About the adventure
Nightfall, Missouri. Population, small. Secrets, deep. Every town has a heart; Nightfall's just happens to beat a little...strangely. In this rolling stretch of the Ozarks, weird occurrences aren't just common—they're in the town's blood. But when a student vanishes on the eve of the Harvest Festival, the usual eerie quiet shatters. Playing as high school students caught in the crosshairs of the unknown, you'll race against time to piece together a trail of unsettling clues. Inspired by teen episodic thrillers, this adventure pits teenage resolve against the ancient, dark secrets buried right under the town's surface.

Creating your character
Players will receive the appropriate materials from the new Cypher Character Rulebook. Create a Real World high school sophomore at level 1. Lean into the high school tropes seen in many teen dramas. I can assist if needed and there is enough time for me to help before the session.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a Discord account and a Roll20 account.
What DM Jai brings to the table
I am a professional actor, so expect great role-play and engaging characters. Voices and dialects will be used as much as I can. I focus on collaborative storytelling and will lean rulings more towards what tells the best story (Rule of Cool). Discord server with a great community of players for voice chat during play. Sessions will be run visually on Roll20.
