About the adventure
During the arrest of a vampire in the sewers of London, a Victorian era wax music cylinder was discovered belonging to a composer who was the caretaker of an ancient library filled with arcane knowledge. When he died there was no will announcing an heir and so it was sealed until such time as one appeared, whispers told that he did leave a will hidden inside his work and that the fae of London were to receive ownership but when a human-fae hybrid called Bradly Wickermire stepped forward with dubious paperwork the law firm Beetleshaker and Sons accepted. Now the reading is set for a few days time and work has to be done to discover if the rumours are true, what awaits those that venture into the underbelly of the city as the fate of the last great repository of fae history and magic. Captain Betty Brooktree has called each of you into her office to discuss the details of your deployment during the court hearings to keep the peace as the sudden announcement of the intention to make the library private property with an entrance fee has stirred up the population.

About me
Yes I run the Red Dwarf roleplaying game. Experienced DM who has too much writing and not enough players as I tend to create a lot of lore which can be adapted for any player to fit ideas they may have. I can run a wide range of games and campaigns and discuss with players about what they would like to do and try to match both my style and what they enjoy. I am an Anti AI GM as the devastation to the industry by job replacement and the ethical problems with it are concerns
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Players will make their character using standard creation methods (either before or during the session 0) or use the pre-generated characters available. Players will not use any AI "art" for character tokens but if they struggle with finding a suitable token one can be provided from a large collection that I have.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have a decent enough microphone, be in a position to start the campaign instead of joining then saying immediately they are unavailable, be enthusiastic to play and be a team player.
What Mrhatman brings to the table
I bring over a decade of writing modern fantasy works including mystery and unconventional twists.

How Mrhatman creates a safe table
A session 0 will ensure players get to know each other and to go over the details of the campaign and an open door policy is in effect however I do appreciate a warning in advance.
