Behind the Scenes: Revelation Springs – a horror film script I wrote

Noah, Warren, and Marcus are urban explorers who break into an abandoned library and find a secret burial chamber of a dead cult. They awaken the spirits of the dead cultists. Marc disappears so Noah and Warren search for him. However, the spirits corrupt the living into joining their cult. Only Noah and Warren stand in their way from taking over.

I wrote this a few months before I began RPPR. I’ve never done anything with it, except use it as my thesis for my degree. However, it does mention some Cthulhu-ish things so I thought you guys might enjoy it. It’s also way longer than a normal behind the scenes post, so this makes up for October.

RPPR After Hours episode 9: The Darkest Neo-Cyber Timeline

breedersReviews: The Marauders RPG and Starsilver Trek, an adventure for Dragonquest that involves mining radioactive magical minerals and poetry.

There’s also talk about which dystopian cyberpunk future we’re currently in, because it’s clearly one of them. Trump is running for president and we’ve found water on Mars. Clearly, these are signs of ancient prophecy or something.

RPPR After Hours: The Alpha and Omega of Conspiracy Theories

alpha-omega

Alpha Omega is a Shadowrun-esque heartbreaker that covers a lot of territory. Its Wikipedia entry notes that its major claim to fame was the ARG/fake conspiracy theory called Ethan Haas was Right, which was briefly thought to be part of the Cloverfield viral marketing campaign. It got a lot of things right and a lot of things so very wrong.

We also talk about conspiracy theorists and the Conspira-Sea Cruise, which has a lot of great guest speakers!
