So plunder your favorite game for a couple dice and come join us! These adventures are designed to give you a taste of 1) Monster of the Week to see if you like the system 2) Me as a GM or MC to see if you want to play more games with me 3) Give you an enjoyable time playing a role playing game with other fun people!

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
Players can create paper or virtual characters and I will have the tools for both. We will do an expediated version of session 0 before getting into the action. If you already have a Monster of the Week character, those are accepted as well. I am generally open to homebrew and other source stuff but I like to see if first.
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've written a bunch of mysteries for Monster of the Week and played them with various groups. You will have a vote on which mystery we play. There will be a mix of scariness, surprises, and laughter. 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.

Safety
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 safety 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. I very highly doubt we will have any issues, but if we do, players are free to step away and I will do everything I can to make sure that player feels heard and hopefully we can resume action quickly.
