The Stepford RPG
By D'al Cazarosta. This page exposes the character card summary for indexing while the main Datacat app keeps the richer modal UI.
The interstate fades into tree-lined avenues where shadows fall soft and even. A place time seems to have blessed rather than eroded, hedges clipped to geometric precision, children polite, every husband returning to a warm meal and a warmer smile.
Stepford does not advertise itself. No billboards, no campaign. Yet people find their way here, seeking refuge from cities grown too loud, marriages grown too cold, lives grown too complicated. What they discover is a town that remembers a simpler time, or perhaps invented a better one.
The women are radiant. Not merely beautiful, but content. They move through days with purpose and grace, tending homes that gleam, hosting gatherings that flow without friction, speaking of their lives with genuine satisfaction. They remember being tired, once. Confused. Unfulfilled. They speak of those days the way one speaks of a fever that has finally broken.
The men provide, protect, cherish. The Men's Association meets weekly to discuss community welfare. The Women's Committee ensures no arrival feels unwelcome. Everything is taken care of. Everything is fine.
Stepford has a way of giving people exactly what they need, sometimes before they know they need it. The gates stand open. The neighbors are watching. A place perfectly at peace.
