The Year is 1982, You are part of a documentary crew that travels around the US trying to get proof of cryptids and other anomalies. Believing will only get you so far... can you get evidence? An edge of your seat, skin crawling "Monster of the Week" game, featuring different cryptids (skinwalker, mothman, jersey devil, bigfoot etc). Can you make it back with your sanity AND the footage? This game will be mostly a theater of the mind game, with lots of mysteries, puzzles, intrigue, and some combat.

Hello! My name is Ben and I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons (among other ttrpgs) since 2008. I have DM'd hundreds of games for my friends over the last 17 years, home brewing many different settings (and sometimes mashing them together)

How Ben (Story Forge) creates a safe table
This is meant to be a FUN game, but also a SCARY and HORRIFIC game. I will be doing my best to make you feel tense and on edge. That being said, we will take breaks as needed, and if there is a topic we need to stay away from please disclose it in session zero so that the other players and I can abide. After each session there will be 10-15 minutes of debriefing where things can be unpacked and the players can talk about everything that happened. During this time I also like to do Stars and Wishes/Roses and Thorns where the players can talk about things that they liked or didn't like.
