About the adventure
Play-By-Post/Asynchronous Play - Want to play TTRPGs but have a crazy schedule or inability to reliably attend a single day a week? Enjoy taking your time to consider your interactions? Love moving at your own pace? Like the thought of a slower pace to taking actions and interacting in roleplaying without worrying about end of session time or taking up too much scene time? Then this style of gaming might be for you! Play-By-Post offers a flexible schedule, rich immersion, and a unique playstyle not available in a traditional scheduled weekly TTRPG game. No previous experience with PbP/Asynchronous gaming is required. I make the process and the rules clear and easily accessible and will help guide you the whole way. The Game - Mage the Awakening 2e set in Detroit. The Story - This is an open world sandbox where you will choose your own path towards seizing your destiny among your own kind and the other creatures of the night in the Motor City. Play a mage or a technocrat or a sorcerer. Pursue your agenda alone or join a cabal, the choice is yours. Your choices define your story in this place of mystery and myth. No previous experience with Mage the Awakening 2e is required. I will ensure you quickly and easily learn the rules and have access to all the materials you need.

About me
🎲 “Hold on, let me roll Persuasion first… success!” Hello, I’m Tyler — a storyteller, designer, and lifelong gamer with decades of experience behind the screen. My players describe me as Immersive, Supportive, and Masterful. I’ve guided hundreds of players through unforgettable games at conventions, on streams and podcasts, and in home campaigns across North and South America. I’ve collaborated with publishers like Onyx Path, Free League, Chaosium, and Helmgast, and I’m also a published writer and designer with credits in both indie and professional TTRPG projects. Whether it’s your first session or your hundredth, my goal is always the same: create a safe, inclusive space where your story matters. I invite you to explore my reviews and join a game to see why so many players return to my tables again and again.

Creating your character
I will work with you directly to build your character. There will be a session 0 before the story begins.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need Discord and only Discord. Internet access of course. Everything needed to have immersive play will be provided through my Discord server.
What Tyler brings to the table
I have apps in Discord for you to play immersive music as much or as little as you wish, dice rolling and character creation/tracking tools, and the ability to speak as your character with a unique avatar separate from your regular Discord setup. I will have all digital assets needed to create characters, as well as learn and play the game.

How Tyler creates a safe table
When playing horror, safety and consent are everything. I have a thorough lines and veils form to fill out prior to beginning play. There will be Discord tools to flag a scene and interactions with other players and your Storyteller as necessary. There are channels in Discord for aftercare, decompression and other safety tools as needed, and you will have direct one on one access to me as well. There is a session 0 channel where at game start the group will meet and if you join later you and I will meet prior to you entering the story. You will see a comprehensive content warning list here. These things are not all guaranteed to take place, but they might and so are listed.
