About the adventure
"The nice thing about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you're doing, someone else does." - Immanuel Kant You ever notice how *weird* small towns can get? Out here, people are suspicious of outsiders and like things just the way they are, thank you very much. "Ghosts? Cryptids? Serial killers? Never mind all that! This is a perfectly normal town!" Town of Mist puts a new rural spin on City of Mist, moving the mythical mysteries and film noir thrills from the big gloomy city to a quirky backwater town. Inspired by Twin Peaks, Gravity Falls, and Stranger Things. š Solve the mysteries of this strange little town! š§ Meet the quirky residents of this cozy backwater - everyone has a story! š Discover the legends being retold all around you! šļø Nothing is what it seems to be! Trust no one!
š Scheduling is negotiable - feel free to contact me! 0ļøā£ Free session zero! šØ Human made art will be commissioned for your character! š No prior experience required! š¤ New players always welcome!

Knows the Rules
Hard to work with, authoritarian, and straight up aggressive. Yelled at myself and another player so aggressively his mic peaked. The other player removed themselves from the session because they were uncomfortable to carry on. In my experience, this DM plays with favortism, as well as takes petty grievances for out of game issues out on players, to which at least 2 other people can attest to. I felt that again when in the session he broke the lines and veils he initiated by mentioning suicide and asking if my character was considering it. Its not the first time: as when he discovered a player was using AI art, to which this DM never specified he was against or didnt want around and refused to communicate this with anyone involved (requiring players to piece this information together like a school kid parsing out emojies from a distant crush) the DM abruptly left the session and when he came back did not acknowledge it. In fact, he usually refuses to acknowledge his part in any negative occurance during his sessions. What really gagged me was when he yelled at me and another player, after we had finished our roleplay together and been quiet with nearly 30 seconds of dead air. I asked if we could move on to someone else, to which he replied snarkily, and when i responded that i hadnt said anything, he yelled and peaked out his mic, causing one player to leave for the evening and for me to feel bad enough to be quiet for the majority of a 3 hour session i paid to be in. During our feedback section at the end of session, i commented how i didnt like being yelled at. He apologized, but took very little accountability citing he found himself in a bad mood and his heartrate was elevated, then he immediately backtracked and laid the blame at my feet for "being an 11 out of 10" which feels backhanded as hell. Shortly after, the table dropped sequentially until he removed the game posting. I would think twice about this DM as his games have a tendency to railroad, stunt creativity, and target a player personally rather than in the spirit of the game. Unfun and unfriended.

Gameplay details
Before session zero, I'll be private messaging all the players one-on-one to discuss Lines, Veils, and Wishes. Our first session will be a free session zero, wherein we will make introductions, review Lines & Veils, and create characters. We also use a variant of X Card system called Editing Tools. Editing Tools allow players to Pause the game temporarily, Fast Forward through unpleasant content, or Rewind and rewrite the scene to avoid triggering content. At the end of every session, I will run through "Roses, Thorns, and Buds", allowing players to present positive and negative feedback about the game along with suggestions to make the game more enjoyable in the future. Bigotry will not be tolerated in this group. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or other prejudiced behaviors will warrant an immediate kick.
