I thought it would be interesting to rp the prequel to shadows over innsmith. The idea that the town is choking economic wise till one man explains the idea behind serving the Deep One's. Starting the Order of the Dagon. It would involve wives and female members of the Order to offer themselves sexually to the Dagon's of Devil's Reef in order to secure a great catch and the discovery of gold and riches.

I might possibly be interested, having seen the movie of the same name.

I haven't seen the movie and only know the basics of the plot, but I wouldn't mind giving it a shot nonetheless. ^^;

Basically the town of Innsmith sells their women to the Dagon's that live in a nearby reef. In return for having sex with the women the dagon's make sure that the fisherman get great catches and even sunken treasure :)

*does some research*

Deep Ones, you mean. ^^; Dagon is merely a deity they worship.

Hyde

Yep. It's a cult located in Maine. The idea is that the women sleep with the Deep One's in order to produce a type of fishman hybrid that can live forever.

Big Lovecraft and Cthulhu fan here..
count me in.


Yes, Dagon is the god.  The Deep Ones are the name of the fishmen who also worship Great Cthulhu.

There is a timeline of the town up somewhere as well.

A little off the subject here, but I just wanted to say that I'm amazed at how often (and where) the town of Innsmouth turns up. 

I was watching a friend play Oblivion the other day and there was a town in the game called "Hackdirt" that was lifted straight from H.P. Lovecraft and followed the whole secret cult of Dagon worship almost to the letter.  I almost had to laugh when he had no idea what I was talking about when I explained it.  Some young people today have no appreciation of the classics.  LOL

Anyway, sorry for that tangent.  :P

Hyde

Wonderful! I'll work out a small game here shortly and post when I am ready. Once I get an idea on how I'll play it out we'll get the characters up and such. Sound good?

Certainly. ^^

*will probably be playing a member of the Esoteric Order of Dagon*

I'm thinking about making my character an outsider who stumbles onto the whole horrific situation and is drawn down into the depravity against her will.   ;)

*is now reading 'The Shadow over Innsmouth' to better prepare herself for the roleplay*
