You and your fellow citizens are hurled into a mall you are all very familiar with. In this mall you are trapped and must navigate multiple levels as well as a creature not bound by form, time or space. Can you survive the horrors of the mall as well as the secrets that keep you tied to the mall in this survival horror TTRPG adventure? Liminal Horror: The Mall is set during the Great Recession. You play normal people with difficult pasts who must explore the mall and survive its scary denizens. The game explores themes of sacrifice, imprisonment, isolation, with a focus through your dungeon crawling. Liminal Horror uses a d20 system with a roll under system. So if you want to get into horror rpgs then this is the perfect start with its simple mechanics and character creation!

About me
Howdy! I'm Blerdy Disposition, a Queer Black Game Master and Youtuber. As a game master, I focus on horror games, old school DnD, and narrative games. Specifically my game sessions focus on heavy roleplay, rule of cool, and player creativity! If you are interested in playing in a game focused on roleplay and player creativity then reach out or sign up for a game. I am also happy to work with players interested in a custom game suited for their schedule When I am not running or playing TTRPGs, I have a Youtube Channel focused on learning more about indie TTRPGs and my tips for players and game masters running games.

Safety
How Blerdy creates a safe table
Before The Game: Session 0 📝 Code of Conduct at my Table I believe as a Queer Black GM, safety at my table is and will always be a #1 priority. RPGs should allow us to safely explore topics we want and have fun with it. So that means this table and my groups are anti-racist, anti-queerphobic, and tolerating bigotry is entirely unacceptable. So any kind of behavior like that will result in immediate ejection from my game without a refund. Lines, Veils, and Boundaries 🪞 I use a set of primer topics to discuss what we do not want to see in the game. A sample of that is attached below https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TVfQ1_UyP7EyTUi6zK3FFvfFvucZRjaDHHFAoBmvhxM/edit During my Game: Breaks🧱 I always make sure to include a 10+ minute break in my game. Of course breaks can be longer or shorter depending on what is best for the group at the time. After the Game: Stars and Wishes ✨ Post game and especially at the end of the campaign, I ask what are people’s stars and wishes. Stars are used for things people really liked during the game. Wishes are things participants would like to see in the future.
