GROUP STORYLINE

GROUP STORYLINE:  We will have a voltuntary group storyline for members with a BACKSTAGE pass. The group storyline will be in addition to the required [01] start or reply every other month. The group storyline can be used in place only if the member has not received a reply for the month.

THE CAMPAIGN: The events of our campaign begin after Vecna’s take down. In the summer after Nancy Wheeler has gunned down Vecna, the residents of Hawkins find themselves visited by the former Creel boy in their thoughts. In search for victim’s he leech energy from to rebuild himself, he burrows in the minds of the townspeople. In their minds he evade’s Eleven and her friends search by taking occupancy in the unconscious thoughts of others. Sometimes his game is to possess, and other times it’s to annihilate, both further his mission to re-emerge. 

Vecna pursues your weakest memories and turns them on you. Those who are not able to defeat their inner demons, feed Vecana’s reprisal. The deaths of a few residents raises Eleven’s suspicions, and so her quest of sharing her power begins. Vecna is too much for just one person, so she trains her friends subconsciouses to do the impossible: travel through thought by means of mediation. 

The majority of us will survive, but four will die.
