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.
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.

Additional details
How to prepare
-A Discord Account (That's where we are going to talk) -A Roll20 Account (That's the VTT where the session is going to take place) -A PC or laptop -Headphones and a microphone - A stable Internet Connection (It's also recommended that you put a webcam on, it can help on role-play and character interactions but it's not mandatory at all)
What I provide
I'll bring a premium subscription to Roll20, maps, pictures and handouts and grim music to give a darker feeling to the chronicle.
Gameplay details
At the start of every session, we will do a quick recap outside of normal game time to remember the events that happened in the last session.The chronicle will always be played in roll20 with images and maps of the scenery around the characters (descriptions won't be too long and I will enhance the experience with different handouts, my priority is putting you inside the scene with pictures without taking up your time to play), its going to be a chronicle focused around role-play and players agency inside Chicago. A session will usually be 3 hours long, but I'll always try to leave the game in specific moments so they can be going for 30 minutes more. A five minute break will always happen at the middle of a session for grabbing snacks or bio-breaks. At the end you'll have time to make criticism and tell me your opinion and the things you would change about the game.
