About the adventure
"Welcome to the checkpoint traveler, you're required to fill out some forms before you move on. All are welcomed into the colony, but you must answer all questions honestly so that we might best put your unique skills to work. Don't worry, snacks will be provided" --- Stars without number and dangerous untold, who will you be in the far off future when space travel is a daily reality, colonies spread across solar systems as humanity adapts the the strangeness of interstellar travel. A plucky space pirate seeking the secrets of the universe? A transport operator tasked with delivering a mysterious and dangerous package? Or perhaps a crewman on a scientific exploration vessel, charting the uncharted regions of space. I offer bespoke, one on one and group based stories focused on your character as the star within various eras. With each player my goal is to work together to create a story which is fun, engaging, and impactful to the gameworld on a whole. I enjoy working with beginners to the system or system games in general, and strive to maintain solid communication above table at all times to be sure everyone's enjoying their experience. LGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergent folks heartily welcomed. $15 a week requested with the assurance that I will match your rate of posting to the best of my ability, with a guarantee of at least one post a day if I've got a reply to work with. However I offer sliding scale pricing down to free for those with a story in their hearts but wallets empty as I believe that money shouldn't get in the way of a story burning to be told.

How to prepare
All you need is a Discord account and a way to post on it. Reading the rules will be beneficial to you, but I am willing to guide any portions of the experience you're unfamiliar with, and explain any rules as they come along if you're more of a hands on learner.
What I provide
I will bring the books required to learn the systems we will be using (Mostly Pulp Cthulhu), my brain which generates the aforementioned bespoke stories, and the discord space we will use for writing together. You'll bring your imagination, creativity, and communication skills, (some dollars if you can spare them) and together we'll share some fun stories.
Gameplay details
Out of Character rules of conduct comes down to the usual you should expect in current year right? Keep all -isms (Racism, sexism, agism) and -phobia's (Homophobia, transphobia, Phobophobia) out of the space and just generally don't be mean to people who are different from you. we're all here to tell a story together so lets be kind to one another. I use lines and veils to establish what the boundaries of horror we want to explore are, and maintain an open door policy encouraging communication, especially in the case of discomfort over plot elements. While I want to provide a thrilling and spooky experience, player comfort and enjoyment are paramount and my ultimate goal, and I will use all tools at my disposal in that pursuit.

How will character creation work
I have several per-generated characters befitting the setting to choose from if desired, but otherwise will work with each player to find out what sort of character they would like to play and then design an exciting, dangerous, and spooky adventure based on what the sort of tale you're looking for. I use https://www.dholeshouse.org/Characters/CoCv7Investigators/Pulp/StepOne for character generation as it provides a nice PDF at the end of the process and makes the process nice and smooth when generating a new character. All info will be kept on the discord.
