About the adventure
The deep sea hides unfathomable amounts of resources and treasure. Outreach Inc. is one of the most prominent players in the race for the richest underwater mines and doesn't accept delays within the production chain. That's why you are being sent to Rift Gamma 2, a revolutionary ocean trench mining platform, to investigate the absence of their latest delivery and reestablish a profitable workflow. In this mission, your characters will investigate a deep-sea mining platform on the edge of a miles-deep trench. You will talk to witnesses, find evidence, and solve puzzles while the horrors of the deep sea close in. Feel the stress rise as man and machine start to fail, and find out if your characters manage to find out what happened and maybe even make it out alive.

About me
Hi, I am Tom Murr and you are about to be enchanted to play a game with me. RPGS are a big part of my life for round about 2 decades by this point. For a very long time I ran games at the kitchen table and then found people online who shared my interest in games aside of the big fantasy ones. There is a chance, that you already have encountered me. I have been on several streams (i.e. Onyx Path) and in two podcast mini campaings (Red Moon Roleplaying). Sometimes you can find me on online conventions and in written form on DriveThru with some Vaesen community content. Some examples of my streams can be found on my not to active youtube channel further below. My favourite genre is faerie tale / folk horror. It can be the perfect blend of beauty/weird/scary, which I love (Changeling The Lost, Vaesen, Solemn Vale). But I also venture into other horror stories like other Chronicles of Darkness lines. Dark and weird fantasy like Heart the City beneath and Spire the City must fall. Some comedy like Paranoia or They Came from ... There is always a new game that I am learning and trying. Should you prefere storytelling to numbers crunching and are fine to go rules light, we might have a great time together. We will be both fans of your character, you by giving them a backstory and bringing them to life and I by challenging them and weaving a story avout them.

Creating your character
You can create a character with the free Mothership app or choose one of the pre-generated ones provided by me. Character creation is really quick and the app gives you a nice portrait to look at too.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please make sure your audio setup is ready. We are going to play voice only. The game will be hosted on my personal Discord server, so follow the invitation link you receive as you join the game.
What Tom Murr brings to the table
I will send you a link to a foundry campaign, play some fitting music, and create a dark and suspenseful atmosphere.

How Tom Murr creates a safe table
You will receive a link to a google document, that will ask you about your personal lines and veils. These will be anomynously compiled and we will have a section at the beginning of the game, that will bring everyone up to date. Your well-being is paramount at my table. Therefore we will use the X-Card and a Traffic light system, so you can communicate your needs without vocalising them. If at any stage you get the feeling you need to step away, that's absolutely ok.
