About me
Don't mind me. I'm just your average trickster fey. What did you say your true name was again? I love building hidden worlds of fantasy and playing within ones already crafted. While I enjoy the mechanics of savvy character builds and the delicious crunch of tactical combat, I love roleplay and nuanced storytelling most. I aim to make my gaming space inclusive and cozy. I seek players I can build a community with, celebrating diversity. When not playing ttrpg's I can be found stealing the intangible from mortals, working as an illustrator and singing to my cats. Don't mind me :D

Creating your character
For this episode, we will meet on discord in a "Party-lounge" chat and discuss our group of hunters. As an initial group, we will discuss what we are both excited to see and what we would like to keep away from the game space. As DM/Keeper I will be in charge of: -designing monsters and mysteries for the hunters to deal with -bringing the world to life -portraying the monsters and people the hunters meet. The rest of you will decide how the hunters work together to investigate the weird situations they find, slay the monsters causing the trouble, and save the people in danger. We will create our hunters together, all information, sheets,etc needed to do so will be available on discord. We will use Avrae, an only slightly evil-aligned dice roller to roll dice on discord. No experience with Avrae is required, anyone who needs help, I'll be there for you. An inspirational watch list to prepare for this adventure might include: -Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) -Supernatural (2005) -Smallville (2001)
Monstrous mysteries seeking supernatural hunters to solve. Become immersed in the weird and mystical town of Misty Falls. Don't blow your cover as you protect the citizens. Don't get killed by monsters! Team up with other hunters to solve the mystery!

Safety
How Eryn creates a safe table
When you play this game, you will create hunters, people who have devoted their lives to killing monsters. Playing alongside the Keeper (thatâs short for âKeeper of Monsters and Mysteriesâ). Your hunters arenât normal people; youâre not even normal monster hunters. You are the ones who stand out, larger than life and twice as badass. You can change the worldâsave it, destroy it, or alter it forever. One way or another, you will make a difference. Safety tools will always be available for reference in a channel of their own on the discord server. -In session 0 we will go over the themes of the campaign and our expectations of one another. This would include character creation, desired narrative and roleplay depth as well as, mechanically what source books we would like to see at the table. -Lines and Veils will take place during our session 0 and considered a living document, meaning it is always on the table for evaluation and updating the needs of our gaming space changes. -X card is available as an Emote as well as our âVCRâ system that allows an easy shorthand to communicate needs, safety and wants within a scene.
