Reposted because I think it was missed last week.
Coming some time this summer....probably involving a BBQ....
Are you more than a little unusual? Did you inherit your mother's Magical Girl outfit? Do ghosts bother you with annoying requests? Do objects mysteriously stop levitating when you're around? Have you ever possessed a demon?
Have you done things that no one can see, seen things that no one can do?
If so, we might have the job for you.
SHADOW COPS! Now in Spooky Purple!
Humanity at large is unaware that the creatures of myth and legend exist, coexisting along side them in the shadows. There's a good reason for this: studies have shown people would react negatively to the knowledge that vampires, faeries, and magic are "out there". Thus there is an uneasy peace based largely on concealing the existence of the magical world: the supernaturals leave humanity alone, and in turn, humanity politely refrains from mass hysteria and breaking out the torches and rake-thingies.
The people charged with defending the peace, enforcing the treaties and solving crimes between monsters and humanity are the Shadow Cops. They may have strange abilities, be supernaturals themselves, or are just plain odd. Their Mission: To Serve, Protect, and Conceal.
The game will (hopefully) be humorous or at least light-hearted, with a satirical bent. Influences include the World of Darkness seen through a funhouse mirror, Buffy, Ghostbusters, Supernatural, Kolchak, tons of supernatural anime, and whatever other popular references anyone brings up. The system will be Risus, a simple, free game available here
. Character creation should take at most 15 minutes. I will be supplying a dinner meal, and some wine and beer. And coffee. And sugar. Maybe even pixie sticks

Let me know when you leave, i think I can manage it.
That...
... would be a squeealicious game, sounds like.
Re: That...
Also, the kitchen sink approach should give me a huge amount of things to work with; the horror field alone has so much potential for satire and trope-twisting that I could have material for years.
