About the adventure

In Call of Cthulhu, you take on the role of everyday people who become investigators of the unknown - whether they are prepared or not. The mysterious places, people, and situations you encounter are often not what they seem - you and your friends are the only thing standing in the way of diabolical cults and cosmic monsters from beyond space. ***I will NOT be using Discord as my platform.

Gameplay details

There are certain rules I ask my players to follow while playing, to make this a fun table for everyone to play at. COMMUNICATION TRUST AND CARE: "Respect each others characters and players." This is a game and everyone is joining to have fun, let's show each other some courtesy and respect character choices and such. Don't attack or steal from another player, In my experience It's not a great experience for anyone at the table for in party fighting. LINES AND VEILS "Please refrain from overly sexual themes" We get it, your character is charismatic and he would flirt with everyone, which is all fine and dandy towards NPCS, but not everyone is comfortable with those sort of advances, and PC to PC romance is something that should be discussed with each other before the game. Obviously NPC romance is fine, but i will generally do a "fade to black" rather than describing stuff like that. LUXTON TECHNIQUE: "If you're uncomfortable, come forward." You can always speak up if something in a session is making you uncomfortable, If not in the chat, you can also Private message me if that's easier. My goal is everyone to enjoy themselves and am always working to make my games reflect that. OPEN DOOR: "Breaks" four hours is a long time to be sitting at your computer, At the 2 hour mark i will have everyone break for 15 minutes, to use the restroom, grab a drink, stretch, all that jazz, but never feel like you can't go afk for a moment anytime during the session. Self care comes first, the game will still be here when you get back. Just let us know when you step away please. DEBRIEFING: "Let's talk" Naturally as the session ends, we have a little conversation about the session and how it went, this allows us to talk about what we enjoyed and what we're looking forward to, as well as touching on stuff we did not like. This will always be taken as constructive criticism for me to make my games better so never feel bad about coming forward.
