Working on the mystery
Since I've been sick I've had time to work on my upcoming Tales from the Loop campaign.
Instead of using the stock 'Sweden or Nevada' settings, We've opted to homebrew our own location and ended up with kind of a fictional version of the Big Basin / Boulder Creek area which I'm incredibly excited about.
'What about a mountain town in Northern California' came up from the players during world-building, and I remember how much time I spent in the Santa Cruz mountains exploring as a kid (and more importantly how ominous and ubiquitous the Umunhum radar tower was from anywhere down in the Santa Clara Valley), so I was stoked at the idea of doing weird 80's mystery shit in those mountains.
The players' characters are cool as hell and I can't wait for the first session. Now I just gotta get unsick lmao.
