So, if you're ready for the ultimate challenge, if you're eager to test your mettle and prove your strength, then join our hunting squad in "Monster of the Week." The darkness is calling - will you answer? ------- [[Beginner & LGBTQIA2S+ Friendly]] ⭐: Hear what GM Mr. Patrick has to say about my GMing: 🗣️:"Leland brought the fun with the "Elvis Has Left the Building" one-shot. Given the subject material, he stepped up to the plate in regards to character voices, and the rest was a madcap romp of pop culture references and slightly-to-over-the-top zany fun as our Hunters tried to figure out what the heck was going on. He also gave us free rein with our characters to go outside the box to come up with solutions and routes-to-(hopeful)-success. I'm not sure, had this been a 'serious' game, that ANYONE would have survived by the end (especially given our penchant for 6- rolls), but somehow we stumbled our way to the exciting conclusion. Since he plans on running it again, I recommend giving "Elvis Has Left the Building", and Leland's other games, a try!"

About me
Hey hey! I’m Leland, and I’ve been running TTRPG's since the early 2000's, basically forever at this point, and still loving every second of it! I’m all about weird stories, haunted places, big emotions, and characters that actually matter. If you're the kind of player who cares about the story you're telling and loves when the world responds to your choices, we’ll get along just fine. What to expect at my table: 🎭 Roleplay/Story-forward gameplay 🌍 A living world that reacts to your decisions 📘 Rules that bend to support the scenario 🏳️🌈 A super chill, inclusive space to hang out in I run everything from cozy slice-of-life to full-on horror; sometimes both in the same session! If you like found family, strange magic, and a little chaos, you’re most definitely in the right place. You bring the character, I’ll bring the world. Let’s make something rad together!

Creating your character
Pre-made characters will be uploaded into roll20, with pre-established relationships between them, already written out! We will use the first 30 mins or so, going over all of these characters as a group, so we're familiar with them before diving into the mystery.

Preparing for the session
🎲 Download the zoom desktop client here: https://us05web.zoom.us/download#client_4meeting (This is where we will host our games during live play. Video is completely optional.) There's not much you should do to prepare other than maybe look into the game, if you have the free time. Just to get hyped, haha. Otherwise, we'll learn everything together and ease right into the game! Here's a great video that teaches you the basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMIb__oPvw0 New to StartPlaying?

How Leland House creates a safe table
I'll have everyone submit lines/veils to me via discord DM's, then I will list them on the Roll20 campaign landing page. You will have pre-made characters to choose from at the start of the one shot, with pre-established connections. We will spend the first 30 minutes going over everyone's choices as a group, before diving into the mystery.
