SLUGBLASTER: this is your brain on portals.
Slugblaster | Campaign
About the adventure
It's a dangerous, thrilling, brand-new hobby. It's a counter-cultural teen lifestyle phenomenon. It's a full-blown moral panic. And it's the coolest thing ever. This is SLUGBLASTING. Overload your circuit-bent hoverboard juuuust right at a place where reality is extra thin, and you might find yourself riding high-vibrational quantum energy waves to another dimension! A dimension with no parents to tell you what to do, no responsibilities, just you, your friends, your boards, flesh-eating alien monstrosities, and endless potential. Of course, by the time you ride the portal home (or get "rescued" by the interdimensional cops) your boring old life will be waiting up for you, tapping its foot in consternation. But if you could just nail that trick you've been practicing on video, or get your custom aftermarket raygun mod to stabilize, or best of all, score a big-name sponsor, you could show 'em. You and your crew could show your peers, your families, and the revered founders of slugblasting itself who you really are, and secure your legacy forever. Slugblaster is a tabletop roleplaying game set in a world of timeless nostalgia, where teens rebel by riding through transdimensional portals to pull stunts, hang out, do tricks, show alien monsters who's boss, and figure out who they wanna be. We'll create a crew of tight-knit friends and play to find out what it's gonna take to make it to the top and become slugblasting legends.

One of my favorite story tellers ever! Sean slotted me into an ongoing game with ease and immediately made me feel like an important part of the action. And what action there was! Sean ran an amazing campaign of Blades in the Dark filled with action, adventure, and intrigue. He involved every player and rolled with every suggestion. I don't think the word "no" is in this man's vocabulary.

Sean has a taste for storytelling that is infectious. The kind of game master who gets so excited not only his writing but the stories being led by his players.
Jeannie
Very open & welcoming, knowledgable & responsive I am at the very beginning of DMing I did not feel small or judged for asking what I feel were pretty basic questions.

I've been playing with Sean for over 2 years now - he never fails to disappoint. I feel very fortunate to have his guidance as I begin to explore the daunting world of GMing. He is clearly so passionate and knowledgeable about his craft, and he has a lot of experience to inform his very useful advice. Beyond that, he is an excellent moderator for these types of sessions, ensuring everyone has time to speak and share their opinions.
Nikko
Wonderfully informative GM workshop! Sean is very passionate and has great tips and ideas. Workshop was entirely based on the questions the participants had, and was a great learning (& sharing) environment for all experience levels!

We actually did a GM Tips and Tricks session. It was amazing. Not just for the information Sean provided, but the information exchange he facilitated. He seems to be a thoughtful and communicative GM.
Additional details
How to prepare
You will need: -a free Discord account -a working microphone -headphones encouraged (or at least some way to block ambient noise and prevent feedback -a free account on the Role app -webcam optional (I will be on video, but no players are expected to be!) -no experience necessary! I will teach the game and any relevant rules, but you are cordially welcomed to pick up the game and learn how it works!
What I provide
I'll set up character sheets, visual aids, maps, and virtual dice on the Role app, where we'll be playing. You can expect me to bring a complete knowledge of the rules and an eagerness to teach and learn as we go, as well as fully voiced and highly motivated NPCs for you to bounce off of. The story that emerges from our play will be natural, compelling, and entirely unique to our group, as you will always have real, meaningful choices to make!
Gameplay details
Before play, I'll discuss with players if there's anything they'd like to remove or veil during our game. During play, players are encouraged to send green/yellow/red light check-ins or X cards either on video, audio or text channels if we need to check in. Additionally, there is a ten-minute break about halfway through each session. And of course, we respect the rights of anyone who needs to leave for any reason.

How will character creation work
We'll create a Crew of characters together in the first session. Players who join after the first session can send me a message so we can work out whether your character is a new addition to the crew, an old friend who's finally started slugblasting, a sibling or friend of an existing crew member, or something of their own creation! In any case, I'll walk players through the character creation process.
