About the adventure
This House Was Full Once is a love letter to the Survival Horror genre., and specifically, the Resident Evil franchise, in all it's campy, B-Horror gory glory. Once upon a time, Abraham Mackenny was a man richer than your wildest imagination, and he used that money to build Mackenny Manor: a sort of "final home" for his family - for the property was so big, and had so many houses, that they could reasonably lived there forever. Of course, time came and went, and in the early 2000's, the last heir of the Mackenny fortune by name, Jake Mackenny, knew that West Virginia was no place for him to stay, so he converted the grounds into a researcher haven for his company, Surface Tension. It is now 2026, and the Manor only has 3 teams using it at a time to keep costs low. These teams rotate out every year, but at the last switch... The research team wasn't there. This is where you come in. You are an agent of ARMS, or the Appalachian Rescue Mission Squad. Your assignment is to retrieve the researchers, or failing that, the data they've collected. You'd be in your best interest to stay vigilant, however... Some of the ghost stories they tell out there aren't just stories.

About me
Hi there! My name is Kaine, and I am a DM of ~4 years experience.I specialize in running with the ideas my brain gives me to create wholly new (or, hopefully, at least,) experiences for my players!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
I will walk you through character creation if you haven't done it before! It's relatively simple, so it shouldn't take too long.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Once you join, shoot me a DM on discord and we can talk more about the campaign to see if you'd be a good fit there!
What Kaine brings to the table
I will provide you with the Players Handbook if you don't already have it! As far as the game goes, I can offer you voices, music, and plenty B-Movie schlock! (And, given that this is based on Resident Evil, lots and lots of crappy one-liners.)

How Kaine creates a safe table
Given that this is a Horror Campaign, instead of Lines and Veils, we will just be using Lines - aka, tell me if there's something you don't wanna see, and you won't!
