[edit] Game Synopsis
Dear Sir or Madam,
Are you unsatisfied with your current station in life? Are you looking for a way to change your world, but do not know how? Do you feel as though there is an untapped potential inside you, just waiting to come out?
Have you ever considered Night School?
~ * ~
Sentinels: Night School is a game of modern horror and adventure, where normal people must attempt the extraordinary, banding together to beat back the darkness. You can expect glorious and dangerous combat with the aid of polyhedral-dice. You can also expect dramatic roleplaying, both as your character and in NPC roles given to you for particular scenes.
Inspirations include Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Ghost Busters, Witch Hunter Robin and goodly number of horror films—both funny and scary.

"Great work." -Dan, as Corrina's sleazy boss, trying to get her out of the office.
"...and you're fired." -Eric
"...and your sister is hot." -Serin
"...and I like the way she quickens her pace when someone is following her." -Matt
"I'm going to have to make her think I have 5 or 6 people I hang out with socially - that's going to be a tough sell" -Matt, on convincing an acquaintance that there's a logical explanation for Leon having dinner with the rest of us.
Brendan's capsule biographies:
"We have the video-game wizard boy, the bare-knuckled boxer with a gut worm, the German pistolatrix, and the psychic hottie."
"You're lying! I want to be there!" -Lauren, reacting to how all the other characters are hogging the fun of trying to lie there way into places.

"It was for kidnapping." -Eric
"Yeah, and the Human Genome Project is for science." -Dan

pause
"No..." Amon and Lauren, in identical tones of semi-horrified realization and denial.
