About the adventure
Glass Beach Summer is a modern occult horror miniseries for Fear Itself 2e. The player characters are young adults trapped in a seaside town during a strange summer storm. After surviving the storm, they develop psychic powers — and begin to see the monsters hiding in plain sight. The town is quiet, rundown, and full of secrets. Some locals are just eccentric. Others are hiding something far worse. As the characters investigate, they uncover a cult, a history of storms that change people, and the truth about their powers. This campaign blends nostalgic summer vibes with creeping dread, body horror, and emotional tension. It’s perfect for players who enjoy slow-burn horror, character-driven mystery, and the fear of becoming what you hunt.

About me
I like to learn new RPGs and systems so picking up a new game type is easy and enjoyable. I prefer open world type DMing based on the players backstories and play preferences. I never liked railroaded scenarios or DMs that ignored the actual players. That is why I got into DMing. I like to create open worlds when I can and do use or start from premade scenerios sometimes but like to create the world.

Creating your character
Create according to questionare. I also have pregens. Public: 1. Why are you in town this summer? Why can't you leave? 2. You recently pissed off someone in town (not Krief or Officer Smalls). Who was it? What happened? Was it your fault? 3. You've got a big secret you've told nobody. What is it? 4. One evening on Glass Beach, you heard a strange noise. What did it sound like? 5. Add one location to the town map. Name someone associated with it. 6. You saw something weird in town a few days ago. What was it? 7. There's a rock out in the bay near Glass Beach. Did you try to swim to it? Did you make it? 8. What do grown-ups think when they see how you dress? 9. What do you have in your pockets? 10. How much trouble have you been in before? Grounded? Arrested? 11. What are you going to do when summer ends? Private gm only: 12. Which of the others do you think you'll stay in touch with when you leave? 13. Which of the other characters needs your help? You also have a psychic power pool you get during the campaign.
