About the adventure
Deep under Las Vegas a dead god who fell to earth in ancient time bleeds into the rock and sand, forming a reality altering crystal called Blue Cinder. All the factions of the city race to snatch it up and control fate and probability first. Moving under the watchful eye of the Technocracy in Las Vegas, the cabal uncovers a deeply rooted nephandic group masquerading as a mega church and wellness app. As they chase pieces of Blue Cinder, they discover a slumbering entity beneath the city that the Nephandi wish to awaken. The cabal seeks allies to take the fight to the enemy. This chronicle is urban occult mystery + high-stakes character drama. All players are welcome, new and old alike. This is an inclusive table. Come join us, roll the dice, and change the world.

About me
🎲 “Hold on, let me roll Persuasion first… success!” Hello, I’m Tyler — a storyteller, designer, and lifelong gamer with decades of experience behind the screen. My players describe me as Immersive, Supportive, and Masterful. I’ve guided hundreds of players through unforgettable games at conventions, on streams and podcasts, and in home campaigns across North and South America. I’ve collaborated with publishers like Onyx Path, Free League, Chaosium, and Helmgast, and I’m also a published writer and designer with credits in both indie and professional TTRPG projects. Whether it’s your first session or your hundredth, my goal is always the same: create a safe, inclusive space where your story matters. I invite you to explore my reviews and join a game to see why so many players return to my tables again and again.

Creating your character
Character creation is a collaborative process. We will work together to create your character prior to your first session. As a game designer, I will personally work with you to ensure your character's concept, backstory, and motivations have a meaningful and satisfying impact on the story's narrative.
The cabal is roleplay-driven and collaborative, with members who thrive on character interaction and shared mystery. We are looking for players who want to lean into the strangeness of Mage, who enjoy deep storylines and philosophical challenges, and who feel at home in a late-night game that runs on creativity, collaboration, and a willingness to dream.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Bring a microphone, a spirit for collaborative storytelling, and a taste for adventure! You will also need a free Foundry account. You will connect in your web browser and you do not need any Foundry knowledge ahead of time.
What Tyler brings to the table
I’ll provide a fully prepped Foundry VTT with maps, matching tokens for all players using art you provide or I provide as you choose, and an atmospheric soundtrack to sink you into the story. Expect a narrative style that keeps the tension sharp. PDFs will be available for reference. My focus is on deep immersion, collaborative storytelling, and player-driven narratives. You can expect rich worlds, dramatic twists, and characters who feel alive. I also provide a community discord server with its own private category just for members of this campaign and public channels to spend time with other fellow TTRPG lovers.
Homebrew rules
Any special rules for our game will be discussed at the first session. Otherwise it's rules as written, but always the Rule of Cool.

Safety
How Tyler creates a safe table
Player safety is always my top priority. Part of the first session of the campaign will include a disussion about the safety tools in use, any topics people don't want to see come up, setting expectations for play, and answering any questions about content. If at any point a topic comes up that makes you feel uncomfortable, there will be tools in place for you to immediately stop the scene and the offending content will be treated the way you indicate, no questions asked. This flagging is anonymous. There will be a short scheduled break about halfway through the session. This will be a good opportunity to go to the bathroom, have a quick snack or a drink, or message the DM about any concerns you may not have felt comfortable bringing up in the moment. I am also always available for a DM about anything you want to discuss in private.
