The People V. The Sleeping Sickness (A CoM Campaign)

City of Mist | Campaign

About the adventure

People are going to sleep and not waking up, the police, the DA's office and the Scarlet Archive seem to think that they have the culprit dead to rights. And the Culprit? Is being framed. Put up for a crime he did not commit. You and your crew have to find to investigate the entire case and find a way to get this man his life back. Will you like what you find on the journey? Are you prepared to find out what really happened? The System that will be used to play this Campaign is City of Mist, a mystery/investigative storytelling game based in a City with Magical Mist that hide the arcane. Choose your favourite character from fiction whether its from a book, a tv show, a movie or a video game and bring their powers to the world to solve this mystery. Character creation can happen up to 2 days before the session so you can properly create your character with my help. You can have up to 2 Mythos Cards. There are pre-gen characters in each of the books that you will have access to before the session if you don't feel comfortable creating your first character in a one-shot. Please feel free to either DM me on here or Discord for any questions at all.

They are amazing! Our party came into to champaign throwing curve ball after curve ball (pretty sure we were the bad guys) but they ran with it and made the game super enjoyable. Highly recommend!

One of the best one-shot games I’ve ever played. From beginning to end, I felt truly included and seen; not just as a player, but as a person. Dylan/Alyx has an incredible talent for storytelling and player engagement. Their ability to make everyone feel welcomed at the table, no matter their playstyle or experience, is something special. If you get the chance to play at their table, take it. You won’t regret it.

The plot was clever, with a satisfying mix of mystery, exploration, and combat. The encounters felt challenging yet fair, and the pacing kept the energy high without feeling rushed. This was a phenomenal game

I was accepted to the game, asked a bunch of questions about the vibe and tone of the party so I could match it. Played one game where I spent 50% of the time waiting to join the party, and four days later was informed hat the rest of the players had changed their mind about adding a 5th player. Host did not refund the session.

Additional details

What I provide

As the Master of Ceremonies for this particular One-Shot I will be bringing Books: BOOKS!! I have all the books for this particular TTRPG! They will be added to the Role Game for this particular campaign! Players are encouraged to read through the material as well as ask any questions to me the MC about the game and this particular campaign Stream: Yes I know this sounds like me plugging for my actual play of city of mist but I find that I learn these games best by watching other people play them. So I do have a game that I play with friends in which all of us are learning the game. So if you find this helpful feel free to watch! Music: I will be curating a playlist for this campaign that will be setting the mood for the campaign! I will also take any reccomendations for music as well so everyone has fun during this game! The Links: Obviously I will be providing a discord link so that you will be able to discuss the game, roleplay your characters, ask any questions and so much more for this and other games that you will be joining! As well as providing the link for playrole.com! this link will allow you to create your characters in an easy format akin to dndbeyond!

How will character creation work

Character creation will be dealt with before the game is held in one of Four ways. 1. A player can contact me on here or on discord to set up a one on one call to help create their character. the character creation can be a little intense at first so the one on one session is highly recommended to first time and new players. 2. A Player can create their character on their own, all they would have to do is send me the character sheet through discord and let me look it over. All characters will be accepted I would like to see what I am working with. 3. A Player can choose a Pre-Gen Character if they do not feel comfortable creating their first character in a One-Shot. These Pre Gen Characters are available in all books that you will have access to as well as in the materials that will be sent to you in the prep materials. All materials will be sent in a google drive file that will be shared through a link. Please feel free to DM me with any questions that you have regarding character creation and I will be sure to get back to you in a timely manner. 4. Character Creation Can also happen during the session 0 where I can help you and other players through the character creation and we can come up with any backstory bits together! This will also make it easier to create the character with the world!
