Are you psyched for the 2024 Halloween Game????

Me and Sabrar discussed our setup ideas like a month ago and I haven't sent him an email since but really what we need is PLAYER COUNT

So sign up, IF YOU DARE!!!!

Theme will be time travel, fun and lighthearted. Think Back To The Future, A Sound Of Thunder, that netflix show Travelers, and so on. When you sign up feel free to also include a time travel character / franchise / concept you want included and I'll do my very best.

Design philosophy:
- Should be fun for the players
- I want everyone to have a fun role (i.e. avoid vanilla)
- I want to be able to tell a coherent story in the flavourtext without players feeling I'm outing their role (i.e. I want to be able to say that Doc Brown and The Terminator teamed up to make it so that Isaac Asimov was never born)
- Intend to be no bastardry
- Hard line against cults, resurrection, and listeners

Rules will likely be same as last year: https://ramenchef.net/nxf/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=917

I have...
*checks notes
...at least 258 avatars picked out depending on a number of parameters including my mood, the wind, the rain, traffic in the city, the music I've been listening to, fuel prices, whether the cool mexican restaurant is open, how annoyed I am by Philips screws, train delays, the New York stock exchange index, geomagnetic activity in the Arctic circle and solar radiation experienced by the Voyager spacecraft.
