New review
Andy is really good at setting the mood. It's really immersive to get into his story telling. He does good acting with the NPCs that really reflects the emotions those NPCs are going through.

Andy is the very definition of amazing game master! Knowing the rules is only one facet of being a game master, dungeon master, keeper of arcane lore. Being able to weave stories that appeal to a variety of different players, that pulls you in and makes you feel like you are truly there. That is what differentiates a good game master with a phenomenal one. Andy is a truly wonderful storyteller and game master! If you haven't played with him yet, you are missing out!

How to prepare
No game preparation is required unless you would like to do some background reading on what life was like in 1920's New England.

A discord account (https://discord.com/) and at least a working microphone for your voice. A camera for your video is also recommended.

What I provide
This game will run on Roll20 for the Virtual Table Top and pre-generated Player Characters will be provided within that application. This is also where we will do all dice rolls. A link to the Roll20 game will be sent once you sign up! I have an exuberant GM style and try my best to bring all the NPCs to life via voice characterisation (forgive my terrible accents :-). We shall use Discord for Audio and Video and a link to my discord server will be sent once you sign up! I am not a rules lawyer and will Game Master for 'maximum game inclusion and fun'
