This is spoilers for the second season of Brightwater, Brightwater: Damn Outlaws. If you're one of my players, ya better scram. Now.
Alrighty, folks. Here's where I can let off some steam and spin my yarns. Ya see, I been knittin in my mind and know those daft folks ain't gonna see it fer a few months, and hell, they is gonna see it all topsy-turvy like from the first person point of view. So sidle up and peak and what yer Marshall's cookin up fer his friends.
Framework: It's Resident Evil 8, plain and simple. Man, that video game is perfect. Four separate lords of different domains with complicated "family" ties set around a hub-town that progressively deteriorates? Why, that's a mighty fine recipe for an adventure. You just gotta take those horrific fairy tale tropes and swap em out for wild west tropes and you got a map-based campaign right there, pardner. So instead of the vampire in a castle, ghost in a dollhouse, mermaid in a lagoon, and Frankenstein in a factory, I gotta whip something else up. I propose fer the board's consideration
1) a southern belle on a sharecropping plantation 2) a shovel-seller in an abandoned mine 3) a marooner in a dismal swamp 4) a gunslinger in a boomtown
