About the adventure
Weary detectives and jaded tabloid reporters look to untangle a shocking murder and a missing painting. Cruise the high and low districts of night-time Lisbon and uncover the filth which hides in its shadows! This weeks adventure is "Giallo Pulp", a lurid crime and horror, genre featuring psychotic behavior, jarring sound tracks and flying cats. Mario and Lamberto Bava, Ruggero Deodato, Lucio Fulci and Dario Argento are among Giallo's most eminent names. The genre combines murder-mystery with elements of crime thriller, psychological horror, sexploitation and (very rarely) supernatural horror. It's late seventies Lisbon, Portugal. Three years after being freed from forty years of dictatorship, the country isn't the same. Coca-Cola is officially introduced. Star Wars is in theaters. Any Place, Any Time, Any Genre! Call of Cthulhu is at heart a universal game engine. Check in Fridays to find different types of games being offered, all to be played out in one session! Cyberpunk, Historical Fantasy, Espionage, Science-Fantasy, Western, who knows what I will post next. If you know how to play CoC you know all you need to jump right into the action!

About me
This is Old-School! Hi, I'm Jay and I run pretty good games, usually something released in the early days of the hobby. I find a firm grip on the genre being run has more of an impact then system does overall. My games are going to appeal to players looking to interact with their fellow players around the table, and roll real dice out their hands. I will bring quality adventures built on the best stuff available. I deliver living game worlds for the following genres - Pulp Sword & Sorcery, Age of Sail, Supernatural Horror, Gritty Sci-Fi, Dying Earth Fantasy, Space Opera, and Contemporary Super Heroes. Original content supported by published materials and unique adventure content. World-wide time zone scheduling available (US Based)

Creating your character
Premade characters will be provided once you sign up for the game. This is why you will need a Discord server, I keep the character sheets there. If you do not, or do not want to have a Discord account, no problem! I can email your sheet directly.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Video camera and microphone required. I believe it is essential for ttrpg play everyone can interact with each other, and this includes facial expressions and body language. Also I live stream the event on Youtube so everyone can always return to the "Scene of the Crime" and relive their night of glory. And dice. You will need dice to roll. You get to roll your own dice, how cool is that!?!
What Vanishing Tower Play brings to the table
I am using the startplaying campaign template so I do not have to rewrite and repost this game opportunity every week. I only change the details of the game being run that night so you are clear on the genre being run. After the conclusion of the session you will be removed from the "campaign". You will not be stuck with me forever. You will only be charged for the game you sign up for. Of course you can always come back for more, but that will be on you to check listings and sign up.

How Vanishing Tower Play creates a safe table
Check game description to find out what I plan to run this coming Friday. Once signed up you will receive a Discord link where pre-made characters will be provided. At game time you will be provided with the link to the on-air studio. A camera and microphone will be required, and yes, the game will be streamed live on Youtube. Dice, you will also need your own dice. There will be no VTT or other fiddly bits. We just sit around the "table" roll dice and have fun.
