About the adventure
The Field Museum-- a world renowned repository of Earth history, home to a vast collection of artifacts both natural and cultural. A destination for numerous enthusiastic visitors to see such famous exhibits as the Man-Eaters of Tsavo, a reconstruction of the jaw dropping 37m Patagotitan, a stunningly lifelike taxidermy of 2 fighting elephants, and of course SUE the Tyrannosaurus rex. But for a group of museum employees staying late one night, they find there is more here than fossils; more than memories. (This original scenario takes place in the modern day)

About me
I'm passionate about horror and storytelling and the opportunity to explore it collaboratively through ttrpgs-- ESPECIALLY Call of Cthulhu. It's a fun creative outlet ( I run primarily original scenarios I myself write) and I love seeing the way players interact with and influence the narratives I conceive.

Creating your character
Pre-gen characters will be available to choose from with only the age and occupation set. Players will have the opportunity to choose their own names, pronouns, personalities, and histories, including the exact nature of the relationships between them and their fellow player characters
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Mics will be required, headphones VERY strongly encouraged, and webcams optional (though gently encouraged as a way to check in more quickly). I expect players to have their own dice or be able to manage their own online dice roller. An invite to the game Discord server will be sent out the day of the game.

How Mina FANE creates a safe table
Fundamental expectations will be set at the beginning of the session. I will share my own lines I do not cross (spoiler: it's overt bigotry, sexual violence, and state violence) and players can either share their own vocally, non vocally through direct message, or even ahead of time through messaging here on start playing. I always plan to have at least one mid game break, though players are welcome to request one as necessary. I want all my players to feel empowered to state if the content has veered into an uncomfortable territory. I want your characters to be pushed past their limits, not you as a player. You can type X or hold a card if you don't want to vocally interject. I always make time after game to talk and reflect. Even if only fun was had, it is always still important to take the time to transition out of game.
