About the adventure
Comrades & Cougars is a bizarre mix of pop culture references and games like Persona and Thaumaturge, all set in the 80's that never was. Players take on the role of female or AFAB parents or guardians of young teens attempting to save them from the machinations of a secret Soviet program attempting to infiltrate America.

About me
I'm a semi-professional person and all around were-adult who likes to run TTRPG to satisfy both my compulsive need to please people and my aversion to real life problems I can't control. I've been running games long enough to know that if your game doesn't at least partially run off of Air Bud "the rulebook doesn't say that a dog CAN'T play basketball"-style logic then you need a new game. On a more productive note I will say this; I enjoy creating a fun space for players to tackle challenges and tell stories, and that means gamers from across the spectrum. Racists, TERFs, and other various bigots will find my table about as welcoming as a kick to the genitals, and I have no problem turning down or returning money to drive that point home. As for game systems, I currently enjoy running/homebrewing D&D 5e, though I have run other systems before (Start Wars Saga Edition, Mutants & Masterminds, the Dragon Age ttrpg, Pathfinder 1e and VTM) and am willing to be flexible. Rules lawyers and power gamers will find themselves in an esoteric clusterfuck of a campaign from which they will not be able to escape unharmed. If you'd like a taste of my DM-ing style, checkout my D&D podcast/dumpster fire Disasters & Dragons (link below).

What Daniel brings to the table
Comrades & Cougars is a narrative first campaign that focuses more on story than math, and as such features heavy homebrewing and rule of cool use. Character voices are common, and ambient music may or may not be present depending on the mood of the session in question.
Homebrew rules
We use a modified version of the D&D 5e inspiration mechanic in this game, and many of the powers that are used have been tweaked for balance.
