About the adventure
There is an open spot to join Watchers in the Dark, an ongoing Monster of the Week play-by-post campaign on the Antics & Rolls server. This game uses the Powered by the Apocalypse system and leans hard into narrative-forward, collaborative storytelling. Think Supernatural and The X-Files. You’ll be joining an active team of hunters working under W.A.T.C.H. (Weather Analysis, Tracking, and Climate Hub), a secret UN-backed organization protecting Earth from the strange and supernatural. So far, the team has faced: - A Rougarou terrorizing Omega Park in Montebello, Quebec. - A Ghost in the Machine / Fomorians trying to cross over from his world and taking over technology in a small town. - A Soul-Eater in Camden, Maine that is haunting an old hotel. - Episode 4 is centered around the King in Yellow and is ongoing. What to expect: - Slow-burn horror, character-driven storytelling, and collaborative scene building. - Flexible posting pace (a few times a week). - Dark tone: ghosts, death, weirdness, and high stakes, with moments of humor and heart. Looking for: A creative, reliable player who enjoys writing in-character and engaging with others’ posts. Any playbook is welcome, though unique or unusual choices are encouraged.

About me
Hey there, everyone! I'm Gabriel, or just Gabe for short (he/him). I’ve been a DM for the past decade, guiding friends through realms of fantasy and adventure with just pen, paper, and our collective imaginations. Now, I’m taking a leap into the digital realm as a DM, and I couldn't be more excited about the possibilities this opens up. Joining one of my game is also joining a vibrant and growing community named Antics & Rolls where everyone can feel welcomed, and have fun together! Broadcasting from Quebec, my English comes with a little French-Canadian flair that I hope you’ll find as charming as I do. With technology by my side, I’m all about creating the most immersive gaming experiences possible. Whether I’m pulling maps from the coolest sources or designing them myself with Dungeon Alchemist, my goal is to bring our adventures to life like never before. And here's where it gets even better—I do all this on Antics & Rolls, my YouTube and Twitch channel. It’s where we can all come together to craft and live out those stories of magic and mayhem. I’m all about making our game sessions feel like a collaborative journey, where everyone’s character gets to shine and grow. So if you're into epic stories, good vibes, and a bit of that Quebec charm, come join me at Antics & Rolls. Let's make our gaming sessions as cozy and welcoming as a tavern where adventurers gather to share their tales.
