About the adventure
Create your own modern horror setting and delve into your own nightmares... As a world builder of more than two dozen of my own settings I will work hard on a special custom setting just for you. All I need are your own interests and ideas which I will extrapolate on to create a intense and horrific . For this I will be focusing on the deep mysteries within the settings, such as how magic works and what lurks in the darkness. This means I will need your own influences such as movies, books, and video games to create this setting. Generally I like to build these worlds with a Masquerade around the supernatural but if you want a more open modern magic setting I can work with that also! We will have two session zeros, the first will be about the types of things you want to see in the setting while the second will be about your characters within the setting. I will also take your ideas about the campaign, though I will try to build it around the most interesting things in the setting. The focus for the campaign will be around investigation of the secrets and lore of the hidden world as well as finding your own place within it. I will take the things you put in your backstory and use them for the crux of the campaigns plot! The cost for your own custom setting will be 150 dollars split between the players.

Additional details
How to prepare
I will need a mic, webcam will be your choice though it is easier when the players can see each other. We will have a session 0 meant to help everyone create their characters. I expect the players to have their character sheet online so they can share it with me. I also expect you to keep notes during game.
What I provide
I have enough dice to lend them to every player if this game is set in person as well as maps to run combat on. Other than that I will have a Roll20 server and a Discord server for dice rolls, links, and art for your character. I will also commission a symbol for your character to be used in virtual tabletops. Finally I will begin working on a world map once your setting is finalized.
Gameplay details
I tend to enjoy running horror games. I will have the players fill out a list of triggers before we begin creating the setting to make sure I do not push the boundaries that you feel comfortable within.

How will character creation work
With DnD we will be using the "4d20 drop the lowest" method and level will be 3rd if we have players who have played DnD before and 1st if we have a lot of new players. With Genesys I will give you a larger set of points to buy your abilities and traits. Mutants and Masterminds will start at Power Level 8 with extra Power Points to buy extra abilities. With Chronicles of Darkness we will decided together if we will be using any of the supernatural books, either way I will give you extra points for your character.
