About the adventure

🏳️‍🌈LGBTQ+/Neurodiverse Safe Space! 🧠 In this mini- campaign you play an agent of Section 6, a shadowy and powerful government agency of stability and conformity. You're sent out on missions to eliminate threats to reality itself amongst the hip, groovy, far-out citizens of the Swinging 60s city of Doskvol. You can do whatever you need to accomplish your missions, including lie, cheat, steal, murder, wield psychic powers, and even wipe memories. You're a scoundrel, but you're the government's scoundrel. But today, something goes awry when you and your crew find that the anomaly is a person, who says they're from a different time, who says they know you. Now you have to find out: ❓Are you being deceived? By who? ❓Can you trust this person who is threatening the present for a mission from the future? ❓Would you jump through time to find out? You'd better find the answers quick, because whether they're lying or not, this person's existence IS warping the reality of the present. And your bosses expect you to "neutralize" them and report back by end of day... If you love the video game Control, The SCP Foundation, Men in Black, or any story of highly skilled agents stopping paranormal threats, this is the game for you! This campaign is meant for players of all experience levels. Even if you're just trying out this system, pull up a seat and let's be scoundrels!

About me

Hello! I'm Jacob, AKA The Infinite Storyteller, or Teller for short. Let me blend game systems, emotional investment, colorful NPCs, exotic locales, and sheer chaos to create the next story you'll tell people about for years. I love to tell stories across settings and systems. I gravitate to tales of the surreal and the cerebral, but I love to tell any sort of story, and the crazier the idea the better. If you love making a character you care about and sending them through an adventure that veers into the unexpected with a GM who cares deeply about player choice and player safety, we’ll have a great time. No matter what sort of game we play I will bring: 📚Well researched and prepped games. I channel my curiosity (also read hyperfixation) into research projects and make them into games. 🎭Big, colorful NPCs. I challenge myself to so fully commit to the bit that my players feel free to be silly and immerse themselves in the story. A range of character voices, good and bad, is a constant at my table. 🧙Immersive Stories. I use music, maps, art, and VTTs to help paint the picture for players and give them more to respond to. 🎉An aggressive “Yes, and” attitude. I’m here to figure out how we can tell the story you want to tell, not keep you from it. 👐Dedication to Safety. I have a “do no harm” policy for tabletop games. Your safety and comfort will always be paramount at my table. So step into a realm of infinite stories, and let's laugh together, cry together, and adventure together!

Character creation

Creating your character

Character creation will happen at the beginning of our first session by choosing or modifying one of the pre-generated characters I will provide for this game. If you want to make your own character, character creation in Blades is easy! I’m happy to assist with building your character in Roll20, our Virtual TableTop for the game.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

This is a no-prep mini-campaign! I will teach the game through the course of this campaign and provide pre-made character sheets for you to customize and expand on as we play. Players are welcome to study the system, customize their character, and prepare before the campaign as much as they want, and I will provide resources to allow that, but it is not required. Players will need a working Discord account and a roll20 profile, since we will use those to run the game.

What Infinite Storyteller (Teller) brings to the table

As we tell this tale of the paranormal forces and shady government agencies, I will provide: 🕶️The surreal, the strange, the weird, and the wonderful woven through the game and pulling the story in all sorts of unexpected directions! 🕶️Music, maps, and more to make the world feel alive. 🕶️Scheming, dangerous factions to oppose you. 🕶️An open world sandbox style that follows the story you choose to tell. 🕶️Vibrant descriptions, distinct NPCs with characterization and voices 🕶️A story whose beginning I know, but whose end we will find out together based on what YOU choose.

Safety

How Infinite Storyteller (Teller) creates a safe table

Player safety is my top priority. Prior to Session Zero all players will receive the Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist, and are highly encouraged to return the completed checklist to me to review. We will discuss any concerns players have prior to our game. During gameplay players can introduce a line or veil either verbally or via DM in real time. This functions as an immediate safety tool if something becomes unexpectedly uncomfortable.
