WARNING: Chumahassee County is extremely offensive, both in language and content.
You've been warned.
Somewhere in the deep south, in an
unnamed state, exists Chumahassee County. It is a place where town
folk, inbred hillbillys, aliens, bigfoot, cannibal killers, and every
other gonzo idea exist side by side...often with hilariously
offensive results.

Origin & Inspiration
The original spark for
Chumahassee County began nearly 20 years ago. As part of my job at
the time, I called a lot of places in Florida looking for the
locations of property. Staring at a lot of swamp filled maps with
funny, and vaguely obscene, names certainly gave me some ideas, but
it wasn't until I spoke with a genuine Seminole Indian (with his own
amusing name) where the idea really gelled. Red Barnes was his name,
and he worked at a post office. He gave me directions to a property
up in the pan handle of Florida and said, and I quote, "But you
don't want to go up there...if the gators don't get you, the
hillbillies will".
Now considering the time - sometime
around 1996 - I didn't have many options as to an RPG that allowed
you to play hillbillies. The idea went onto the back burner and
nearly forgotten until a relative started getting into crypto-zoology
(Big Foot) and somehow that original idea sprung forth and mated with
the idea of Big Foot into this notion of a fictional county somewhere
in the South. It would be replete with all the worst and offensive
stereotypes of Southern inbred legends mixed with Big Foot (and every
other cryptid), which opened the doorway to a true gonzo setting of
aliens, the supernatural, gators, and of course, hillbillies.
From
there, everything else was just filling in the details.
