Spellbound is set in the present day in a theme park and resort on a small archipelago of fictional islands set roughly where Beaver Island, MI and its surrounding islands are located near the northern end of Lake Michigan in the U.S. Open year round, even during what should be the biting cold of winter, the theme park is touched by the supernatural, possessing a sort of magic that goes beyond the usual theme park magic that one might come to expect. It is the story of the people who work there, the tourists who come to visit, and the drama that ensues.
Our focus is on stories that revolve around the day to day operations of the park, the lives of its employees, the experiences of its tourists, and the touch of magic that can be found throughout the resort. Plots will focus on character development and interactions, mysteries surrounding the islands and their magic, encounters with ghosts, gremlins, and other beings revealed as the magic of the islands changes, and the challenges of keeping the park running while dealing with its changing nature. It is a game that will incorporate a combination of light-hearted and adventure themed stories for those who are interested in them. While there is room for some darker stories to be told, they will not be the main focus of the game or metaplot. What happens when a little bit of magic bleeds into the world? What happens if it continues to grow? And what will people do to hold onto it?
We want this to be a place where players collaborate to create interesting stories where everyone's character gets an opportunity to shine. We ask that players be considerate of one another, respect one another's time, and behave in a manner befitting civil adults. We will remove players who do not pass the vibe check.
