About me

<-- Runs custom Birthday One Shots Gamer, Dad, Forever DM, getting good at voices (according to my very generous players), love storytelling, and the tactical elements of the game! I love everything from serious and dark, to goofy munchkin nonsense! Oh, and there will probably be a higher than usual focus on food in my games. I'm a chef and can't help it. My goal is to deliver an experience you're happy to be a part of, let me know how I can make that happen. Rule #1 Be Kind - we're all here to have fun, playing a game, and telling stories together.

Character creation

Creating your character

We'll do this together during session 0 as there are certain things that can only appear once per group, and we don't want any cross over. It's a 2d6 pass/fail system, and character creation will go fast.

The current party

90% of this game is Theater of the Mind, I'll be using Discord for art, and handouts.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You'll need Discord, Roll20, a mic, and the desire to play as a little old lady who solves crimes with her book club while thwarting an evil cult hell bent on bringing Chthonic horror into your peaceful little town. All while keeping up with your hobbies.

What Charlie Bastian brings to the table

As your Keeper I'll be bringing 25+ years of game running experience, 2 of them professionally here on StartPlaying. I'm gonna bring, maps, music, mystery, murder, mayhem and more.

Safety

How Charlie Bastian creates a safe table

Hello, this game is based off the stylized murder of the week tv shows, most notably Murder She Wrote. Though with more Cthulhu...It can get creepy, but mostly is a sweet little game. We'll go over any lines during session 0, and talk about veils. I don't expect this one to hit any triggers really.
