Monday Blues, a small town in Eagleland
Nothing ever happens in Monday Blues, a small, dreary, suburban town in Eagleland. When the local gaming/cartoons/anime convention comes to town, it's about the only dang thing for the kids to do on a weekend! But that's when things start getting weird...
Erratic Tables, Cross Crossing Guards, Spirit Radios, War-Drobes, Seagulls.... what's happening to the world? And what can a ragtag group of kids do to save it?
Okay, what is this?
Welcome to EarthBound V, a game heavily inspired by EarthBound / the Mother series and run using the Valor tabletop game system. (Or possibly its variant, Valor Alter. That's still up in the air.)
The point is, you get to make a group of psychic kids (or dogs, or possibly teens) and go around the world, finding unique situations, defeating wild enemies, and saving the world from whatever the heck is going on.
What can you expect?
A lot of things! The power of hope and love. Weaponized nostalgia. Suburban nightmares. Mr. Saturn. Shopping trips. Adults being corrupted by capitalism. Free shipping. A guy with a flamethrower riding a motorcycle. A dog - possibly two dogs. An abandoned shopping mall. Card games. Powerful psychics. A message about friendship conquering all.
Does that sound fun?

3. Character concept(s)? The "runt" of the local Kid Scouts troop, who'd much rather immerse themselves in fantasy (science or otherwise) than going on hikes and camping trips... but since their parents run the thing, they can't exactly get out of them. Their parents seem to have differing opinions on whether to encourage their imagination or keep them grounded, and whatever is happening slowly threatens to tear their family apart...
4. Anything you want to see in game? A photoshoot. A roller coaster. Something that can't be understood, just endured.
5. What is your favorite movie, book, game, or TV show from childhood? When I was very young, I couldn't stop watching Disney's Fantasia.
