KORPG™ Games 
An excellent horror/mystery RPG concept to throw at a group of either Call of d6-lite, Alien d6-lite, or perhaps even Zombie d6-lite players.
The Setup:
The players find an old 50′s style shortwave radio that appears to have been through hell and back. The batteries within it are long spent and corroded, but oddly enough, even though the power cord is frayed and the plug appears to have been torn for the end, the radio still turns on. Doing so leads to nothing but static and white noise on all channels up and down the dial… until a hushed voice is heard from beyond the veil of static.
Every time the radio is powered on, the same message is repeated regardless of when the radio is turned-on, the current day’s date, or where the dial is set.
The Message:
<begin transmission>
I know this will be discovered. That’s the nature of the system. It’ll eventually find us…
For those still listening, here’s how it happened…
June 30th
10:30 A.M. – Power outage in the Southern portion of the city.
11:12 A.M. – Power is restored. Nobody has an explanation for the sudden outage.
11:13 A.M. – Rumors begin to circulate: California took us off the grid? Someone cut a major trunk? They’re all bogus and easily dismissed with logic.
But the evening’s news would surely shed some light on the event and dispel all those foolish rumors.
5:00 P.M. – Nothing on the local news about the event – National news is equally silent on the incident.
6:00 P.M. – Nothing on the local news about the event – National news is equally silent on the incident.
10:00 P.M. – Nothing on the local news about the event – National news is equally silent on the incident.
Though odd, we slept soundly that night, sure that it was just some random confluence of events… until history repeated itself the next morning.
July 1st
10:30 A.M. – Repeat power outage in the Southern portion of the city.
11:54 A.M. – Power is restored. Still nobody has an explanation for the sudden outage.
11:54 A.M. – The rumor mill was in full swing immediately. But all the theories and hypotheses bore worthless fruits.
The news would have to report on it now; two days in a row couldn’t be a simple coincidence.
5:00 P.M. – Nothing on the local news about the event – National news is equally silent on the incident.
6:00 P.M. – Nothing on the local news about the event – National news is equally silent on the incident.
10:00 P.M. – Nothing on the local news about the event – National news is equally silent on the incident.
If I believed that I was the only one concerned, it was only because nobody who saw the pattern dared bring voice to our concerns.
July 2nd
10:30 A.M. – The power went out in the whole city… It’s been three days now and power has been off more than on. Every attempt to use the power grid to contact someone – anyone has been met with another outage. It’s like we’re not supposed to talk about it.
People are beginning to disappear, whether from attempts to flee the area in secrecy, or from being removed I’m not sure.
I know it sounds crazy, but it’s almost like the system has become sentient. Like, while we were foolishly going about our mundane existence it was watching… waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Finally the waiting was over.
July 5th
Today is July 5th. I’m sending this out as an S.O.S. to anyone who knows what’s happened…
Hopefully the system will take some time to find this transmission in the white noise…
Hopefully someone knows…
Please, Dear God someone contact us…
<end transmission>
Some possible plot advice:
- The radio is possessed; continuing to listen to the transmission leads to “hearing other things…”
- The radio is the equivalent of a mythos tome. Study of the device grants 1d3 Cthulhu Knowledge points. What additional details are hidden in the static and White Noise?
- The voices trapped within are from a possible future timeline… careful study of the voices will lead to the realization that in some future summer the players will face a threat of a sentient power grid. Can the future be prevented?
