[FIREFLY ASPEN IS HOSTED ON DISCORD!]

Bridgely is a normal town.

Do you remember, late at night as a kid, driving through that one strange town? The one with the forest? The one lonesome Coke vending machine? The low mist that hung above its head?

That town is Bridgely.

No more than a small pocket of nowhere just west of Bloomington lies the strange, hidden town of Bridgely, Indiana. If you’ve ever driven in the state, you’ve probably passed through. Maybe you stopped for gas. Maybe you slept at the motel. Maybe you don’t remember at all.

But Bridgely remembers you.

Despite its odd sense of comfort - or maybe confusion, paranoia, and unease, if you aren’t local - Bridgely is far from “normal.” People say they see things moving in the bushes at witching hour. Others report strange red lights from the farmland past the cornfields. Still more say the woods make noise - not animal noise, but something else.
Yet despite it all, the houses are full. The streets are quiet. The people seem unbothered.

They like it like this.

Some of you were born here. You’ve lived your whole life in this sleepy little town. Some of you were just passing through - on your way to Bloomington, or a friend’s house, or somewhere you’ve forgotten. Some of you don’t even know why you’re here.
But now you are. And you're not leaving. You can’t.
That’s okay. Why would you want to?
Bridgely always has room for you.

Firefly Aspen is a roleplay inspired by liminal spaces set in the early 2000s, in an odd, secluded town that nobody knows - but everybody remembers. Bridgely is full of secrets, mysteries, and truths waiting to be uncovered by those willing to explore.

Firefly Aspen is character-driven and plot-rich. You'll uncover secrets, witness strange phenomena, and connect with others trapped in Bridgely - or, potentially, something much worse.

Firefly Aspen is 17+ and is rated 2 - 1 - 2 on the RPG scale.

Bridgely remembers you. Ready to remember it? Reach out for an invite!
