About the adventure
What do you seek that would drive you to this place? A lost lover? A cure for the incurable? Simple wealth? Whatever it is, traveler, you should not stay long. The Heart of the West watches. Fog City is an original short eldritch horror campaign set in 1906 San Francisco. Explore and survive the infamous Barbary Coast district and the manor of Michel Marlen, said to contain great treasures that always come at a cost.
Game style
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.
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.

Additional details
How to prepare
I can help you learn the Cypher system; it's fairly accessible and quick to learn. Other than that, a camera is appreciated but not necessary and a mic is required except in special cases.
What I provide
I'm a rule of cool GM with lots of voices under my belt, as well as homemade maps to fit each battle run through Foundry VTT (or any 2D VTT if you prefer.) We can work together to design player tokens for you!
Gameplay details
We'll run a free session 0 before starting where we can talk about any topics I should hard avoid, and anything I should keep less intense. We can also discuss the best way for you to do x cards.
