About the adventure
"Hail and well met traveler. I'll let you share my fire for a tale. After all It's best not to be wandering after dark, not safe, what with the rumors of strange creatures buzzing around lately." The bard smiled, looking over you with appraising eyes, "Please sit down for a spell, spin a yarn and tell your story." ---- ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ Who will you be in an era of valor and greed, a valiant knight tasked with a terrible curse? A peasant who comes into possession of an artifact worth a fortune? A princess burdened with a terrible legacy? I offer bespoke, one on one and group based stories. Adventures focused on your character as the star. With each player my goal is to work together to create a story which is fun, engaging, and impactful to the gameworld's overarching history. 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 also 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.

About me
๐ฎ๐พ๐๐ธ๐ ๐๐ฝ๐๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ ๐ท๐๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐๐๐ถ๐๐, ๐ฝ๐๐๐ถ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐น ๐๐๐๐๐พ๐๐. Aspirational, cautionary, horrific, wondrous, sweet, funny, and tragic. Stories are a balm to sooth in hard times, a plan for growth, and a chance to reflect. A hobby nearly as old as humanity itself, sitting around fires and spinning yarn with good company. This is the tradition I seek to embody. Greetings seeker, thank you for seeing me. You may be asking yourself, "With so many options available on this lovely website, why should you decide to sit at my table? What sets this person apart?" To that I say I do not wish to be set apart. I want to sit with you, and find out the story your heart yearns to sing. I want to help explore something new, I would very much like to show you why I love collaborative storytelling. If you're new, I want to show you what this beautiful hobby has to offer, and if you're a veteran storyteller and already know? Then I want to see what we can make applying our skills together. I'm a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and I'm fond of the many things that make everyone unique human beings, and I will strive to create a safe and fun environment to explore the stories we tell together. Finally, I'm more than happy to work with beginners to any system I'm familiar with to help you learn the game. For the more experienced player, I love the act of exploring oneself through characters, and I would be happy to create the space for said exploration. So wanderer, if you're curious, feel free to direct message me with any questions you might have, I am always glad to make new friends!

Creating your character
I have several pre-made characters to choose from for those who do not feel like making their own, if you wish to make your own, we will be using the default Pulp Cthulhu Medium Pulp rules and I will be happy to set aside a little time to walk you through the process and get to know the character you're trying to bring. Each character will have a bespoke solo-story within this era, and if players within a setting would like to collaborate for group adventures, I will facilitate for those as well.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
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 Weird Wanderings brings to the table
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, and together we'll make some fun stories together. Sound good?
Homebrew rules
Full Homebrew rules on discord. In short, some skills are tweaked according to the era in which the character is played, and experience is modified for play by post. I am open to homebrew traits/spells/artifacts according to whatever story we're looking to tell.

How Weird Wanderings creates a safe table
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.
