4->This next year is looking up, and the biggest difference that next year will bring is you. We strive to make all of our students feel that our school is a second home. Whether it be storage for strange green liquids, evening classes for more sun-averse students, or a place to just relax and recharge, we at Cypress Grove care about you.
5-->-- Introduction to ''Must Be Tuesday''.
6
7''Must Be Tuesday'' is a Table Top RPG designed by Erika Chappell, at that time a member of Contraption Studios (''VideoGame/BloodCrusher2'').

9Each week, players are thrust into the world of High School. However, not only do they have to worry about passing their Math Test or finding a date for the prom, they must also go face a monster that is looking to destroy/enslave the earth for power/funsies. To make matters worse, players themselves are also monsters, and while that monstrous half is their means of protection from the supernatural,it can also become their downfall, as straying too far into the supernatural makes it hard to perform mundane tasks, possibly turning players into the very thing they try to fight...

11If you haven't noticed by now, it's pretty much the unofficial ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' the RPG.

16!! This tabletop-game provides examples of:
17
18* BloodMagic: Some of the more advanced spells require a sacrifice of some sort.
19* ButForMeItWasTuesday: While some humans must be pretty scared of all the crazy stuff going on around them, to the players and other monsters, its just another day.
20* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: All characters in the game (excluding minor npcs) have a character slider. The red side represents a character being rooted in the mundane world, while the blue side shows that a character has been dabbling in the supernatural. Going too far in either direction is not fun.
21* FantasyKitchenSink: See MonsterMash below.
22* GoThroughMe: In combat, character's can throw themselves in the way of attacks directed at allies.
23* HorrorDoesntSettleForSimpleTuesday: Yes it does.
24* MonsterMash: With Zombies, Merpeople, Robots, Aliens, Immortals, and Feys, it can be a real smash.
25* RitualMagic: More magically inclined characters may find that spells are boring without a proper build up.
26* ShoutOut: The title is from a ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' quote: "Dawn's in trouble. Must be Tuesday." (In its original context, it was a sly reference to how ''BTVS'' aired on Tuesdays at the time.)
27* UrbanFantasy: The game can take place at any time. Southern Californian High School in the 90s? Cool. Inner City Philadelphia in the present day? Go nuts. A fancy place in the 18th Century? Why not?
28* WeirdnessMagnet: The players, the students, and their school is pretty much entirely this.
29* WorldOfWeirdness: It doesn't have to be, but something has to explain that Zombie fraternity downtown.
