Dust swirls and dry wind shout their cursed heat upon the husked lands of man. Upon them, nothing grows. Nothing Will. “Famine hast come” cry the faithful in desperation, “the end shall soon follow”. They are not wrong. Yet, solace comes. Not in feed or miracles. For it wears stripes and patched shoes, wielding the scent of burnt oil and lard. The Carnival arries. Birthing hope from misery.
Crossroads Carnival: A Town called Tomorrow is a series that will run for 2.5 hours during the wednesdays of September. Signing in all session is not required, but greatly encouraged.

On the Game Itself: Crossroads Carnival is a Powered by the Apocalypse game placing the players in Dust Bowl America. The Great Depression is in full swing, and the world is going to hell. In their desperation the rubes turn to every sort of dark magic and eldritch being to save themselves and theirs. The players assume the roles of carnival performers who are as real creatures of myth and legend during the night as they are performers during the day. They work to halt the advent of darkness, while fighting the prejudices and hatred of the people they are trying to save.
Content Warning: As described by the game itself “Crossroads Carnival contains abuse of all kinds (physical, emotional, and sexual), shaming, violence, animal abuse, and almost every kind of othering (being treated like you don’t belong in society)”. However, safety tools will be in full effect throughout this series to ensure the safety of the participants.
