About the adventure
Deep in the Undertrash there's a small toy shop that custom makes their toys. Every once in a while some rich socialite will want to get their spoiled brat of a kid a custom made toy. So they bring their child down to the Undertrash into the toy store and the child comes out with a brand new custom toy...Parents have been reported missing...families have been broken and now you and your crew have been called to investigate. Will you be able to bring the Puppet Master to justice? Or will you just become another toy lost to time? The System that will be used to play this One-Shot 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.

How will character creation work
Character creation will be dealt with before the game is held in one of three 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.
