About the adventure

Players will try to protect what matters to them, be that family, community, a place, or something else, all while trying to know the unknowable. Protect your community against the ravenous creatures of the Inner Dark, uncover the plots of the sinister Hollow Men, or unearth a beast that’s long been dreaming in the dark.

About me

My name is Emily and I've been playing tabletops for 15 years and a GM for 12 years. I love building off the unexpected moments players bring and enjoy the Rule of Cool. Having fun and telling engaging stories is my goal.

Character creation

Creating your character

A session zero will be held to create characters and build familiarity with basic rules of the system. Characters will start at level 1 and sheets will be stored in Foundry VTT. OGoA Player's Guide is the only book you'll need and I can provide it if needed.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You will need a discord account in order to join the server. We use discord for voice. We will be using Foundry VTT but you do not need to create an account for that or take any steps.

What Emily brings to the table

I will provide the discord server, the foundry VTT, and the rulesbooks as needed. I am a rule of cool GM and embrace anything that creates a more fun and enjoyable table for my players.

Safety

How Emily creates a safe table

Session zero will include a time to anonymously submit a copy of the monte cook rpg checklist. I will compile the entries into a master list that will be reviewed with everyone. All players have the power to pause a session for any reason and to add additional entries to the list.
