About the adventure
This is a dark urban fantasy game reminiscent of Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen, and similar works. You are an Exorcist for a shadowy organization, one of the rare few humans who can perceive psychic abominations known as SINs. Your mission is to hunt and execute SINs with extreme prejudice. Each session we go on a new hunt, exploring the depths of madness, mayhem, and malignancy in humanity's greatest monument to all three. Sin City, USA. Between hunts we explore your characters' relationships to each other, your psychic powers, and your ever tenuous grasp on reality in one of the most surreal places on Earth. This is a story of luck, doom, love, loss, life, death, and force of will. The life of an exorcist is hard, short, and thankless. SIN events grow more frequent every year. But someone has to do the work. If the rare few can hold the line, and get a bit lucky, humanity just might be able to change the game. If you can… WIPE OUT THE STAIN!

View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Use a piece of paper or digital note to draft your character sheet. Answer the following questions: • How did you first manifest your powers? • Is your sin-seed in your brain or in your heart? • What do you hide in the deepest parts of you? • Is your hand your hand? • Do you remember the face of your mother? Then, in order: • Set three skills at 0, five skills at 1, and two skills at 2 • Pick an agenda and one ability from that agenda • Pick a blasphemy and two powers from that blasphemy If you are new or don't have access to the rulebook, there is a character creation guide in our Discord server explaining the features. Lastly, find a piece of art for a character portrait. Once you give this information to the gamemaster, they will import it into the virtual tabletop.
