Mixing other Fantasy characters within the Slender Man genre

[Courage]

Yeah, that's a good question. I've been thinking the same thing for mine.
It's one of those things that you want to really think out, and not do the oh so typical "guy behind the mask" approach, ( although that isn't menacing as it is. ) It's just that we've seen it before.

But when it comes to any of the things that you mentioned above, it'd be interesting to see something like that incorporated into one of these. ( I wouldn't go too overboard, and turn it into twilight or something. )


In my case, I've been trying to brainstorm over some new ideas, ( meaning try and come up with a different antagonist, something that we've yet to see. ) It's certainly difficult, but if I can figure out what I'm looking for I'll try and make it happen.

Yes, in fact, this has already been done for a while now.

The Fear Mythos has been around since early 2011, and has been incorporating different creatures into the horror blog genre. In fact, it was created on the basis of that idea; a creepypasta cosmology, if you will.

There are many creatures who have folklore incorporated into their designs. For example, one of the original Fears, the Convocation, are based off of Thunderbirds; Native American mythological creatures that were said to cause thunderstorms with the beat of their wings.

The Mythos tries to incorporate less known, and less done to death concepts, though. Vampires and werewolves a bit... overrated.

Rather than being inside of the Slender Man mythos, however, it's more of a case of an offshoot that's slowly expanding around it. The Slender Man is certainly not the strongest antagonist in any of our verses, and is not the most important either.

Bella Swann finds herself stalked by yet another mysterious gentleman...

EMH uses the rake which is from creepypasta.

I think bringing in other characters are iffy since you kind of have to relate them to Slendy somehow, or not.

Maybe just the idea of an open rift through the parrelel dimensions could make it work but it'd be a big hassle on both players and budget.

I think it is amazing when it is done well, and that's the problem It can be relatively easy to do a convincing slenderman because it is a human in a suit that can be obscured with distortion. I would imagine that adding something like lets say mothman, jersey devil, seed eater, or any other number of terrifying things would be incredibly difficult because making a convincing costume or make up would be insanely hard.

I had a sweet idea for an Assassin's Creed-Slenderman crossover kinda thing.

People'd hate it, but I think it'd be interesting. It'd follow the story of a modern day Assassin and his work but also being stalked by Slendy.

I find it interesting that Slenderman is a magic or quasi-magic entity, & yet there aren't a lot of series that use magic as a plot device.

I've only seen it worked well in EMH with The Rake. It would be hard to pull off good in a series without making it look cheesy.

I'm not clicking any link that has "Rule 34" right in the URL.

[Rats808]

I clicked it without noticing the rule34 in the url.

I'm glad my mind has been desensitized to this kind of crap.

[itookthesquare]

Well at least we have the answer to that question! thanks for the link!!
