About the adventure
New and veteran players get to dive into the mystery of the week. Play as an investigator as you take up the new job posting. these revolve around missing people reports, lost sightings, recent damage to local attractions, or an eeriness as something strange has fallen upon a whole town. Characters sign up for the job to investigate and look for clues to the abnormality, the more you investigate, the better you are to prepare yourself to fight the creature or solve the investigation in time.

About me
I have played for a total of 9 years and professionally DM for 4 years. With a mix of 5e, 4e, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Cthulhu, and Heroes Unlimited, all of them are great, fun games (some having more quirks than others.) My goals for a campaign are not to kill characters off, but push each person's immersion to their highest peak and enjoyment. I am a Storyteller. Painting a story around your chosen characters for a voted theme is my specialty. I use an equal amount of roleplay and creative puzzles, with a bit of combat every session. And I look forward to seeing how each group finishes an Arc, for it is rewarding to see the differences in each groups playthrough.

Creating your character
you may grab a premade sheet, or create your own before session, your choice.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A good mic, sheets grabbed and ready, and reliability to stick for the full one shot. one shots of the game will happen on repeat, so coming back to play again next week with the same exact crew is possible, but also allows the game to be a couple times here and there a pickup game.
What Anstle brings to the table
Anyone who is eager for games like call of cuthulu or world of darkness dealing with cryptids and the dark arts will have a better understanding of the style of game this is. Expect to bring or grab investigators of normal people as you delve into the mystery of the week. Dealing with unknown curses of fighting deadly monsters that lie in the shadows in wait.
