About the adventure
Welcome to Los Angeles, the City of Angels. A city of glamours and secrets, where underneath the glimmering skyscrapers and palm-lined boulevards, remnants of ancient legends and myths whisper through the veil between worlds. For people in the know, supernatural influences have always affected the city and the citizens. Sometimes in malicious and nefarious ways. That’s where you come in, as paranormal investigators with a vested interest in keeping the city safe from evil machinations. Hi there, I'm Ani a.k.a. Anistuffs. I'm running a Monster of the Week campaign set in modern day Los Angeles. This campaign is inspired by paranormal investigation TV shows like Supernatural, Lucifer, Grimm, Being Human etc. The players will face a variety of paranormal threats in long-spanning story arcs filled with action, adventure, horror, tragedy, emotional drama, and moments of comedic relief.

About me
Hello and welcome. I'm Ani, a let's player, livestreamer, and TTRPG enthusiast from India. I found out about TTRPGs being a thing in my early twenties, and got into the hobby soon after. I've since played many games across many systems. I started GMing in 2017 and I've since run many oneshots and campaigns (my longest being a Monster of the Week campaign set in Ancient Egypt that lasted over 2 years). My preferred type of games are campaigns, as I really enjoy seeing character development of the PCs over multiple sessions. Narrative-focused collaborative storytelling is the greatest appeal of TTRPGs for me. Here's my Youtube channel where I mostly stream videogames, but there’s also a few Actual Plays of some of the TTRPGs I’ve ran: https://www.youtube.com/Anistuffs

Creating your character
Since the campaign is ongoing, after you sign up, I will reach out to you in Discord to have a one on one onboarding voice call and go over the game expectations, safety tools used, content warnings, rules and mechanics for the game system, and anything else required. During this voice call or soon after, I will help create your character so that it fits the ongoing campaign narrative. After the onboarding voice call, you will join our game's Discord server, and establish inter-character relationships with the other players' characters.
No previous knowledge or experience is required. The game will start when there’s a minimum of 3 players. The current Player Characters are a Crooked and a Hard Case.
