About the adventure
London, 1888. After a long day of celebrating the joining of two souls at the altar, you feel like nothing in the world could ever go wrong. The food is good, the wine is plentiful, and you're absorbed in pleasant conversation with other guests. Until the bride decides to end the night on a frightful note. She asks one of the guests, a powerful spirit medium, to summon the spirit of her deceased father to bless her newborn marriage. What was supposed to be a fun time, a joke among inebriated friends, quickly takes a turn for the macabre as the streets outside the groom's family home grow swollen with heavy, milky mist. And in that mist? Lie horrors beyond belief. How much will you be willing to sacrifice in order to go home? And is there even a home to go back to anymore? Blood wets the cobblestones, flesh twists and ruptures, and suddenly Jack the Ripper is not the worst thing that may jump you in the night. Gaslit Eyes is a Cthulhu by Gaslight chronicle that uses the Call of Cthulhu 7e system. Create your own investigator! Find your way through a horrifically mutated London! Survive the unfathomable! If this one shot is a success, I will be more than happy to turn it into a long form campaign!

About me
Hi all! My name is Rita, an Italian GM in Ireland! I have been playing TTRPGs for 10 years, and started professionally GMing 2 years ago. I have various live groups here in Ireland, plus online groups using Roll20 Discord. I have joined, as a player, the D8Dungeon Drive: Get Hexed in 2025, playing Candela Obscura. I GM for Patreon creators, conventions such as AthVentureCon, Gaelcon and smaller events, plus I GM for friends and paying players every Saturday in person and online! I love the unique creative wave that comes with GMing! Collaborating with players to create the best story, the greatest experience possible for them, brings me an immense sense of joy and accomplishment. I focus mostly on RP, follow the Rule of Cool, and I am not super strict when it comes to consequences (I will never get rid of your character without a prior conversation). I will always talk with you about boundaries, make sure that we agree on the story YOU want to tell, and we will create something together that you will enjoy! Session zero is mandatory, plus a form to complete pointing out triggers (Lines and Veils) My games are all LGBTQ+ friendly, and I have a zero tolerance policy for bullying, abuse and disrespect, both towards the players and the GM. My mother tongue is Italian, so if I ever mix up pronouns, please tell me! It's not malice, just my language playing tricks on me! If you'd like to start your adventure with me, let me know! -Rita

How La Narratrice creates a safe table
A pre-game meeting is mandatory, plus a form to complete pointing out triggers (Lines and Veils). If you want to romance an NPC, PLEASE DISCUSS IT WITH ME FIRST. Nothing happens without prior consent. THIS APPLIES ALSO TO PVP TOO My games are all LGBTQ+ friendly, and I have a zero tolerance policy for bullying, abuse and disrespect, both towards the players and the GM. There is no institutional racism, homophobia, transphobia or sexism in my campaigns. Some NPCs in the setting may however hold harmful views, and we may explore that if the table wishes it and consents to it. However, I would ask that your PCs do not exhibit these views. If you want to stop the session, even to just take a minute, let me know immediately and feel free to stop the game actively, there's no shame in it and I'm always on your side. You are not bothering anyone! And if you need something changed at any point, feel free to message me!
