Montana At Midnight - Don't Listen to the Woods
Relocated vampires aren't easy to deal with, but they can at least reason and respect order. Whatever's in the woods... has no interest in either.

About the adventure
A peaceful little town nestled into mountains, under the big sky of Montana, is a simple place that's become refuge for many a supernatural. As a matter of fact, aside from the tourists who flit through on their way to Yellowstone Park, the town is 95% werewolves. With the only exception until now being their children, these werewolves live a relatively peaceful life without the worry of breaking the rules of the rest of the world. The Wild Hunt, the dominant force in the area, is a group of werewolf bikers that keep the area safe from the dark forces that walk this world. A tightknit, brotherhood centric group with a track record for quiet efficiency when needed. Pillars of the community and professional nuisances at the same time. Despite their best efforts, however, two groups of vampires have recently decided to call this place home as well. Outside the town, on a large plot of land where werewolves are not allowed to venture, a commune that reeks of undead has cropped up under the blinded eyes of a spooky priest. The other, a smaller, less worrisome but still annoying group, has been relocated from their original homes. Something about a highway pileup and a mass embrace in the south? As the town adjusts to their new neighbors, a woman has gone missing on a hiking trip. One week without contact or retrieval of the hiker, the only trail being her appearance in dreams around the area. Pack your gear and dress warm, there's a ticket to Montana waiting for you!

About me
Hello and welcome! I’m Pierce and I’d like to be your GM! I hope your travels so far have been kind to you, and I hope you’re ready for another! Or, if this is your first adventure, I’m honored to be your guide as you take your first steps! A bit about me: - I’ve been a professional dungeon master for 1 year, teaching kids aged 8-15 the ins and outs and joys of D&D. - I’ve been a hobbyist GM for 6 years, running home games for friends and family across several systems. - I’m an artist (and former tattoo artist), and can/will provide hand drawn character portraits for you and your table! - My favorite TTRPG system is the World of Darkness Storyteller System, with Dungeons and Dragons as a close second. - I am an avid video gamer as well, and play a multitude of games on PC, and have a big soft spot in my heart for Rock Band. Things to expect at my table: - Focus on role playing, where combat is used for the story rather than to fill space, and exploration is up to you. - Stories catered to you and your character rather than rigid adherence to existing narratives. - Active interest in your character arc and goals, tell me where you wanna go and how! - A dedicated discord server for each game with active participation from me - An open-door policy for kind and friendly conversation, even about the hard stuff - Curated Spotify/Youtube playlists to encapsulate the vibes of your game - Mutual respect for every single person, regardless of any variables - Time taken for each and every person at the table to get their handle on the rules and gameplay, with any assistance needed freely given. If all of this sounds like something you’d like to be part of, I’d like to formally invite you to join me at the table! I’m excited to meet you and craft your next favorite adventure.

How Pierce creates a safe table
A link will be provided in the discord with a Google Forms Lines and Veils doc, which will be anonymous, and the results will be shared with the group to ensure cooperation as mutual respect. These topics will be removed from the gameplay unless it is crucial to our story. Certain topics cannot be avoided, and those will be discussed at our session 0.
