My Own Summer: Public Access

About the adventure

Public Access is a tabletop roleplaying game about a group of people in 2004—the Deep Lake Latchkeys—who find themselves investigating strange mysteries in and around the town of Deep Lake, New Mexico. In the ‘80s and early ‘90s, Deep Lake was the home of a notorious public access television station called TV Odyssey, the history and fate of which—the station literally disappeared—is the source of much speculation in certain corners of the internet. As the Latchkeys conduct their investigations in Deep Lake, they will become increasingly aware of the central role TV Odyssey plays in everything that’s going on, and will have to face whatever terrible truth lies at the heart of the infamous station...

How to prepare

Mics are necessary as this isn't Play-By-Post. Webcams are welcome but not necessary. You will need a Discord account. I will provide rules for play and creation that we will go over in the Session 1.

What I provide

I will provide a Character Keeper, Maps, NPC Portraits, ambient soundtracks for mood settings, and more!

Gameplay details

First of, ALL players will fill out a Consent Checklist. It is anonymous (except for things that need to be discussed) and will let me know the baseline for what is permitted in play. No one else but me will see this checklist and the information will be presented without judgement to make sure all players feel comfortable. If the lines and veils ever change then please let me know. + I use the X Card in play. At any point during play, if you feel uncomfortable and need to stop then please drop an X in the discord chat and we can pause, discuss and either continue or wrap-up. There will be no question of the use of this except for insight to what was made uncomfortable and if a discussion needs to occur. + I also run games with an open door policy. At any point if you feel the need please step away and just reach out when you can to let us know you are okay. The benefit of home games means that we can pause, rewind, or do whatever we need and the game isn't at risk, though the safety and comfort of all players trumps the game.
