Sign up for the Shadow under the Wood rp, A lovecraftian horror story based in the deep forests and jungles of Aatuylva.
A roleplay for fans of horror, science-fiction, weird cults, and the like.
I've never made a sign up thing before..so...

For those of you unfamiliar with the works and atmospheres of H.P. Lovecraft, I suggest checking out these two links Stories online and Gameplay

Generally, Lovecraft is dark, misanthropic, and attempts to prey upon every single base fear at once. This RP will be a tad lighter, because there will be a chance to stop, instead of slow down, those things that go bump in the night.

Please note though, the characters in this will be normal, everyday people, drawn into this; at the same time, most in Lovecraft's stories are of an academic bent.
The police detective, military, a scientist perhaps, or maybe someone who was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time, and they should be prone to falling prey to the darker recesses of their own minds...that and I need to come up with a catchy asylum name...


Lovecraft's horror stories were scary because they used people's own imaginations against them. Talking about unseeable monsters who lurk in the dark places, just outside our perceptions of reality. Things that once seen, will always be seen as our worldview was opened to some horrible truth that destroys minds.

We're going to try and recreate that ^^
Monsters, cults, dark rituals, a mystical thingamajig or two, and magic. Or rather, a different kind of science, depending on how you look at it.
