    Rumor Hill is an idea I've had for a little while now. I've pitched the idea a few times on the teamspeak to mostly positive results, so I figured I'd pitch it here and see what the majority of the server thinks.

    From the outside, Rumor Hill is a quiet town on a planet not too far from the center of the sector. It has a few businesses, and residencies. Perhaps a factory or a junkyard. In reality, it appears to be nothing special. Just a normal civilian planet. But if you live on the hill, you know far better than that. It is far more mysterious than that.

    Upon the completion of Rumor Hill, I would like to option bi-weekly mysteries. Totally spooky, I know.

    This is how I would like to have things play out
    • Have players and player groups send in "mysteries"
    • Option one of the mysteries.
    • Let that player or group run free on the hill slowly building up their story
    • Have other players interact with the story by finding clues, and investigating incidents
    • Stop the bad guys (Or not which might have permanent impacts to the Hill)
    • Have fun
    I am currently just looking to see how many people might be interested in this sort of place before I set it up. It would be a little bit of infrastructure, and likely some talking with the mods, especially if I am going to be allowing anything totally spooky to happen (By that I mean anything supernatural of any variety).

    If anyone wants more details, post away and I'll see what I can do to answer any and all questions.

    Sounds good. Like, really good. Could create much detective-RP, seems interesting.
    If you want to use an alredy-there colony, I'm willing to spooky-fy Stark. We need more things going on there

    Stark doesn't quite have the feeling to it that I am going for. I'd honestly like to build something more akin to Liberty Mills. Something that is nice, but has a little bit of grunge to it.

    You were born to have your character solve silly supernatural mysteries?

    Please don't spook me.

    Also, there's a gay bar in my town called "Rumors."

    So I'm plus one-ing the name.

    Well... its probably not a gay bar. Rumor Hill is also a tentative name for the place.

    I do have an issue. Rumor Hill does sound a tad ridiculous. I mean, chances are though, there's a place somewhere out there with the name 'Bumfuck' or 'Arsefacey' but I mean, still.
