How Trace Wolfgang creates a safe table
The game will be hosted with Discord! This is where we will go over character selection, lines and veils, safety tools, and get to know one another! If you don't feel comfortable doing a voice or acting in the game, that is totally ok! We are here to have fun, so do what would be most fun for you! We will be using Pre-Generated Call of Cthulhu characters that you can all pick from!
