Silent Hill-inspired Campaign

Nurses. Sexy nurses.

It really depends on character backstory. SH2 and 3 all have monsters generated based on core motifs from the protagonists fears and psychology. With the exception of Pyramid Head and Valtiel, who are more symbolic in deed as opposed to image.

Download any of the 9999 professional tried and tested illustrated 1000pages long call of chuutuuluu campaigns that 61year old role players play while smoking pipes in musty cottages.

Mindlessly mine the book for the scenes, riddles, mood and clues. Neuter the coc mythology to fit the meme silent hill world.

Insert philosophical subtext from that one pretensious Dostoyevsky book that truly "changed my look on life, no really I mean it."

I agree with this guy. Lovecraft is utter garbage m8. Come back when you turn 18.

Tip that's really gonna spice up your game, OP. Be an unreliable GM. Midway through a scene, start talking as if you're still doing a previous scene and keep going. Start talking as specific characters instead of the DM when it should not be appropriate. Basically, push the limits between what is going on in the game, and in reality.

If it goes bad, you might wind up looking pretty autismo, but when it works, it works super well. I've both played in game where this happens, and been the GM in such situations, and players who are willing to get spooked will eat it up. Especially when you're doing a Silent Hill style campaign.

Also, minor idea, monsters that are tailored to the backstories of the player characters.

The trouble with these kind of campaigns is they deal with the PC's mind very frequently. Make the PC's tailored to your group or tell them in far advance to make a character. Also make sure to amplify symbolism on everything.

Also this is an instance of non-meming use GURPS. It works well for overpowered mobs and helpless PC's

Lovecraft has some alright material if you avoid the memes. Dream-quest of Unknown Kadath is pretty alright.
Also the lesser-known short stories like Pickman's Model.

Read the rest of his stories you spastic monkey, they don't all rely on tentacles. The Nameless City is excellent.

Le upboat for you good sir! Simply epic!

This is the one I was about to suggest. I like the idea of this cursed place, but the curse is somehow spreading like a plague. It would make for a good challenge for players if new people keep getting sucked into it.
