About the adventure
The Between is a roleplaying game about mysterious monster hunters in Victorian-era London. They are residents of Hargrave House, and their job is to investigate and neutralize monstrous threats terrorizing the city—threats that Scotland Yard can’t (or won’t) handle themselves. As the story progresses, they become aware of a criminal mastermind pulling the strings behind the scenes. They will have to face this mastermind to save Queen and Country.

How to prepare
Mics are necessary as this isn't a Play-By-Post. Webcams are welcome but not necessary. You will need a Discord account. I will provide rules for play and creation that we will go over in Session 1.
What I provide
I will provide a Character Keeper, Maps, NPC Portraits, ambient soundtracks for mood settings, and more!
Gameplay details
First of all, ALL players will fill out a Consent Checklist. It is anonymous (except for things that need to be discussed) and will let me know the baseline for what is permitted in play. No one else but me will see this checklist and the information will be presented without judgment to ensure all players feel comfortable. If the lines and veils ever change then please let me know. + I use the X Card in play. At any point during play, if you feel uncomfortable and need to stop then please drop an X in the discord chat and we can pause, discuss, and either continue or wrap up. There will be no question of the use of this except for insight into what was made uncomfortable and if a discussion needs to occur. + I also run games with an open-door policy. At any point, if you feel the need please step away and just reach out when you can to let us know you are okay. The benefit of home games is that we can pause, rewind, or do whatever we need and the game isn't at risk, though the safety and comfort of all players trumps the game.
