RPGs / Haunting plot hooks
« on: June 06, 2012, 01:07:54 AM »
I was digging around in my CoC stockpile of pdfs and I found one that covers plot hooks of haunted places all over the US, it is dated because of some the information given in my area. So for the RPPR boys here's what is list for Springfield. Also if anyone wants to see for any city, just give me the city and state. BTW the Disney Land's Small World ride haunting is just freaky.
Springfield - Bass Country Inn (old Howard Johnson's) - Carl a former bus person, still haunts the
grounds. He has been seen in the kitchen and in the halls. Things fall off the shelves. You see legs
on the other side of the work table, but when you crouch down to see who it is and no one is there.
Out of the corner of your eye you see someone go into the office, but the door is locked and no one
is inside, you can be walking down the hall and see someone coming towards you and then they are
not there. Also, a female haunts the site but nothing is known about her except that her spirit isn't as
nice as Carl's.
Springfield - Bloody Hill - Cold spots and apparitions have been reported.
Springfield - Brooks Phelps Grove Park Bridge - Off of National on Bennett is Phelps Grove Park
under the third bridge late at night you can see a woman in a wedding dress known as "Bride under
the Bridge" that was killed on her wedding day
Springfield - Drury University - Clara Thompson Hall - The origin is not known of this ghost, but
many people have seen pianos playing by themselves and doors closing.
Springfield - Drury University - Smith Hall - Before Smith Hall was built, there used to be lots of
old Victorian houses. One house had a little girl in it. That house caught on fire one day, but the girl
stayed in the house so she could retrieve her teddy bear. Some days the girls that live in Smith Hall
find their locked doors opened, all their drawers opened, and a teddy bear sitting in the center of
their room because the little girl is looking for hers. She has been seen roaming the halls and photos
of her have been taken.
Springfield - Drury University - Wilhoit Theatre - Light flickered at night. Some said it was the
ghost of "Bob". Strangely the theatre was dedicated to Bob Wilhoit
Springfield - Little Theater - A janitor is believed to have died in this theater during a fire in the
early twentieth century. His ghost has been seen in the upper balcony by lone actors on the stage.
There is also a story about a baby that was accidentally dropped from the upper balcony one
evening. It is said to repeat its fall for actors while they are practicing.
Springfield - Phelps Grove Park Bridge - Off of National on Bennett is Phelps Grove Park under the
third bridge late at night you can see a woman in a wedding dress known as "Bride under the
Bridge" that was killed on her wedding day
Springfield - State Offices Buildings - In the main building, at night, a presence can be felt
following you. Also, there is an elevator shaft no longer in use where one can feel cold spots and a
presence watching them. Presence can be felt in the basement and also on the roof. The building
was once a bank and there is an old vault in the basement and a blocked off tunnel that runs
between buildings under the entire square. Hangings were once done in the square. Also, at night in
the Department of Family Services building, a presence can be felt throughout the building,
particularly in the basement where strange noises can be heard.
Springfield - Winoka Lodge - It was the site of an old hunting lodge located just outside of
Springfield Mo next to the old hwy 65 bridge. The legend goes that it was a girl scout camp and the
girl scouts was murdered there by their scout leader. research revealed it never was a girl scout
camp. But it was built on the Osage Indian camp grounds. Weird Stuff does go on there. And it is
haunted by something unknown. If you look around you will find a cave just over the hill there.
Springfield - Wilson's Creek - People have seen ghosts and heard strange noises like guns and
cannons. Apparitions of Confederate soldiers are seen more often.
Springfield - Wilson's Creek Battle field - Site of the civil war battle in south west Missouri. At
nighttime you can hear solders walking and talking in the woods at the site.
Springfield - University Plaza Hotel - "The Colonel" has been seen by almost all the hotel staff that
works in the Convention Center. He is seen late at night between midnight and 4am. Staff will see
him in the ballroom and in the back hallways. He is an older man dressed all in black. The most
infamous sighting was by a new employee that asked another employee who the man dressed all in
black was that he just saw walking down the hall. The Colonel is thought to have been a welldecorated
civil war hero and the owner of a large plantation that once stood on the ground where
the University Plaza Hotel now stands. These sightings have not been made public because of the
hotel not wanting it to hurt business.
Springfield - Bass Country Inn (old Howard Johnson's) - Carl a former bus person, still haunts the
grounds. He has been seen in the kitchen and in the halls. Things fall off the shelves. You see legs

RPGs / Wild Talents question
« on: November 25, 2011, 01:59:02 AM »
I'm starting a Wild Talents game but I'm a little stuck on the powers creation. One of my players is basing her character off Ramona Flowers. She wants Ramona's little bag of holding but I'm unsure how that stats out. Anyone got any suggestions?

RPGs / Working on a campagin idea
« on: October 18, 2011, 03:13:51 PM »
I've been throwing around an idea for a CoC campagin. Basicly it's Walking Dead. All the players stat their characters as themselves. For example I got one player that does HVAC, so it would make sense if his mechanical repair was higher than the base. If they acutally own a gun they can start with one. Basicly whatever knowledge or items you have in the real world, your character gets. I would use real world weather conditions for whatever area they're in. You can only carry so much on you. You'll need to worry about food, water, ammo, etc. Not fully sure how to start it off, I don't want them to just wake up and everything is already fucked up, like in Walking Dead. So, anyone got any thoughts of what to add, a good starting point, maybe a better system to use instead of CoC? I'm open to any suggestions.

Uncover strange cults, solve baffling murders, or delve into the deepest dungeons and face their denizens. Lorefinder merges the action-oriented fantasy rules of Pathfinder with the streamlined investigative focus of Gumshoe.

RPGs / Lair Assault
« on: September 12, 2011, 01:29:41 PM »
I'm a little late on this but oh well. For those of you who enjoy D&D encouters, Wizards has come out with a new event. Lair Assault is for 5th level characters (you get some magic items too), it's harder than encounters and takes more time. The event started last sunday (at least at my shop). It should be replayed though out the month. This month is Forge of the Dawn Titan.
