Territory Blues

You know roads around here.  They're like the veins running down your arm. You know where the blood goes; you know where they all end. You've been wrestling this territory for 20 years, know the roadside attractions like you know the sound of your own name, the roar of the crowd, and the lines of your face, which grow deeper every day.

Territory Blues
A Lovecraftesque Scenario
By Jeff Stormer & Blaine C. Martin

Territory Blues is a scenario for Lovecraftesque by Becky Annison and Joshua Fox set in the world of professional wrestling. It deals with the horrors of the road, the never-ending grind of the territory circuit, and of one wrestler who slowly comes to face a nightmare out there on the road.

It includes tools for creating your own wrestler and NPCs, suggested clues for the world of pro wrestling, and unique, wrestling-specific Special Cards, including It's A Work! (what happens when the world you knew turns out to be fake?), and It's A Shoot! (what happens when the world of the ring starts to take over reality?).

Inspired by the episode "Chapter 2: The Same Faces Repeat Themselves" of You Are Not Alone, and the album Beat The Champ by The Mountain Goats, particularly the song Southwestern Territory. And of course, the beautiful, messy world of independent professional wrestling.
