About the adventure
The apocalypse has come and gone, and you have been left to suffer the aftermath. Those who witnessed the end are slowly dying out, leaving mostly myth and legend to define what truly happened to bring about the world you find yourself in. But who cares how it happened? What matters is your next step. There's a small encampment in the ruins of what used to be the United States. Locals call it Havoc. It's one of the only places in the wasteland of the former state of Nevada that still has fresh drinking water thanks to a natural spring in the area. You're lucky enough to live there. Whether you were born and raised or traveled here, you call it home. It's by no means a great life, but it has its perks. But nothing lasts forever. Fate is cruel and demanding. How will you carve out your existence in Apocalypse World?

About me
Hi, I’m Laine! And I absolutely love ttrpgs. They are such a fun collaborative and creative outlet. It all started with a one-off between me and friends and I was hooked. My hope is to provide a fun space for everyone to explore stories and characters outside of the everyday. My favorite systems include Monsterhearts, Monster of the Week, and Thirsty Sword Lesbians! Most Powered by the Apocalypse games are a yes for me!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Players will participate in a "session zero" where they will create their characters. One begins by choosing an available playbook or archetype, choosing their special moves, stats, gear, etc. as well as fleshing out their background.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have a Discord account. Everything including a dice roller will be there for playing the game.
What Laine brings to the table
I provide an immersive, narrative-forward experience that allows players to explore deep character driven stories. I tend to embrace the Rule of Cool, focusing on what will be satisfying for the players and provide the most fun. I will always be the PCs number one fan and work to bring their story to life.

How Laine creates a safe table
I provide a Lines and Veils survey that each player will fill out to establish boundaries during play. These will be gone over in our session zero. At any point during play if something comes up the player is uncomfortable with, they may type X in the chat and the scene/content will be amended.
