of is running loose somewhere in the shifting streets of the Nightside, or waiting patiently for you in the expensive private rooms of patron-only clubs. You can find anything in the Nightside if it doesn't find you first. It's a sick, magical, dangerous place. You still want to go there?" - The Nightside, as described by John Taylor in Something From The Nightside. nightsidemods is a panfandom game set in this strange and magical place. Characters from other fandoms arrive through Timeslips and appear in the oldest bar in the world, Strangefellows. Can they survive their journey in this magical world long enough to get home? Or will they be stuck forever in the world of eternal night? John Taylor's on the job investigating this strange occurence, and if anyone can fix it, it's him. You just might have to wait a little while. |
