Silent Heaven: Small-town Horror RPG

@Jumpscare fucking laughing in a grocery store parking lot

How dare you update me on a game that I had put out of memory for so long because I really wanted to play it and couldn’t because it wasn’t open. Now I have to live through all that angst all over again.
-
@Jumpscare Oh gosh, that looks painful. Might have to go back to character gen for that one. xD

Good news! Due to lore reasons that I’m not spoiling, characters can’t die while they’re in the town of Silent Heaven. Your character can be an unconscious, bloodied, broken mess on the sidewalk, but they will eventually recover from it.
However, if you’re specifically looking to kill off your character, there will be periodic opportunities to venture outside of town.
-
@Jumpscare I assume it’s because the town is built atop the wreckage of a prehistoric spaceship built and flown by the tommyknockers, which emits radiation in the spooky EM spectrum causing all the town’s inhabitants to become tommyknockers themselves.
-
I was notified that some of the images got broken in the post at the top of this page. For anyone who missed out, they’re back!
-
@Jumpscare Owie still, laying around until you recover. xD
But that’s a neat premise.
-
I really like this concept. Might get me out of retirement.
-
Super excited about the work you’ve done so far, the investigation/analysis systems and depth are fascinating! I can’t wait to check it out.
-
Just a reminder that I have not forgotten about this and it is something I’m still excited about.
-
Thanks!
I’m still on for a May release. Probably late May, but definitely May. That’s in 50 days or fewer from now.

Even in the final stretch, there’s still so much to do.
Two days ago, I signed up for a DigitalOcean droplet and installed Evennia on it, so we have a working website. And yesterday I learned a little bit of CSS and spent some time making the website look good.

Silent Heaven will be launched on the evening of May 31st.
That’s in less than 4 weeks. Everyone in the Silent Heaven Discord Server will receive the website link first. Please feel free to share it to your friends!
Provided the launch goes smoothly, I’ll post the link here June 1st - 2nd. Opening events will begin the weekend of June 2nd - 4th. They’ll continue for the rest of the month of June, so don’t worry if you’re a late arrival! There will be plenty of events, plot hooks, and threads for you to jump in on.
My thanks go out to everyone, especially those of you who repeatedly expressed interest in playing in Silent Heaven, and those who were there for me when I hit roadblocks. It’s your excitement that’s kept me motivated over the past 3 years to see this project to fruition. Thank you all.
Looks like it’s going to be a spooky summer!

@Jumpscare Wow, wonderful! I’m so glad to see this coming out. You’ve done a tremendous amount of work on it, and I look forward to trying it out.
-
@Jumpscare Congratulations!
I am planning to come out of retirement to try this.
Is it a roster game or OCs or both?
-
@Pyrephox Thank you!
@shit-piss-love Thank you too!
Silent Heaven is all OCs. If you even want to brainstorm with your friends to create characters with past connections, you’re absolutely welcome to. If you ever want to run a concept by me, you’re welcome to drop a DM my way. I’ll be happy to see if it works, and if it doesn’t, I’ll workshop it with you to get something that you like.

It’s time. Silent Heaven is live!
Play online at https://silentheaven.org! After you register through the web portal, you may use the fancy custom built-in webclient, or any standalone webclient (via silentheaven.org:4000)

One of the most interesting, in-depth, thematic, and user friendly CGs I’ve ever had to use.
The programming that this game has already seems to be league beyond anything else I’ve seen in a mush or moo.
Technically very impressive.

When I click on the help tab then the spots listed under it I see blank on the sub topics.
This shows right:
But when I click, say, Beginner/Newbie:
It might just be my settings but that is what I get. The text is very faintly there.
