About the adventure
'Bear me away into black depths, Trawler-man; I will forget my pain and the name I once wore. Rise like a dark river in my throat, Trawler-man. And my drowning lungs will sing of Tides and Flesh.' --The Silt Verses, First Chapter In Tales of the Peninsula, you play Custodians, employees of the Bureau for the Investigation and Assimilation of Stray Deities. In a world with tens of thousands of gods, your job is to track down the forgotten and stray deities causing trouble in the community and... deal with them. Sometimes that means figuring out how a community can co-exist with the god, and sometimes that means eliminating the god's threat in a more extreme way. Regardless, you are a pawn within an uncaring system, and will eventually be the target of a conspiracy that will try to use your work for its own nefarious purposes. Using The Silt Verses RPG powered by the Carved from Brindlewood system.
Game style
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.
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.

How to prepare
Mics are necessary as this isn't Play-By-Post. Webcams are welcome but not necessary. You will need a Discord account. I will provide rules for play and creation that we will go over in the Session 1.
What I provide
I will provide a Character Keeper, Maps, NPC Portraits, ambient soundtracks for mood setting, and more!
Gameplay details
First of, ALL players will fill out a Consent Checklist. It is anonymous (except for things that need to be discussed) and will let me know the baseline for what is permitted in play. No one else but me will see this checklist and the information will be presented without judgement to make sure all players feel comfortable. If the lines and veils ever change then please let me know. + I use the X Card in play. At any point during play, if you feel uncomfortable and need to stop then please drop an X in the discord chat and we can pause, discuss and either continue or wrap-up. There will be no question of the use of this except for insight to what was made uncomfortable and if a discussion needs to occur. + I also run games with an open door policy. At any point if you feel the need please step away and just reach out when you can to let us know you are okay. The benefit of home games means that we can pause, rewind, or do whatever we need and the game isn't at risk, though the safety and comfort of all players trumps the game.
