About the adventure
Directly before World War II, five unfortunate souls find themselves stranded in a strange appalachian town by the name of "Blackthorn" only to discover the sinister reality hidden past the veil of what is known. This is a character focused and roleplay heavy campaigning that revolves around investigation, horror, and problem solving.
Game style
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.
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.

How to prepare
I definitely recommend you read a bit of the rulebook beforehand if you aren't familiar, however this isnt necessary(ill teach as we go if you aren't familiar) I prefer using talespire but I understand not everyone wants to buy it, so ive opted for using a browser extension called "Owlbear Rodeo". It requires no download, no prep, and no stress on your part. To prepare for my games, all you need to do is come with an open mind and a passion for roleplaying!
What I provide
I will have tokens, tools to enhance the audio experience, maps to be used in a free virtual tabletop. I use soundboard, ambience, music, voice effects aswell as massive collection of character voices to heighten your experience during play. Im rules as written when it comes to the mechanics of the game but I absolutely embrace the rule of cool in my players- if you can solve it creatively, I welcome it. All in all you can expect me to be Theatrical, passionate, and welcoming at the table. I am here to help you tell an amazing and immersive story with characters that feel authentic
