In Cryptid Creeks, you play a crew of River Scout teenagers setting out to save Clawfoot, the place you call home. Guided by a benevolent cryptid called the Watcher, you will travel the waterways, track down Clues to dangerous Curses, and break them before it’s too late! All the while, an eldritch figure known as the Peddler schemes from the shadows, willing you to fail, and for Clawfoot to fall. It is meant to emulate a blend of mystery, horror, and coming-of-age genres. And the overall vibe is cozy horror, meaning it alternates between comforting and creepy fiction. The system is based off Carved from Brindlewood: this means there is no canon solution to breaking the curses! Instead, players must collect and piece together different clues to come up with a convincing answer and play to find out if they're right! This time, the Coldsteel Curse is plaguing your town: In recent days, vandalism and petty burglaries have been plaguing the area. People are saying that the docks have suffered the most because of this. In addition, the Tranquility ferry has ceased operations due to an unseasonably heavy fog. The police don't seem worried, but you are sure a Curse is the cause. It's not long before you learn that the McGally & Son Fish and Tackle shop is aglow with eldritch energy! Could this be the Ghost of Captain Coldsteel, a feared pirate who lived and died in this area many centuries ago? Can you find out what brought him back and how to stop him once and for all? 

This game will be great if you like playing as teenagers, solving mysteries, Carved from Brindlewood, and media like The Goonies, Gravity Falls, Night in the Woods & Stranger Things. 

The GM will make a thread in advance to sort character selections. 

New players are welcome. 

The GM is very familiar with this system.
