About the adventure
Welcome to Illogia, a town so infused with entropy that every hallmark of normalcy is infused with chaos. Of course the town cemetery has visiting days for people to interact with the living dead - to not have such a thing would be abnormal! This is where you live, having slowly grown accustomed to the abnormality. After all, one can only be surprised by Trash Collection so many times before they learn to expect it (the inherent danger of it serves as an excellent motivator). You've also lived here long enough to know there's no way to escape this place (yet?) - all you can do is try to survive and overcome the community you live in. Torn between your alliances to yourself, your friends, and your factions; how long will it take before you, too, are absorbed by the strangeness about town? This is a simple starter campaign for players of all experience levels, so feel free to join even if you're unfamiliar with the system! Note: Except for under extenuating circumstances, leaving the game less than 3 hours before game time will not be refunded.

About me
Hi, I'm Sonder, I use she/her pronouns, and I've been playing and GM-ing TTRPGs for about 5 years, and designing them for about 4. I love collaborative storytelling and greatly enjoy tailoring narratives for characters. I've run a variety of TTRPGs spanning various systems and genres such as Monster of the Week, Masks, The Between, Absurdia, and a variety of other PbtAs. I'm also familiar with similar systems such as FitD, Belonging Outside Belonging, Rooted in Trophy, and the Resistance system. I would be more than happy to tailor any of these games to suit your table's needs! I'm also open to running any other rules-light TTRPGs of a similar nature, so feel free to reach out to me anytime!

Creating your character
Upon signing up for the game, you will be added to a Discord server created specifically for this game. There you will find a player resources channel with a Google Drive with the fillable character sheets, lines and veils document, and available playbooks. Characters will start at the base creation level. Feel free to ping me at any time if you have any questions!
