About the adventure
A continuation in the world of the series I run called A Time Lost! Set in 1890 - 1917 in New England in the US. You will be playing as a group trying to improve- or make the situation in the world worse. Work together with the others to make it out through this homebrew, hand-spun tale that's completely over voice! This campaign has a continuation of Play-By-Post when the campaign is through for those who want character development. ⭐Character creation is really easy with no stats involved, and the system used is a simple roll a d20 system. Players don't need to track ability scores or modifiers, making it very accessible. Perfect for brand new players, and for those who want to dip their feet into getting back into one-shot campaigns!

About me
Hey there! I'm a professional artist and illustrator, you can see my work at https://www.patchypines.com if you're interested in seeing my work. I'm a really down to earth and laidback individual who loves running and playing TTRPG's. I'll be running only fully custom original stories and settings either in D&D 5e, Risus, Kids on Bikes/Kids on Brooms, and Ghostbusters RPG settings with my own Homebrew twist on the systems. All of my games are LGBTQIA+ friendly, and beginner friendly. I include disability representation, as well as plenty of representation across the gender spectrum and the neurodivergent spectrum. Let's sit together and get a character sheet fleshed out! I can't wait to see what stories we'll make together.

Creating your character
Character creation involves character sheets you need to fill out through Google Docs, there's a whole character creation channel that walks you through what you need to do in order. You have a choice between playing as someone afflicted with Lutines, or someone who does not. There's lore, and more that should be read before you dig into your character sheet. Every player gets their own private channel to work with me individually on their sheet and ask private questions for their character for those who need additional help when it comes to character creation and design.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Discord A Microphone ( Or ability to type, I support those without a mic ) Some way to take notes for yourself, either with a notepad and paper, document, stickynotes e.t.c.
What Sylvester The Mothman ( PatchyPines ) brings to the table
For this campaign I'll be hosting it only through Discord! I'm lenient with rules and homebrewing so please don't be afraid to reach out to me!
Homebrew rules
For this if you play as a character with Lutines which is a condition I made up, you are only allowed to have one magical ability which will need to be individually crafted to have both pros and massive cons upon use of said magic.

Safety
How Sylvester The Mothman ( PatchyPines ) creates a safe table
For every player, I will be sending a fill-out consent form that goes over any possible triggers and disabilities such a reading/math comprehension problems, situations where a player were to go non-verbal, prevention of over-stimulation, and if I should include more bio/bathroom breaks so I can cater the campaign to ensure it's a safe, and fun experience for the whole party to enjoy. Before session starts, I'll go over everything and any possible triggers to ensure everyone is equally up to speed on respecting the boundaries and comfort of the party and an overview of what will be in the session. After the campaign is over, I'll touch base to see how you're doing to make sure the situation in this campaign didn't cause any lingering thoughts or unintentional harm.
