About the adventure
"... Why did they do this to you... ?" asks a woman as she mourns over her husband's body. Your circle has to investigate the murder of Frank Sommerfields. You know he was not a good man, but that is far from enough to solve the case. Is this case connected to the one reported by the media a week ago in the nearby state? Or maybe to the one where that senator was involved? You and your circle will not only have to solve the mystery, but you will also have to try and defy the odds by doing so without anyone outside the circle noticing. Pick up clues 🔎, fight off spirits 👻, outsmart police 🚨, and much... much more. ----------------------------------------------- This is a dice pool system in a horror noir scenario. - NO experience is needed ❗ - SAFE SPACE | NO BIGOTRY ALLOWED ❗ - NO pressure to act or do voices on your side. ❗ I'll encourage creativity, collective exploration of roleplaying mechanics and other ways to have fun.
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.
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
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.

What I provide
📜 I'll provide you with the Rules Cheat Sheet, although I'll be holding your hand at all times ruleswise. 🎲 Virtual Dice. 🎶 I bring a curated playlist for the adventure, and imagery 🖼️ to increase the immersion. ♟️ I'll make customized tokens of your character for the VTT (With your own drawing or image, if you prefer that) 🕵️♀️ I also bring a bag of ideas for Pregen characters! 💬 Lastly, a 24/7 open Discord server for scheduling and between-session socialization. - One of my main skills as a GM is adaptability. The story and overall vibe will be tweaked according to the players and their preferences. - I'd also say I am pretty good at storytelling. You won't regret joining my table! - I try to make the world feel alive and make you engage with it!
Gameplay details
1. We will have a FREE Session 0 where we will create characters and go over boundaries. There we will fill a Lines & Veils form 📜 In Session 0 we will also create characters and learn to use the VTT and platforms. 2. During the session we'll schedule breaks, but besides them you can ALWAYS send me a DM during the session with an X, N or O so I can change the direction of the scene or re-schedule a break. ❌ 3. After the session, we'll stay in the Discord for a couple minutes to make sure everyone is OK and talk about the experience. There we will also talk about our Stars and Wishes. ✨ - This is OVER ALL ELSE a SAFE space. - You will NOT be judged, and ALL concerns are valid and will be respected. 💜
