About the adventure
Supervillains. You've seen them on the news, maybe even glimpsed them in real life. They're out there. They do impossible things all the time. They make jets that run on nothing but water, or grow thirty feet tall, or convince people to pay them to drink bleach, or break out of maximum security prison. They fight toe to toe with superheroes, and make ordinary people cower. Ordinary people like you. But, you have to admit, they're entertaining. How do they do it? Well, there are a wide range of origin stories. Industrial accidents, alien heritage, mechanical genius, radioactive- It's demons! It's all demons. That's the real secret. All this talk of 'origins' is a smoke screen. They're powered by demons. And you know, because you've got a demon now to. Exactly why so many demons are showing up in the hands of faculty and staff at Brigham Young University is a good question, but a better question is... what are you going to do with that power? Will you become another masked supervillain, threatening the world to rake in mad stacks? Or will the better angel of your nature win out? Oh, and by the way: You don't just play your mortal villain. You also get to play another player's demon. Have fun.

About me
I am a compulsive storyteller, and adore telling stories with people. I love the mechanical bits and bobs of games, but my real passion is for the cooperative storytelling. It's the blend of thoughts and ideas all mixed together that makes roleplaying games a unique and treasured medium. I've been GMing for 16 years now, with experience in a wide rage of systems and settings, and always looking forward to expanding my horizons and experiences. Personal favorite games include Unknown Armies (2e), Dread, Swashbucklers of the Seven Skies, and Wild Talents. I can't wait to find out what stories we can tell together!

Creating your character
We're using an alternate character creation where everybody makes their mortal Hellbinder, complete stats, and their Screwtape gets to pick all their Powers and Aspects. A cleaner divide for new players. We'll go over characters and divvy up demons at session 0, as well as filling out some details of the setting and world, making NPCs and so on.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a mic and a Discord account. I'll provide a Milanote link. Probably will help to own the rules, and read it if possible, but things are not so complex you can't wing it on the day.
What Elizabeth brings to the table
I will bring the rules, the set up, and a boat load of enthusiasm! I'm here to twist everything you bring in on itself and make this a constant trial of moral complexities and goofy supervillain nonsense. Game has a certain grounded aspect, but rule of cool carries powers far.

How Elizabeth creates a safe table
We will do Lines and Veils at session 0, and the X card will always be available during play. Better Angels is a comedy game, but one that touches heavily on moral issues and modern day concepts, so there may be some hairy stuff in the mix.
