The Hunger At Coronal Lake (A Wraith the Oblivion story)
Wraith: The Oblivion 20th Anniversary Edition | Campaign
About the adventure
The relics litter the northern landscape. Towns abandoned when the mine is tapped out, or when the price of metal drops too low to make continuing too costly. These are ghost towns of a modern era, the corpses of industrialization rotting in the boreal forest. The living inhabitants of these places fled to greener pastures. The dead do not always have the same luxury. 50 years ago, the copper ran out in Coronal Lake Mine and the tiny community abandoned their homes, store, and school. In the last days of Coronal Lake harsh truths were laid bare and memories haunt as surely as the Restless. Now, though, a reunion of sorts is in the works and the living and the dead may be forced to deal with secrets that refuse to stay buried. This story is a brief excursion into the dark and unsettling world of Wraith the Oblivion. Players take on the role of ghosts who are now forced to face the things left undone in life. All are connected to the events of Coronal Lake's death throes half a century ago. Step off the train into the dark forest and visit a now-infamous place of empty streets and collapsing roofs. And maybe--just maybe--some may find redemption, absolution or, finally, peace.

How to prepare
Players will need a working microphone and good connection. Video is not required. Accounts on Discord for voice chat and Roll20 for game specific actions are also needed.
What I provide
I bring decades of experience with Wraith and a love of telling stories that delve into the dark and macabre.
Gameplay details
Wraith the Oblivion can be a very intense game that explores emotionally charged subjects. Player safety and comfort is a priority for me and to this end we start with a Session 0 to go over the Lines and Veils I bring as a Storyteller, and to expand on those with content the players would like to avoid. I also maintain an open door policy and anyone may step away from the table at any time without judgement and when everyone is comfortable we can gather together to discuss what may have caused an issue.

How will character creation work
Character creation works best as a group during Session 0. Players will take the roles of recently deceased people navigating the horrifying Shadowlands between life and death. As this is most likely a novice group of players, the Storyteller will handle most of the Shadowguide roles initially until everyone is comfortable taking those roles themselves.
