background.

THE SETTING Rural New Jersey, 2010. Paradigm, a smallish town near the coast, just a few miles away from Ocean City.

THE MAIN PLOT The belief that media has a large effect on the behaviors of children and teens has been around for quite a few years now. What if it was true? What if there were kids, teens--adults even!--who acted just like all those stereotypical characters on the screen? Paradigm is a roleplay game of the interaction between characters fitting the common archetypes of popular media fiction; from "The Prince" archetype in fairytale and disney movies to the "The Dojikko" archetype in anime and manga. It's all original character in completely stereotypical categories, set in a town where strange things are treated like the norm.
