About the adventure
The world is a dangerous place. Unfortunately terrors hidden in the dark make it more dangerous than it has to be. Set out with fellow Investigators to find out the truth to these matters. Travel the country, maybe even the world, to expose these terrors and put an end to them. Find out the truth about that old town full of secrets, expose the skeletons hidden in closets and face off with the monster under your bed. Welcome to the Arkham Esoteric Investigative Society. Founded by Clark Elliot Washburne, the members of the Society are from all over Arkham. Woesn't matter whether they are an average 9 to 5 joe or a member of high society. As long as they are interested in investigating the truth behind reports on supernatural sightings. It also helps that it pays quite decently... Set out in the city of Arkham, chase rumours and gossip, find out whether that soothsayer is a charlatan or perhaps part of something more evil. But chasing rumours might not be the only thing you do for the Society. People who need help with certain matters, might just reach out to the Society for help. Need to prove your house is haunted? Do you suspect the employees of a sanitarium to be in a cult? Does something haunt your window in the night time? The Society is there to investigate and who knows, maybe they will even solve your problem! Travel outside of the U.S.A., to locations like the United Kingdom, the Netherlands or even Australia and discover the truth of the Cosmos. Just ask yourself... Is the truth worth the cost?

About me
Hi guys! I'm Mylack, ever since I was young, I've been obsessed with storytelling. Making them, telling them, I love it! I am finally active in the TTRPG community and have become a GM, especially for Call of Cthulhu! As a massive Star Wars fan and fantasy enthousiast, my interest also expand towards Star Wars 5e and Star Wars by Fantasy Flight! Always open to new players, as there's nothing more fun than watching someone learn and grow in a new game system!

Creating your character
Characters will be made in either the session 0 or a private session, whatever is more preferable to you. If you want to make a character on your own, use the point buy method and make a 1920's Investigator. Use Dholeshouse.org for easier integration into the VTT!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
make sure to join the Discord Server in the Session Details and make an account on Dholeshouse.org to make your characters! A backstory is also going to be quite useful! Why does your character investigate the unnatural? What have they experiened? Do they have ties to certain characters?

How Mylack creates a safe table
Session 0 We will have a session 0 to talk through the themes that will occur during the game and to get familiar with the setting/system X, N, & O's Send me a DM with an X, N or O if you start to feel uncomfortable! By sending it to me in a DM I will be able to notice it much quicker so I can resolve it a lot sooner and it will be private if that is preferable. Open Door Feel free to take a break whenever you need! Breaks We will take a break in the middle of the session, feel free to reach out to me in this break if you want!
