About the adventure
**No experience necessary** The Between is a tabletop roleplaying game about a group of mysterious monster hunters in Victorian-era London. They are residents of a place called Hargrave House, and their job is to investigate and neutralize monstrous threats terrorizing the city—threats that Scotland Yard won’t or can’t handle themselves. As the story progresses, they become aware of the plans of one Theodora Braithwaite, a criminal mastermind they will eventually have to face in order to save Queen and country. Every monster hunter harbors their own dark secrets, which are revealed over the course of the game. It is a different experience than more typical games where backstories are shared at the outset of the game. Join for this adventure if you want to: - Revel in the darkness your character seeks - Love a mystery requiring creativity to solve - Want to play something that begs the question "who will you become?" Campaign length: 10-14 sessions Players will be able to choose from one of the following: - The American - The Explorer - The Legacy - The Mother - The Undeniable - The Underground - The Selkie - The Factotum - The Dodger - The Martian - The Vessel - The Facsimile The Between is a Carved from Brindlewood game, using 2d6 dice.

About me
With over 15+ years of TTRGP experience, I am someone who is enthusiastic about running games for folks! I am currently the co-host and founder of The QueerXP actual play podcast, where we have run close to 100 indie TTRPGs over the course of the show. I love telling stories with people and having a chance to explore complicated themes and make difficult choices through the game. I have run everything from one-shot adventures to multi-year campaigns with friends. I believe coming to the table should be a safe and fun experience for all players, which informs my GM style.

Creating your character
Character creation will happen during session zero. Players will be able to choose from any of The Between playbooks.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will simply need to join a discord server, which will be linked once a player books the game. We will schedule a session zero prior to the campaign starting and use that space to prepare for the campaign. This game is rules lite and easy to jump into!
What FalconWizard brings to the table
Players joining this campaign can expect to dive in the horror of this system, answering questions about who their characters will become as they dive deeper into their mysteries. As a GM, I aim to create a world that feels engaging, full of memorable NPCs, and compelling stories that make everyone want to come back next week to find out what happens. With this system, I tend to be rules as written, mostly because the rules as written are pretty open to allow players to do a wide range of things during game play. At the end of the day, I want players to have a memorable experience and have fun.

Safety
How FalconWizard creates a safe table
Prior to session zero, I will ask folks to fill out a brief lines & veils document, which will be asking "what are your hard stops" and "what are things that are okay, but not too much / things that we should fade to black?" During the session, we will use the X card as our main safety tool. This means if something is uncomfortable or triggering, we will pause, reset, and redirect the scene. After sessions are over, we will take time to check-in see how players are feeling and what they hope to see in future sessions. Additionally, breaks are built in for players, as needed.
