About the adventure
This is a one-shot Call of Cthulhu 1984 variant taking place in the Blackwood Sanitarium, outside of Burlington, Vermont in 1984. You suddenly come out of a lithium induced stupor in the Psych Intensive Care Ward & don't know how you got there. All Grippy Sock characters are pre-generated. Welcome to the Blackwood Sanitarium Intensive Care Ward for violent patients suffering a Psychotic break. Blackwood is abysmal & the air reeks of old floor wax, tater tots, cigarette smoke, trauma, and Aqua net. Lithium is lunch and Marlboro Reds are the currency of the day. Why are you here? Who are the other patients? And why does that large orderly "Tiny" keep smiling at you like you're a ham in a Bugs Bunny cartoon?

About me
"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." I love fun. And roleplaying games. And cheese. And horror! I'm a professional "Learn To Play" DM, artist & writer, that enjoys teaching beginners how to play these games. I love writing and collaborative storytelling in all its forms. I use horror as a tool for creating fun and escaping reality for a few hours. I'm a professional storyteller in all its forms: writing books, ttrpg adventures, short stories, novels, and TV shows. Roll20 and Discord are my favorite replacements for in-person gaming. I live on a small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, so that makes in person gaming difficult these days. So, I invested a ton of time, energy, art, writing, and creative juice to improve my Virtual DM game. I am one of the best Professional DMs you will ever encounter and have over 40 years' experience (I'm older than dirt lol). Most of my players are LGBQT and women, so we respect consent and are kind to all who play. No racism, transphobia, misogyny, or homophobia allowed. I want this to be a fun safe place for everyone. My favorite game systems are Call of Cthulhu 7th ed, D&D 5e (2014), Pathfinder 2nd ed, Cyberpunk Red, and Shadowrun 5th ed. I live in the Azores, Portugal on Sao Miguel Island. It's the Hawaii of Europe and an awesome place to live. I reside here with my family, chickens, dogs and cats.
