About the adventure
Before Harry Houdini passed away, he left very specific instructions on what it would look like if he were to come back from the dead. Every year they hold a seance trying to contact him. This time he answered and has given further instructions on how to contact him again! Now there is a party being thrown on live TV in Appleton, Wisconsin! Of course nothing will go wrong, but.... just in case, you and your monster hunting friends are there to take care of any unforeseen events. These adventures are designed to be an ongoing campaign. Content will be 18 + (Think rated R scary or horror movies)

About me
I work well with experienced players and new players alike. I love pretty much any game that is Powered by the Apocalypse, but Monster of the Week is very close to my heart. These games are scary, weird, and fun and allow us ordinary day folks to do extraordinary things. I reward risk takers, out of the box thinkers and people who are just trying to figure stuff out. My favorite moments are when the players get so into their characters and start planning and advancing the plot. If you are looking for a fun, welcoming game where character choices matter and the story is told by everyone at the table, then I think I am a great Keeper for you! I value respect above all else. I am here to help you bring your character's best self to the table every time you play. I encourage you to be weird, zany and wacky on every adventure. Let's just have a great time! I do Actual Play games online for charities and podcasts. If you want more specifics on where you can find me, please feel free to reach out! I have been role playing for over 20 years and I have played just about every system you can think of.

Creating your character
During session 0 we will develop characters, get to know each other a bit, develop some kind of back story and most likely introduce players to the first mystery. We will go over move selection and clarification of rules if necessary.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Bring a pencil if you want to take notes. Bring a good attitude. You will need a mic. Bring some dice if you want to roll them.
What Henry brings to the table
This game will almost entirely be Theatre of the Mind. I may provide documents or maps, but they will be very simple. You just need to bring a passing familiarity with discord and some kind of audio set up. I will mostly likely be using my camera, but that is up to you if you want to as well. I have been playing and running TTRPGs for over 20 years. I tend to roll with the rule of cool and just want players to have a good time. I will never beat you with my plot or force players to pursue a story line they do not want to take part in. There will be surprises, laughter, goofiness and some scary moments as well. I will consistently seek out your feedback and advice and try to adapt the game to what you want. I prefer live dice rolls, but will provide a dice roller in channel. I will provide all the tools necessary to play Monster of the Week.

How Henry creates a safe table
I will have a group document for lines and veils. We will use a specific code (xx) for instance if someone needs to step away. If this happens, we will bring the action to a close and immediately address the saftey measure whenever the affected party is comfortable. This game will be run almost entirely via theatre of the mind. I will use google documents and files which everyone will have access to.
