Very inclusive, and does a really good job at introducing beginners to the games, and made it a pretty fun time overall for me as had a rather enjoyable time, and a lot of fun.

Al is a great GM! I had always wanted to try Call of Cthulhu and thanks to them I get the chance. Al explained character building very well, clearly knows the system and the setting, and is great at facilitating spotlight-sharing between players. Also it was very spooky! Al also provided a very in-depth session 0, which really helps you feel safe, and checks in with the players to make sure of any updates needed to the safety tools. Definitely recommend!!

The dm with the most in depth session zero I have seen! It’s very precise and clear I n player and gm limits for a smoother in game experience and expectations set out for both sides. Within the first session they were very open with what the game was about and honest about what trigger warnings would apply!

al did a great job facilitating those of us new to the system we were playing and did an awesome job creating a world for us to explore. They build the scene and then allowed us to live in it and experience the story from our various characters points of view. Excellent session, well facilitated, voiced, and executed. Super fun and would highly recommend them!

I was new to the game, but my GM put me at ease. Was very helpful in getting me up to speed and assisting me when needed. Had a great time!

How to prepare
You will need a mic. Camera optional. We'll use Roll20 for playbooks and rolling dice. You'll need to login to the game on Roll20 through a web browser. We'll use Discord for voice/video. You'll need a Discord account. (Zoom is an option if players prefer.) I will go over the rules at the beginning of the session but I'll provide a rules summary for those that would like to read the rules beforehand.
What I provide
I'll provide the Roll20 adventure Demons in Cross End with pregenerated characters and a noir sensibility.
