Silent Hill Suppliment - MrGone's Character Sheets

from Asia or Africa.
• Whenever people receive the call, or even if
have not, they will find themselves in the town,
even when following whatever paths would
normally take them elsewhere.
• Once able to escape, travelers reappear wherever
they were when the town took them.
What Nightmares Are Made of
Silent Hill is not real, at least not in the traditional
sense. Whether or not it ever was is something of a
debate. Now, the town exists only as a nightmare, a place
glimpsed only in the darkest dreams. Travelers find
themselves in the town, with no recollection of how they
arrived, or why they came. Escape proves fruitless, just
as it does for all travelers. The dreamers have no choice
but to battle through the dreamscape to whatever fate
awaits them.
Ramifications:
• Silent Hill may exist as a physical location, it
may have at one time, or it may have only
existed as a nightmare. In any case, dreamers
can and do find their way in.
• The only necessary thing for travelers to find
themselves in the town is to fall asleep. Once
they are resting, they can appear in Silent Hill.
• Just because travelers are asleep does not mean
that they are safe from harm. Should they perish
in the living nightmare, they will die in reality.
• Once escape is available, the travelers awaken,
with only a night of sleep passing, no matter
how long the journey in Silent Hill seems to
take.
• This can explain how the things in Silent Hill
are possible: they are not real.
Live no More
If there is one general consistency among travelers,
it is that a fair amount of them were summoned by
communication by deceased friends, family, and loved
ones. The travelers often ask themselves: how is this
possible?
It is possible because the dead walk the Earth in
Silent Hill.
Whatever the power of Silent Hill, it is enough to
bring back those who have crossed through the veil. This
does not mean that such resuscitated individuals are
shambling corpses, or some sort of vampires. Nor are
they disembodied specters. The dead in Silent Hill look,
talk, feel, and behave just as they did in life. What's odd,
though, is that they are not alive, even though they look
it. Such individuals know that they are dead, and they
will admit this. How, then, do they walk amongst the
living, and are able to touch them and talk to them?
Even they do not have the answer for this.
Ramifications:
• Anyone who is deceased can appear in Silent
Hill. This includes parents, friends, and anyone
else.
• Almost always, the deceased who appear have a
personal connection to a traveler.
• The deceased will usually try to assist the
traveler in what ways they can. However, their
movements do seem to be somewhat limited for
unknown reasons, so they can only appear at
poignant moments.
• Once the traveler has reached the end of his stay
in the town, through whatever means, then the
deceased are able to pass back into whatever
afterlife awaits them.
The Transforming Dark
In this variant, the Otherside does not exist as a
separate realm, per se. Instead, a wave of blackness
washes over the town, extinguishing all sources of light
for a period of time. When the lights work again, the
world transforms, becoming a living nightmare of rust
and gore. In this variant, it is possible for an entire group
to be trapped in the Otherside together.
This darkness rises and recedes, much like the
waves of the ocean. Consequently, travelers can do
nothing to affect its comings and goings. They can only
survive until the dark world becomes gray again.
Ramifications
• Transitions between fogbound Silent Hill and
the Otherside are always made as a group.
• Unplaces cannot be accessed until a wave of
darkness spreads over the town. Should
travelers attempt to access an Unplace when this
has not occurred, their efforts automatically fail.
• When travelers are in an Unplace when the
darkness recedes, they black out. Upon
awakening, they find themselves in the closest
'real world' location to the Unplace. For
example, if they are in the Toluca County Prison
when the darkness recedes, then they awaken in
the exhibit room of the historical society.
• Travelers able to still see in the case of the
change see the world fall apart and warp around
them. Walls slough off paint chips for
quivering, bleeding flesh, metal falls off of
bathroom stalls in chunks, revealing blood
encrusted wire mesh.
• Should the storyteller want a random system for
the entrance and exit of the Otherside, then he
may use the following system. At the opening
of every scene, the Storyteller rolls a single die.
