About me
I'm a geeky gamer mom who loves a good story. I run wholesome, accessible, PG-13 games from a variety of systems. I prefer fantasy and horror settings and love to run a good mystery or heist. Players under 18 are permitted at my tables if an adult family member is also playing and the rest of the table agrees. Please talk to me ahead of time about this. I am committed to making my games accessible! Please let me know what your needs are and I will do my very best to accommodate them.

Creating your character
You will create a character who has some connection to the uncanny. Whether you learned about it recently, unexpectedly and traumatically, spent your whole life wallowing in it or something in between, I will want to know. You can get started on a paper sheet using the step by step guide provided and we'll transfer it into the VTT. It is probably a good idea to keep a paper copy for quick notes and looking over between sessions. We'll work out relationships and flesh out the final details during session 0.
