About me
Hello! I'm Cain, and I have been DMing for over 10 years now. I love to tell player's stories and help them experience a fun adventure driven by their choices! One of my games is currently mentioned on RPGBot's Podcast, as one of the host's recounts his tales! All games are LGBT Friendly and a welcome space for all! My experience with TTRPGs began with Pathfinder all the way back in high school, and the love for the genre and leading people on daring quests has only grown ever since. I would be honored to be the one to lead you on a journey where you forge new friendships, leave lasting memories, and overcome hardships. You may even learn more about yourself on the road ahead.

How Cain Laurant creates a safe table
Session 0 is Free. Lines and Veils will be Discussed. Stars and Wishes will be used. X,N, and O cards will be on the table. Anytime you feel uncomfortable, please feel free to let me know! As this is CoS, it will feature many horror themes and uncomfortable situations involving mainly NPCs, but we can always tone things back.
