Myth of The Motel (A learn to play One shot for City of Mist)
Have you heard? There's a motel that moves around on the outskirts of the city. I've heard that once you've checked into it, you will never check out.

About the adventure
Note This is a learn to play One Shot where it helps new players get into a more narrative heavy system that are lighter on the rules side of things. Of course, experience players are welcome as well! Premise In the city of Archester, there has always been strange things hiding behind the mist of every corner in the city. However this time, the horror hides just by the outskirts of the city... an unsuspecting rundown motel that looks just like any of the other buildings in the outskirts that are unfortunately not important enough to be maintain by the City's governor or other major private developers. Legend has it that some of the guests that checked into the motel were never seen again... or stories of a cult living inside of the motel have also been heard... And the strangest thing is that just like any other rumour, this very motel seems to have been popping up at different corners of the city... Would you be daring enough to find out the truth of this urban legend?

About me
Hi there! I'm a gm that mainly runs the mist engine, absolutely love that system and I am more experienced with running City of Mist but I would want to eventually run Legend in the mist and otherscape as well! My favourite genre is definitely urban fantasy and horror with camp, I love getting into roleplaying the NPC and giving players an immersive experience with character dialogue and even for fights, I love to explore the characters actions and morality as well and that's why I love the mist engine so much is because the system incorporated character development into its system via the theme books. I also love meeting new people and players and that's why I want to try running games as well!

Creating your character
So pre-generated characters will be used from my own characters that I've made or the Pregens from City of Mist. Should players choose to create their own, please let me know in advance so I can go through with you before the session starts.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will be using Discord for voice chat and Foundry VTT. You will be required to have a discord account and I will add you to a server for it and the Foundry link will be given out where you can play it through the browser.
What Bamboozled Tree brings to the table
Rule of Cool applies, this is a cooperative narrative game where GM works together with the players to build out cool ass scenes and tell a cool ass story. It will mainly be theathre of the mind though maps will be shown on foundry along with ambient music for the immersion and I will try my best attempt at character voices lol

How Bamboozled Tree creates a safe table
We will go through lines and veils together the moment someone applies for the game and it will be brought up again before the session start. Fade to black sequences will be used to skip through scenes that are uncomfortable for certain players and X,N and Os can be said directly in the voice chat and that will be used as our cue.
