About the adventure

Play as a rag tag group of cowboys looking to make a quick buck, no matter the danger. The Bandit Queen has sent you on a mission to find some treasure deep within a cursed canyon, with the promise of more work to come if you succeed. This game is built for players of all experience levels, especially those who want an approachable entry point to TSL. Expect a mix of humor, danger, memorable NPCs, and a little bit of chaos.

About me

Hi, my online buddies call me Eli! I'd like to be your GM. I go by they/he pronouns. I'm happy you're here and interested in the stories that I have to tell. I’ve been GMing since 2018, specializing in D&D 5e 2014, PbtA, and WoD games on Roll20 and in person. I’ve played and/or run D&D 5e, Werewolf the Apocalypse, Hunter the Reckoning, Vampire the Masquerade, Thirsty Sword Lesbians, Monsterhearts, Monster of the Week, Demigods, Legend in the Mists, and Upriver Downriver. I run all of my games with as close to a home game vibe as possible, focusing on safety and group cohesion. Rule of Cool is the name of the game at my tables, but Rules as Written is not discarded. Both will be taken into account for quality of life purposes. Most of my games run for 2-3 hours, which is what my day job allows for. They're paced appropriately but please slow me down if you need me to slow down. All of my session 0's are free. That's where you decide if the game and the group are for you, so don't hold back on any questions or concerns. I also design games! I wrote a TTRPG called Final Girl and I’ve released a few modules for it as well. I've also published a one page TTRPG called Cat Scratch, Cat Nap. I hope to eventually publish a Locked Tomb TTRPG as well. I want so badly to run some Final Girl games here for other horror movie fans! Expect an inclusive, safety-forward table where we’re here to have fun in whatever form that takes. LGBTQ+ and allies welcome. If none of the games available appeal to you, please reach out! I'd love to craft a personal experience for you and your friends.

Character creation

Creating your character

We will have a session 0 that will cover character creation. Characters will be created on Roll 20. You can come to the table with a character concept, pick a pregenerated character, or if you like I will help you create a character that will be fun to play the day of session 0.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

• A relatively modern computer capable of running web-based programs (Chrome or Firefox - no Safari, no using phones to run Roll20) • Decent internet access • Good Audio input • Discord (free, app or web based) • Roll20 account (free, web based)

What Eli brings to the table

I provide a homebrew world that feels lived in. I will provide battle maps, a map of the continent, and clear expectations for travel. I provide fun and engaging NPCs that feel well rounded and nuanced. I also provide a welcoming environment with a focus on fun.

Homebrew rules

I will be utilizing Progress Clocks to track progress, danger, time, and events. You may know some progress clocks while being unaware of others.

Safety

How Eli creates a safe table

During session 0, we'll go over lines and veils and input those into the "stoplight" system. We'll also debrief after each session.
