Game style

Theater of the Mind

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

Additional details

How to prepare

Be sure that you can attend the game constantly. Sessions take 3 hours, may take longer or a little bit shorter depending on the scene. Be sure that you have a working PC, stable internet connection, and a decent microphone that can capture your voice clearly. Be sure that you have a working Webcam, because most of the game will be as Theater of the Mind, and it's always the best to see each other's faces. That's all. There's no any other homework for you.

What I provide

I will bring an interactive interface for Foundry, an intense Call of Cthulhu experience, and ambient music.

Gameplay details

The game is a long, weekly campaign that is focused on investigation. You will fight against evil death cults, try to survive and save the world! Game rules are easy to understand, but session zero is needed for creating characters. Please consider this game if you want to be in a long campaign. If you feel any discomfort during the game because of descriptions, you can cut my words and notice about it, so we don't get into its details and pass the scene quickly.
