About the adventure
A crazy cult is gonna destroy the world - not just a school or the boring grown-up shops at the mall, but the WHOLE WORLD - and it's up to you to stop them! Now you, your friends, and your horrible friendly monsters are taking on the Cult of the Ur-Monster from one end of the United States to the other. You'll explore creepy amusement parks, dusty tourist traps, and quaint roadside farms in the throes of revolution. Also, the Land of Oz. Gas up the van, put ice in the cooler, and don't forget the trail mix. It's time to hit the road!

About me
Greetings everybody! I am a storyteller at heart who loves all forms of fiction. I run games ranging from pulpy sci-fi to gritty fantasy and everything in between. I especially love weird or non-standard settings. Superheroes in a cyberpunk city? Time-traveling fantasy adventure? Teenagers on a supernatural road trip? I'm all here for it. I believe that tabletop RPGs are a unique storytelling experience where everyone at the table becomes both author and audience to the shared story. Facilitating this shared storytelling experience is my primary goal as a GM. My games do not make use of generative AI for writing, music, or images. Storytelling is a fundamentally human experience, and synthesized plagiarism has no place in my games. I look forward to sharing stories with you! Profile picture created by Neo!

How Nathan Patrick Lane creates a safe table
Before session zero, I'll be private messaging all the players one-on-one to discuss Lines, Veils, and Wishes. Our first session will be a free session zero, wherein we will make introductions, review Lines & Veils, and create characters. We will also use a variant of X Card system called Editing Tools. Editing Tools allow players to Pause the game temporarily, Fast Forward through unpleasant content, or Rewind and rewrite the scene to avoid triggering content. At the end of every session, I will run through "Roses, Thorns, and Buds", allowing players to present positive and negative feedback about the game along with suggestions to make the game more enjoyable in the future. Bigotry will not be tolerated in this group. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or other prejudiced behaviors will warrant an immediate kick.
