The Bureau of Occult, Ghosts, and Unknown Spirits started as a scam to make money off of the gullible in 1920's New York. Trick people into believing that spirits can be contacted, allow them to "talk" to their loved ones, and then leave them wanting more in the manner of the Fox sisters. It would have been easy to make money hand over fist if the market hadn't been saturated with others trying to pull the same con. So, as any entrepreneur would do, they looked for the need in the market. The Bureau turned to debunking other spiritualists as their primary goal though they still offer their "spiritualism" skills if they are required. From this new venture, these individuals have found that some of the events they have witnessed can't be explained by the natural or the manufactured. They have had some minor success in the business, but not enough to pay the bills or make them a household name. Join the Bureau as they await their next "job" whatever it may be. This is going to use the 5e system, but there will obviously be some homebrew rules that go along with it. NEW PLAYERS ARE WELCOME. Magic isn't believed to be real by the common people. Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes don't really exist in this world. What you'll do is take your race, claim the bonuses, but re-skin them as a human with exaggerated features. We will only be playing races/classes that are in the rule books. When you are thinking of your character, there are a lot of possibilities... Ex-mob enforcers with a penchant for smashing things with a hammer when he doesn't get his way, alchemically inclined men of god that uses his sword to smite evil, an ingenue that seems to affect the weather with her mood... I can't wait to see what you come up with. I'm looking for 3 players to join me in a one shot based on the idea above. A few things about me; I am a new DM. I'm not a pro member. There is going to be a lot of theater of the mind. A lot. New DM, not a new player. I've been playing DnD on and off for the last 6 years. I'm currently in two games that are a year+ long. I love RP. The game will be extremely heavy RP with little to no combat. I'll do a ton of voices, though you'll probably think them cheesy. I like to play with groups that are in it for the character and the story. If you are interested in playing, please shoot me a PM with: Why you are interested in this one shot: Your experience with DnD (even if it is just listening to podcasts): Your thoughts, if any, on what type of character you want to play: Your discord: After I have received your PM, I'll shoot you a message on discord to set up a time to talk so we can talk and make sure it will be a good fit.
