GM's Guide

Welcome, Game Masters, to the dark and foreboding world of Surviving Midnight. As stewards of this eerie and desolate realm, you will play a pivotal role in guiding your players through the haunting town of Midnight, Mississippi. In this Southern Gothic horror setting, eldritch horrors and legends intertwine, creating an atmosphere of isolation, decay, and unrelenting terror.   As a Game Master, your responsibility is both a storyteller and a guide. Your words and actions will bring the locations to life, immerse the players in the sinister atmosphere, and unleash the creatures that dwell in the shadows. You will be the master of non-player characters and the keeper of secrets, driving the narrative with a haunting precision. In the forsaken town of Midnight, there are secrets buried deep within the murky bayou and forgotten alleyways. The players, embodying diverse occupations and skills, will awaken at the setting of the sun, with the town shrouded in the eerie light of dusk. They will be trapped in a perilous struggle for survival, seeking to escape the nightmarish clutches of this forsaken place. As each Game Master manages their own player, you will work in close communication with the others, weaving a web of interconnected stories and encounters. Your primary objective is to ensure that your players face the horrors and challenges of Midnight, while keeping a watchful eye on the competitive spirit that drives them forward.   Remember that impartiality and fairness are the cornerstones of your role. The players' fates lie in their own hands, and you must remain detached from the outcome of their harrowing journey. Your task is to offer guidance and create an unforgettable experience, immersing them in a world where every decision they make can lead to either salvation or eternal damnation.   Embrace the darkness and master the art of suspense as you guide your players through this treacherous landscape. You hold the keys to Midnight's secrets, and it is your storytelling that will bring this haunting tale to life. So, take a deep breath, and step into the shadows. Welcome to the world of Surviving Midnight, where fear and darkness await.
