About the adventure
Analog Horror? Check. Creepypasta? Check. Corkboard, post-its, and string? Check. Is this the X-Files on Fox? No. It's Public Access. It's a collaborative storytelling experience set circa 2004 in a town by the name of Deep Lake, New Mexico. It's a town of misfits, oddities, and mysteries with one seemingly smack dab in the center. What happened to TV Odyssey in 1992? You've come back to your home town to solve it. Who are you? Nothing but a Latchkey kid with a bit of trauma hidden in your past. What will you uncover? Well that's up to you. Based on the Brindlewood Bay system, each participant plays a roll in the story so be prepared for collaboration!

About me
I'm a long time gamer looking to get out of boring office work, and work in a field I deeply enjoy. Why not this one? I have been gaming for almost 25 years now. I started with D&D and over time my tastes and rulesets expanded to where they are now. I started as a player, but over time I stepped up to relieve our Forever GM. I have GMed campaigns, one shots, and everything in between at this point.

How Zach creates a safe table
We'll all be coming up with lines and veils in session 0. Beyond that, the X card can be messaged to me or displayed, whichever works best for you. Finally, I have an Open Door policy. If everything else fails, there'll be no hard feelings if you have to leave.
