About the adventure
After weeks of riots, the royalists have retreated and nobody is willing to defend the the Royal Palace of Ambaret from the common people's anger. Your anger in particular has led to you being the first to breach the gates, hoping to reclaim some of monarchy's horded wealth for yourself. You are not prepared for the horrors and temptations you will find in the palace. Trophy Dark is a storytelling game about normal people venturing into dark forests, ancient ruins, and cursed place in search of wealth. You are playing normal people looking to solve their problems on a dangerous long-shot. Most who enter these places are never seen again. The few that survive return with broken minds and bodies. The dead and the broken will serve as the forest's trophies. This is a horror game. Death and worse are the most likely outcomes for your character. Consult the content warning below. Embrace the tragedy, take risks, and know that your luck will run out. Make your character's time memorable. Warnings: Body horror, classism, graphic violence, manipulation, mannequins

About me
My name is Ben and I've been GMing TTRPGs for over a decade now. I'm a regular cast member of Technical Difficulties Gaming Podcast (https://www.technicaldifficultiespod.com/). My preferred systems are Powered by the Apocalypse (Blades in the Dark, Monster of the Week, FIST), d100 horror (Mothership, Call of Cthulhu, Unknown Armies), and GUMSHOE (Fear Itself, Night's Black Agents, Trail of Cthulhu). I also love trying small story games that I find on itch.io. I'm LGBTQA+ friendly and I don't accept any Nazi shit at my table.

Creating your character
Character creation is pretty quick, so we'll make them just before play.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Play will be over Discord. Think of an interesting character who's looking to risk everything on this insane gamble. Who are they? What do they hope to achieve with this crazy adventure? Understand that they're likely going to die in this place.
What Ben from TechDiff brings to the table
The rules are pretty straightforward, which I'll go over just before. There will also be story questions that I will ask the characters as we play, so be prepared to think of an answer.
