The setting is coastal Oregon. A small town, with a modest population of 3,000, is nestled in the tall hemlock and maple trees. The town gets very muddy when it rains, even a bit boggy. A very fine fog seems to be ever present, but the locals don't mind. They feel safer with it: hidden. The post master general takes his title too seriously, and has a glass eye and fake leg. A small, dingy high school is located near the center of town. Their mascot is the Fighting Gnomes; they are very successful in pole vaulting. The deer here seem to be the most friendly around. Some will eat food right out of your hand, if you are of good heart. Yes, they can tell. Main street is lit up by flickering neon signs at night. There are exactly five street lamps in town, and each one is covered in missing pet flyers, advertisements for the coffee shoppe's newest tea, and various vulgar posters that the local teenagers find hilarious.
This is the town of Alcomby.

The town isn't haunted, so all you ghost hunters out there can save the gas. The residents of Alcomby have become accustomed to the very peculiar happenings of their humble town, and they can explain why everything strange happens to them.
Cryptids.
The locals of this Oregon firmly believe in cryptids lurking in their coniferous woods. Sasquatch? Real. Batsquach? Especially real; ask the middle school librarian with the lazy eye. Thunderbird? Real. Bandage Man? Real. Mothman? FAKE. For your own protection, don't ask anyone about him. Point is, in this town, you believe in cryptids, and the various supernatural entities. If you don't, you are an outsider and a target brighter than Robbie Man's Diner's neon "Open" sign has been painted on your back.
A l c o m b y T o u r i s t I n f o r m a t i o n Alcomby's coordinates are 45.339984 Latitude and -123.875794. Remember that, because we won't tell you again. Despite the unusual local lore, Alcomby is still a normal town, with, but not excluded to: - Post Office - Robbie Man's Diner - The Bean Coffee Shoppe - A small strip of various unpopular clothing stores - A Trader Joe's - The Drive In
