About the adventure

Something is wrong here. Very wrong. One part Stephen King, one part Lovecraft, and one part Illuminatus! Trilogy, WELCOME TO SCENIC DUNNSMOUTH is a Monster of the Week campaign delving into a New England town with a strange history of witch trials, bizarre cults, eldritch horrors, and temporal dislocations. Each week, we'll explore the strange history and citizens of Dunnsmouth, and slowly uncover the horrific truth that hides just below the surface of this quaint coastal town. What exactly is going on? You'll have to play to find out! This game is open to everyone - no experience with TTRPGs necessary. If you want to have fun playing modern-day monster hunters investigating supernatural mysteries (Think Supernatural, Buffy/Angel, X-Files, etc.) or you just have a love for the absurd, this is the game for you!
