In the dark of night, The Host broadcasts strange and frightening tales from the outskirts of Black Hills - a secret town somewhere in the U.S.A. The small town of Black Hills is beset by strange and horrific occurrences. A hotbed for supernatural activity, Black Hills Radio is the sole word of sanity in the night. Things go bump every single night and it is up to you, the players, to decide what happens next. If you like shows like the Kirlian Frequency or podcasts like Welcome to Night Vale then this game is for you. Its fucking weird. You'll love it. How It Works The game begins with the Broadcast. The Host (GM) and the Players hold a conversation and decide on the night's Headlines and News. From there, the players will dive into scenes that place the Cast of Characters up against horrific strangeness such as shapeshifting mosquito vampires, floating eyeballs that demand worship and strange obelisks. Sooner or later, the Cast begins to break down as the horrors of the town begin to take their toll. As the Cast slowly slides into gibbering insanity, the night's Broadcast wears on until either the horror wins the night, or dawn welcomes a little sanity and the Players can rest for the day.

"In a few hours during the late afternoon and evening of June 9, 1972, a record rain fell on the Black Hills of South Dakota. A stationary group of thunderstorms over the Central Hills dumped as much as 15 inches of rain in some locations in less than 6 hours. The rains resulted in record-breaking floods on streams draining the eastern slopes of the Black Hills. At least 236 people are known dead and property damage exceeded $100 million in Rapid City and the surrounding recreational areas. The Survey Team tried to determine whether the observation-warning-dissemination system worked as effectively as it could have, and whether the Rapid City flood would have lessons and applications to broader regional and national plans and programs as well"--from the Executive Summary.

Fort Meade was the home of the famous Seventh Cavalry after its ignominious defeat in the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Troops from Fort Meade played a pivotal role in the events that led to the tragedy at Wounded Knee in 1890. It was the scene of imprisonment of Ute Indians who made the mistake of interpreting their new citizenship status as freedom from government control. The fort survived the mechanization of the horse cavalry, aided the record-breaking Stratosphere Balloon flight of 1935, and became a training site for the nation’s first airborne troops. Fort Meade existed for sixty-six years, from 1878 to 1944. Robert Lee examines the strategic importance of its location on the northern edge of the Black Hills and the role it played in the settlement of the region, as well as the role played by the citizens of Sturgis in keeping it alive. One of the chief delights of Fort Meade and the Black Hills is a gallery of characters including the unfortunate Major Marcus Reno, the beautiful and fatal Ella Sturgis, and the cigar-smoking Poker Alice Tubbs. They, and events scaled to their larger-than-life size, are part of this long overdue story of Fort Meade.
