Mini Campaign:

In this series of mini-campaigns, GM Robin Langenhop takes our heroes — including guest player Imani Russell — through a pastiche of summer camp slasher movies with indie RPG systems like “Kids on Bikes” and “Monster of the Week.”

Characters

  • Zora Lee Copeland

    (Imani Russell)

    THE BRAINIAC

    Valedictorian candidate, girl scout, daughter of a powerful attorney, all around perfect human being, and the hottest girl at school. Just ask her — she’d be happy to tell you herself.

  • Eddie Hiller

    (Casey Papas)

    THE CLASS CLOWN

    Motormouth, goofball, and unrepentant jokester, Eddie Hiller simply cannot stop talking. He and Lane are attached at the hip, and their collective schemes would fit perfectly in the TGIF TV lineup.

  • CJ McAllister

    (Max Weinberg)

    THE JOCK

    CJ, short for Cauliflower Juniper, wants nothing more than to graduate, get out of this town, and make it big in the football world, playing for his number one team: the Akron Zips.

  • Lane DeMar

    (Rowan McStay)

    THE BASKET CASE

    After inheriting a serious case of hypochondria from their mom, Lane buries their anxiety with wise-cracking and a lucrative side business selling their prescriptions at the school’s underground drug trade.
