About the adventure
This game is for anyone who likes mysteries, cozy settings, deep role-playing, and existential horror. The mechanics are based on the Powered-by-the-Apocolype system that encourages role-play and emergent storytelling. Early sessions will focus on cozy mysteries, and then will begin turning toward a Cthulhu-like horror adventure. Through it all we will use humor to soften the blows of the Dark Conspiracy.

About me
I have been playing and running TTRPGs for over 40 years and in that time I have played D&D, but I have also tried as many different games as I could get my hands on. I love teaching new players as well as teaching new games to seasoned players.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation will be done during our initial session (Session Zero). The process is fairly simple; primarily just answer a few questions and choose a couple options. The whole process will take less than an hour.
Session Zero will be May 17 and will run every Sunday for 6 to 8 weeks. Duration of the campaign will depend on player actions. This is a game for role-players and those who enjoy a mystery and/or horror. While the player characters are all female, players can be any gender.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Requirements: Discord for voice & text, a decent mic and headset, 2 six-sided dice are optional, dice-rolling app included in the Discord channel.
What Jeff Walklin brings to the table
I love running this game! Each adventure contains a large cast of Suspects (NPCs) and I encourage the players to dig into the story by talking to them and go wherever the scene takes them. We let the story build from the actions of the player-characters. This will be a role-play heavy game with minimal combat.
