About the adventure
It's Christmas; a time of togetherness and joy. A family of selfish, well off siblings have gathered in a rented cabin at a ski resort to celebrate-- er, mourn-- the recent passing of their parents. Putting no time to waste in starting to spend the inheritance, they gather their gifts and libations and prepare for an enjoyable holiday. But do such naughty people deserve a merry Christmas? And what might step in to ensure they receive their coal? (This original scenario takes place in the modern day)

About me
I'm passionate about horror and storytelling and the opportunity to explore it collaboratively through ttrpgs-- ESPECIALLY Call of Cthulhu. It's a fun creative outlet ( I run primarily original scenarios I myself write) and I love seeing the way players interact with and influence the narratives I conceive.

Creating your character
Pre-gen characters will be available to choose from with only the age and occupation set. Players will have the opportunity to choose their own names, pronouns, personalities, and histories, including the exact nature of the relationships between them and their fellow player characters
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Mics will be required, headphones VERY strongly encouraged, and webcams optional (though gently encouraged as a way to check in more quickly). I expect players to have their own dice or be able to manage their own online dice roller.

How Mina FANE creates a safe table
As an investigation based game, any session of Call of Cthulhu can be expected to be about your characters being confronted with and attempting to resolve a mystery. Should combat occur you can expect it to be fast and dangerous; brutal even by other rpg standards. I enjoy a roleplay heavy style and love when players get creative. I can be pretty flexible and open to entertaining ideas, but they need to be tempered by the understanding that the characters are normal people inhabiting a normal(-ish) world and bound by the limitations of such. In Call of Cthulhu, you are not the hero. There are not heroes; only people trying their best to survive. Additionally, any CoC one shot is best thought of as a horror movie. I delight on discovering who among my players will be my "final girl", so-to-speak. Assuming anyone survives (I'm secretly rooting for you all).
