You live in a small town. It's very nice here.
There's an inn, where travelers often stay for a night or two.
There's the grand old house, where the lord and his family lives.
They own most of the farmland around here, but are very generous to their tenants, of which there are a fair few.
There's the church, where you go to worship The Mother when you need support and comfort, or look to one of the many saints for help.

There are also witches in this small town, and you know of this.
You don't know who they are, but you are quite sure they exist, turning milk sour; making your pretty, about-to-be-married daughter break out in boils; cursing your prize mare so her foal will be stillborn.
Yes, the witches are no good, and they must be purged from your lovely town!
Will you be the one to do it, will you wait for the Inquisitors' torches, or are you yourself perhaps the witch in hiding?
------------------------------
Small town setting
Choose a role (Witch, Inquisitor, Townsperson)

My interest is tentative. Just one question really - Is this going to be a historically accurate game (i.e. medieval view of witches as consorts of the devil and a few crusty old women getting hanged just because someone in the village doesn't like them and think they are responsible for their gerbil getting wet tail), or are the witches in this real ancient pagan priests / priestesses (nothing to do with Satan in reality and possibly have magical powers depending on the fantasy element of the game)?

Post subject:  Re: Open Season

@UnculturedGaijin Between those two options, this is "historically accurate". The sort of magic they will perform is the traditional folk-sy type (there will be much more about this in the OOC; you can decide then whether or not you're still interested!). In fact, I don't even care much how a witch got their powers; that's up to you as a player entirely!

Witches operate on an individual sort of basis, not being tied to specific religion or set of beliefs. The crusty old women getting hanged could easily be player characters, depending on how careful (or not) they are. As for covens being a thing, I haven't 100% decided on that. I hope that answered your question; otherwise feel free to get back to me. Thank you for your interest!

The OOC is up, good people of the internet! Please stop by, read what is there, and please, if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

Im up for this. Ill get a character posted some time tomorrow. My initial idea is a doctor of irish descent who is perhaps a little advanced for his time and understands the importance of some chemicals and plants in healing. He will be publically a christian but privately agnostic and dismiss the witch hunts as religious nonsense perpetuated by a few powerful people in order to control the masses by fear.

@UnculturedGaijin That can certainly work as a concept, but Christianity isn't a thing c; The people of Clayhaven (town in question) worship an entity called the Mother, who is a protective and kind goddess. As for his Irish descent, I don't think it will be very important IC, as this is sort of an alternate universe and Ireland doesn't exist. If the alternate universe thing was unclear, I'm very sorry! I love the healing thing (you're looking at a person who always picks Support roles in video games) amd I have in fact already placed an apothecary in Clayhaven. I was thinking one of my characters would be related to the apothecary; how do you think that sounds?

Yeah I posted that before I read your message about the OOC thread. Now I read that , I've submitted a character that fits in more with the setting.

Got room for one more? I'm imagining a young baker who maintains a sourdough starter passed down for 6 generations.

@KingPigeon We do have room; and also, I love that so much more than you know because that is so like my mom.

The IC is up! If you've been lurking out there, still not sure about whether this is for you or not, stop by, read the first post, and realize that this is amazing, and you should give it a try.

If you do find yourself interested, please post in this thread first, or send me a PM. Questions are always welcome!
