About the adventure
Recently, you and your fellow Hunters have just come into a strange inheritance - one House to be shared amongst the lot of you. Your mysterious benefactor has only one request: that you take up the mantle of dealing with the various supernatural threats that have a tendency to crop up around the city. You are, of course, expected to reside in the House, irregardless of whatever other living arrangements you may have previously had. As if there weren't enough supernatural occurrences throughout the city, the very House you've inherited seems to have a mind of its own. It creates and removes rooms on a whim, changes where things are, and, sometimes, you swear it whispers to you in your dreams... Will you and your fellow Hunters survive your new jobs (and residence) long enough to learn the truth of the matter? Only if you're up to the challenge, really. This campaign is for players of all experience levels, so feel free to join even if you're unfamiliar with the system!

About me
Hi, I'm Sonderania (Sonder for short!), I use she/her pronouns, and I've been playing and GM-ing TTRPGs for about 5 years, and designing them for about 4. I love collaborative storytelling and greatly enjoy tailoring narratives for characters. I've run a variety of TTRPGs spanning various systems and genres such as Monster of the Week, Masks, The Between, Absurdia, and a variety of other PbtAs. I'm also familiar with similar systems such as FitD, Belonging Outside Belonging, Rooted in Trophy, and the Resistance system. I would be more than happy to tailor any of these games to suit your table's needs! I'm also open to running any other rules-light TTRPGs of a similar nature, so feel free to reach out to me anytime!

Creating your character
Upon signing up for the game, you will receive an invite to the Discord server where the game will be hosted. There you will find a player resources channel with a Google Drive with the fillable character keeper (with a lines and veils section) and available playbooks. Characters will start at the base creation level. Feel free to ping me at any time if you have any questions!

Safety
How Sonderania creates a safe table
- There will be a (free) Session 0 before the beginning of the campaign where I will explain the rules and premise of the game as well as guide the players through character creation. - Every player will be encouraged to add their Lines and Veils to a shared Google Sheet (this will be anonymous). - Around once an hour, we will be taking 5-10 minute breaks - X, N, and O cards will be via message or on voice chat. - If an Open Door is invoked, other than asking if the player will be back later and what triggered the Open Door no other questions will be asked. - Stars and Wishes will be discussed at the end of the session.
