About the adventure
Dive into a custom, player-focused campaign that will attract fans of “Psychonauts,” "Hellblazer/Constantine," and "The Librarians." As a Denizen of the Darkness. Fight against your old identity while it attempts to maneuver you back into familiar patterns. Will you surrender to the old narrative and let it take control of your new (un)life? Remember, you’re not the only monster out there. • Explore the Chronicles of Darkness Setting and conspire with many other Supernatural Tribes! • Get lost in Modern Day Miami, “The Magic City”, Florida! And visit other realms like the Primordial Dream, the Hedge, and the Shadow… • Hunt for perilous artifacts of supernatural power! But beware of being Hunted by those who pursue that same power and more. • Plus, so much more! Medium to Epic Length Campaign. 20+ Games!

About me
**LGBTQ+ friendly and supportive! My family, friends, and loved ones mean the world to me. No asshats, no exceptions.** Hello, players! My name is Rascal (He/Him), but you can call me Sam. I'm from just outside the Chicago area and have two cats with my partner of 10 years. I am a certified story junkie. I consume content like a voracious world eater, devouring every book, game, show, and obscure film I can find. While I've explored a lot of material, there are still many more things I'd love to experience, and I always welcome suggestions. I'm particularly interested in RPGs (Role-Playing Games) and B-rate movies; they're my jam! I began playing tabletop games in 2007 when I was twelve years old. As a long-time Player, GM (Game Master), and Writer, I have completed over a dozen campaigns ranging from level 1 to level 20. I’ve participated in more than 1,100 tabletop game sessions across various formats, with just under 9,000 hours of experience. I have maintained a successful weekly game—sometimes multiple games per week—since I began playing. **TL;DR:** No Asshats, No Exceptions. You can call me Rascal (He/Him). With 18+ years of experience in playing and running TTRPGs (Tabletop Role-Playing Games). When it comes to story, combat, and production, I’m the go-to guy.

Creating your character
In Session Zer0, we'll cover character creation together. You'll get details on approved books and homebrew rules via Discord after Onboarding. See other homebrew examples below.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a Discord Account. You can play everything on your PC or Smartphone! Sound is the most important; you might want to use a Microphone and Headphones. A camera is not necessary. But, if you do have a camera, you can use it to roll real dice instead of using our dice bot in Discord! Make sure all your devices are charged, and don’t forget to grab a drink and a snack! Beyond that, bring a positive mindset and a healthy sense of humor!

Safety
How rascallywriter1k creates a safe table
Using Session Zer0, we will establish interests, tone, settings, and expectations, including lines and veils. I focus on customizing player experiences by dedicating time to help you develop your character's backstory and seamlessly integrate them into the world. A copy of our lines and veils will always be available on our Discord server. **Content Warnings:** This game is rated R due to extreme violence, strong language, and possible character death. I will share major events without including spoilers; players are welcome to discuss these events with me at any time. If anyone feels they are not a good fit for this game, I am happy to make any adjustments or help them find another game that will be just as fun to play!
