Brigadoon

[MetaRob]

Once again I can't remember where I saw something. I could have sworn I saw it in a GURPS product; defining a brigadoon as a town or location that fades in and out of existence over a period of time. It's named after the movie, Brigadoon, of course. I tried looking it up in Infinite Worlds, but it's not in there. Where do I remember seeing that definition?

tvtropes.org mentions in the Vanishing Village entry that Exalted has a spell to create that specific effect. Maybe there?

I have a distinct memory of seeing this in a GURPS book as well, but a search through my GURPS PDFs doesn't turn it up. I suspect it may have been in a 3rd edition or earlier work.

Alternatively, it did appear in a 4e GURPS book, but it vanished and will not return until the next edition.

It sounds like what Infinite Worlds defines as a shift realm.

I see a mention of Brigadoon in the In Nomine title, The Marches. Could that have been it?

Brigadoon is also mentioned in (Pinnacle ) Deadlands - Law Dogs.

The whole town soon
seems to have a sort of eerie, Brigadoon-like
character.

But it doesn't match your definition.

Campaign Pg 543 have something similar in the description of Reich-5, but not what you describe.

I'd have sworn that it was in 3e Time Travel, but when I went through my copy I couldn't find it. I recall it being somewhere too, though. Maybe the Warehouse 23 supplement? I'll check at some point.

I actually though that was used too, but the closest thing i could find was a shift realm
geographical features (and some artificial constructs)that move between the worlds.

but brigadoon vanishes and doesnt reappear for a set period of time i doesnt go anywhere

It's in my playtest copy of DISCWORLD 2nd ed.
