THE MAP AND FUN STUFFS
Hark friends! Game time is upon us! And I am finally posting a map and giving out some preliminary plot info.
NORMALVILLE, PA
Some Fun Map Notes/Locations you might want to consider:
1. Route something or other is actually Route 202 (not a real route, btw), but is more commonly called "the highway." It's the only way in and out of the valley.
2. My little ghetto roads are not the only roads in the whole valley. You can pretty much imagine any roads connecting the neighborhoods and main landmarks. The roads get sparser the farther into the hills you go, of course.
3. Miners Creek flows in from outside the valley as well. Lake Ponchartrain springs up from an underground well and the two never intermingle. In the week following the bombing, anyone hanging near the river would notice fish in it starting to die. Most recently, however, it seems to have stopped flowing entirely, and the riverbed is drying up. If your character is interested in exploring this little mystery, they might want to interview nearby characters or NPCs. See the player contact list for more info. :)
4. The Old Towne Ruins are a special part of Normalville's history. Simon gives a brief outline in the intro post with Quinn, but for location reference, there are several buildings being reclaimed by nature out in the woods by the lake, little more than skeletons. Still recognizable are a church, a jailhouse, and a meeting house, as well as others that are just unidentifiable crumbling buildings. There is also an impressive cemetery with stones dating back to the 1700 and 1800s that did not burn. Rumored to be haunted, of course, due to the souls claimed in the fire that started it, but more widely a local hangout for kids to do disreputable things. If any character wants more information on the history (and ghost stories :) involved, they can ask Simon. It's one of his favorite topics.
5. The county fair was in town the week the bombs went off. Those manning the carnival left almost immediately, abandoning the carnival equipment. So a ferris wheel, carousel, other assorted rides, and a funhouse are all sitting dead and silent.
6. The town green consists of a large grassy plain with a flag pole, a quaint gazebo and a tired-looking playground: swings, seesaw, slide. It has been eerily abandoned as of late, as many townsfolk have taken their children and fled.
Finally, here is a list of NPCs/characters that can usually be found in various locations, in case your character needs them:
Library - Simon St. James
The Clinic - Susan Schmidt (NPC)
The Police Station - Henry Browning (NPC)
Normalville High - Quinn Mallory
The Hotel - Izzy Rinaldi
The Bed and Breakfast - Mennie (NPC)
The Normal Bar - Mac McGregor
St. Jude's Church - Father Marty (NPC)
If any of your characters need to speak to someone at these locations, give the mods a holler. :)
If anything on the map undergoes changes, I will post an updated version of it.
WELCOME TO THE END OF THE WORLD! HAPPY PLAYING! :DDDD
