About the adventure
✨ Stop the rise of an Eldritch God in modern day Tokyo! ✨Struggle with maintaining your humanity or lose it entirely! ✨Discover dangerous plots and syndicates, or make your own! ✨Traverse a JRPG inspired world with hand-drawn assets by myself! 🔞 NSFW Roleplay is allowed! An ancient god is stirring, and you are the ones chosen by its dormant rebellious children to stop it. In modern day Tokyo, dive within a secret society struggling to stop the encroaching end of the world as an Eldritch concept known as the Void begins to spread across human subconscious like a terrible disease. Cling onto your humanity and your hope, or lose it forever and turn into the monsters that are slowly ripping away at reality from its seams. You are an average citizen within the beating heart of Tokyo, swept in by this world of darkness. The world is changed forever, but one thing is for certain-- if you do nothing, everything you once loved will crumble to dust in your palms. 📚 PLAY BY POST📚 This World of Darkness campaign is played asynchronously on discord!

Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
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.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

How to prepare
Please read all of the rules and read the lore and information listed on the Session Zero. It's required that you have a computer, or another system that can run Discord like a phone. You will need to follow along the provided master sheet for the campaign, made and programmed for updates, game comprehension, loot, etcetera. You must have a Discord in order to participate. You must join the campaign server to participate. If you need assistance in any of this, I am more than happy to help. You must participate in a Session Zero. One will be listed as the first session for A Fleeting Nightmare, but if you join in late, it will be charged as a session.
What I provide
🖌️ I offer commission services to players if they wish their characters to be drawn. ✨ I provide hand-made artwork and assets, the digital books and links and all assistance needed to learn the game, and to help ease you into the game and setting. 📚 I provide a rich story-telling experience, with a variety of voices, visuals, and opportunities for your character to truly shine. This is a custom experience, where I will do my best to cater to you! 🎨 I also provide artwork of player characters! I provide a free bust sketch after three weeks, line art after ten, and flats after fifteen!
Gameplay details
We will go over the Session Zero, table rules and expectations at the beginning of the PbP campaign. For those that join later, we will schedule a short one on one to catch you up to speed. I will always do my best so that we will all be on the same page, and remain comfortable and transparent. The goal is to have fun, and I want to make sure that this is a safe space for everyone! This PbP campaign will be very dark and cover various uncomfortable topics. Please if you're interested in attending this campaign, understand that by joining this campaign, you consent in being mature with these topics, and to handle them in character and to also understand that they are being handled delicately as fictional content. Riding off of this, you must understand that the actions and beliefs of characters are not congruent to the beliefs and actions of the players who control them. The nature and theming of World of Darkness can get really spicy! Because of this, NSFW will be present in this game! You will be provided with all of the information and additional primers once you join the campaign.

How will character creation work
Characters are created individually for the campaign with me. I will work with all concepts to integrate them into the world and story. I will work with players individually in the creation of their characters and help them if needed so they can be approved. Please consult me before you make a character, as the conditions to make one are with homebrew material and information.
