  • Indecisionist Productions Chicago, IL, 60641 United States (map)

"On the fifth floor of gilded-age brownstone building, in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood, an ancient answering machine clicks on. “You’ve reached the Edgewater Supernatural Society. Please leave your name and the nature of your paranormal experience at the beep.”

“Hi, my name is Lyla Coleman. I own a dress shop in Boystown and I well, I think it's haunted? For the last couple weeks, the mannequins are in different poses when I come back in the morning. And I think they might be.... building something in the basement? It’s... I dunno an altar maybe? Can you guys send like an exorcist or someone?” "

This game will be great if you like Buffy or Angel, Supernatural, and X-Files.

Players should build characters ahead.

  • D&D 5E | Level 3

    • Use point-buy or standard array for stat generation.

    • Any officially published content for classes, feats, etc is fine. Permanent flying features excluded. Non-licensed content needs to be run by me, (a screenshot is probably fine) just don’t do it the night before the game.

    • HUMANS ONLY. Human variant is fine.

    • Do not choose a regular background. A modified list will be provided. DO NOT choose additional equipment.

    • This game is recommended for those that are comfortable with D&D 5E, as I won’t be creating new modern classes. We’ll be playing fast-and-loose in the interpretations of the flavor text if we need to keep things feeling “modern”.

    • If you have any backstory notes, please feel free to let me know. Please send me a copy of (or link to) your character sheet at least 2 days before we play. "

Players need to be familiar with this system.
