Additional details

How to prepare

You'll need a mic, d&dbeyond, roll20, and discord. A cam is optional. You'll need buy in, this is circus horror, if that's your jam welcome, if clowns genuinely terrify you then maybe seek another harbor.

What I provide

25+ years of gm exp. Maps, tokens, story, music, art, and a the desire to play with antlions in ball pits.

Gameplay details

This is a horror game, so expect scary stuff to come up. In the nature of the telling. That being said, we're here for fun, so let's be considerate of each other limits. 0 tolerance for bullies of any kind.

How will character creation work

During session 0 we'll craft characters on d&dbeyond, and set on the path to entering the carnival. Come with a concept but nothing else. If there's time we can work on art and tokens as well.
