About the adventure
Hi! You probably backed the Curseborne crowdfunding campaign or saw the ads on social media and are wondering how it feels to play a Curseborne game. I am here to show you the ropes and give you an immersive urban horror experience. Let me steal you away into a modern city somewhere on the US East Coast, where the shadow grows deeper and curses secretly rule day-to-day life. In this game, you will choose one of four pre-generated characters plagued and empowered by a curse handed down through their lineage. You will see vampires, werewolves, ghosts, devils, and something far more sinister. While investigating a friend's disappearance, you will talk with witnesses, explore creepy places, resort to violence in a few cases, and unleash the powers you have been cursed with. Be careful though, they often have unforeseen side effects and at a high price. I will guide you gently through the most important rules, the setting, and of course your own story. Since this is an introduction, there will always be room for questions and I will talk you through the dice rolls and rules as we encounter them. See you soon and don't let your curse eat you up too soon.

Additional details
How to prepare
You can watch the Curseborne panel and AP from OPP con that will show up on their youtube channel or the introduction video by Corbin the Awkward GM which should be online now. You can read the setting pages and rules from the ashcan pdf.
What I provide
I will bring the ashcan pdf which includes some information about the world, the pre-generated characters, the game system, and powers. Also, I bring a ton of experience as an ST running for podcasts and Onyx Path streams, online conventions and probably some music recommendations. There is no vtt implementation yet since the game isn't released yet.
Gameplay details
You will have the chance to set your lines and veils anonymously with a Google document. We will have a tool at the game, that lets you signal your current level of comfort in a very easy and effective way. I do have an open door policy, so you can leave a game always without any questions asked.
