About the adventure
St. Mercy General is understaffed, overcrowded, and exhausted. Tonight was supposed to be routine: too many patients, not enough beds, and another endless graveyard shift under fluorescent lights. Then the impossible cases begin arriving. A patient whose scans show organs that shouldn’t exist. A woman declared dead who keeps speaking. Hallways that don’t lead where they should. Missing time. Strange noises from sealed wards. Medical charts changing on their own. And through it all, the staff still has a job to do. four-shot, players take the roles of doctors, nurses, paramedics, and hospital staff struggling to keep patients alive while uncovering what is happening inside St. Mercy General. No prior experience with GURPS games is required. Rules will be taught during play. Expect a tense, atmospheric experience focused more on emotional pressure and unsettling mystery than combat.

About me
I have been active as a game master for over a decade, and I've played a variety of systems. My favorites include GURPS, Shadowrun, FATE, and Genesys. I've also set campaigns in a variety of genres, including cyberpunk fantasy, medieval fantasy, urban fantasy, and space opera. In my spare time, when I'm not gming or playing tabletop rpgs, I enjoy playing the sims, writing, reading, coding, and various arts and crafts. I've written a novel, an urban fantasy piece called Lien on my Soul. Let me know if you want to game with me!
