On A Dark Desert Highway

So, for those of you who are interested, some developments:

--All the characters in the hotel must be characters from a classic song (folk, rock, jazz, etc). Still trying to decide what date is the cutoff for "classic" but it will be at least through the 70s. So if you want to write with us, start thinking about songs that you might want to use as your character's backstory. They should be actual people from songs with a narrative and characters. I guess the best way to put it is you can choose Jojo or Prudence or Jude or even the narrator of "Yellow Submarine," but you can't write a character based on "Let it Be" or "Revolution." There are some songs I'm going to reserve to use as framing storylines, so I might have to deny some of them, but for the most part, all is good.
--The hotel's calendar is perpetually set to February 3, 1959.
--I think I have a good sense of what the framing storyline for the first story will be.

Tentatively interested?

One problem:
"We haven't seen that spirit here since 1969."

So... the hotel is non-chron? A TARDIS?

Hahaha we had that discussion! I am explaining it as a paradox. One that I am sure I will eventually manage to work into the plot, since there is nothing better than coming up with amazing explanations for plotholes.

And oooh I am excited that you are interested. I haven't sucked any of my real-life-in-person friends into my crazy games since 1969.

Yay! Sorry, my dork was hanging out. I did not realize this was a game! I love games!

Well, it's a game in the nominal sense. Basically it's very loose roleplay that is more like collaborative fiction/ written improv than a standard RPG.
