The CAMPAIGN Premise ::

Our City Streets - Act II - O c c u l t

╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕

Leif Adleton is a man who noticed a curious phenomon growing in the bustling metropolis and the dank slums of Duskvol. His thesis: that some invisible plague is affecting the citizens of this fair city, and it could be changing them in ways no one realizes. With some convincing, a group of patrons from the University gave him meager funds to perform interviews and form a survey group and interviews.

For 3 silver dollars once a week, persons who have some strong personal opinions about what lies outside the ghost coils in the darkness of the void sea. A few members of this group, realizing deeper connection, have decided to enact upon the idea of forming a sub-group without Mr. Adleton knowing, with the ultimate goal of bringing the outside in.

Will they bring their desires to fruition with violence or subterfuge? Will they succeed in getting the attention of that which they cannot fathom?

                    ### ::WHO::

A quick little bit about me: I go by teronism professionally. I've been roleplaying for about 14~ years now, mostly through text via Play-by-post forums, IRC and the like. I got started with the campfire and freeform improv type 'games', later moving on to Dungeons and Dragons as a storytelling catalyst. The story is ultimately my main interest in TTRPGs, so most often I take a more rules-light approach to GMing than some GMs I've played with, going for narration over mechanics when I see fit. I've been DMing for around 5~ years now and my preferred style of game-running is Theatre of the Mind with a focus on collaborative narration, so I'm looking for players who are as eager to engage in a similar group experience.

::GENERAL RULES::

There are no requirements on familiarity with any of the systems used. There is a requirement that you be comfortable with making up a story and character, sharing ideas and improvising collaboratively, and having some experience with roleplaying is always good.

• As I am a storyteller, the rule of cool applies here. If it's cool, cinematic and epic chances are I will allow it. I adhere to the spirit of the law insofar as it keeps the story good - but some rules are meant to be broken. I routinely (in my own play) ignore rules in favor of story and thematic penalties I didn't technically need to take if it makes for more engaging story-writing down the line.

And because I want there to be no miscommunication:

• Sexist, racist, or otherwise offensive remarks and opinions being espoused, or offensive behavior towards other players at any point will result in ejection.
• Murder hobo'ing, meta-gaming, and being overly vulgar just for the heck of it, are all big no-no's.
• More generally, don't be a creep. Act responsibly.
• If I, in any capacity, ever offend or make anyone uncomfortable, or don't handle an issue that arises in a way that you feel encourages your continued participation please let me know.

And then, of course, I want us to all get along. Hopefully, we will, but no way to know until we've met!

::Payment and Scheduling::

The Session Zero of the campaign is completely free and will go over the world setting, any questions about the game itself, character creation, and other campaign related errata. Some or all of the Session Zero might be done via text chat over Discord/Slack/Hangouts, etc. depending on player preferences and availability.

The first session of the game is to be paid at the end of the session if you enjoyed the start of the game and intend to continue playing. Payment can be done through Paypal or Zelle.

Subsequent games must be paid up-front within 24-hours of the game's start. We run games on a Three-strikes policy: if you refuse to or fail to pay in advance of a session, your character will be NPC'd for a maximum of three sessions and then will be removed from the story.

If you need to miss a session for whatever reason and give forewarning, you will not incur strikes and can resume play again at your earliest convenience.

The scheduled time is not set in stone. If the assembled group has a preference for another nearby time, something can be worked out from my end as I have a fairly open work schedule. Bi-Weekly games are also an option!
