And what dark secrets lie buried beneath Knoxville’s rustic charm? 🔎 What Awaits You: A campaign steeped in intrigue, horror, and psychological thriller elements. The chance to explore Knoxville’s bloody history and navigate its dangerous political landscape. A story driven by your choices—improvised around the unique characters you bring to the table.

Game style
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.
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.
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.

We will meet at the session time and go over anything we might need to before getting started with the session. If something come up that is too much anyone can call for a break and we can figure out where to go from there. Afterward we can talk for a bit to decompress and discuss anything that needs review.
