RPG experiment: more background materials
Just tossing jello at the wall here... I would this in my old notes and it's another pretty good summary of what's going on here.
I left the "1988" in even though it looks like this is gonna be set in 2071. It fits the retro-themes I'm going for. The campaign setting is basically "when the 1968-1988 phase of the American Bullshit Cycle repeats itself."
=========================
Imagine an alternate-universe 1988 drawn right from right-wing moral panics, where furry fandom has connected with the corporate self-improvement scene and morphogenetic fringe science, and mutated into a New Age transformation cult backed by West Coast IT money. Basically Yoyodyne, except you have furry TF cultists instead of Red Lectroids. :>
The PCs start as captives in a secret biolab on this transformation cult's hidden compound. Their creators are trying to bridge the gap between human, animal, and spirit and basically reverse engineer angels.
They're also trying to meet their creations halfway. This mostly involves stalking around the compound in creepy animal masks, injecting themselves with untested mutagenics, and speaking in tongues while tripping balls on acid.
The PCs must not only struggle to escape alive, but to maintain their sense of self, stay connected to their fellow specimens, and understand why they're being manipulated. The longer they stall, the faster reality and autonomy slip away from them...
