We are playing The Between by Jason Cordova! The Between is a tabletop roleplaying game about a group of mysterious monster hunters in Victorian-era London. They are residents of a place called Hargrave House, and their job is to investigate and neutralize monstrous threats terrorizing the city—threats that Scotland Yard won’t or can’t handle themselves. As the story progresses, they become aware of the plans of a Moriarty-style criminal mastermind they will eventually have to face in order to save Queen and country.

This is the first part of our session zero where we create our characters. In practice in this episode we focus mainly on getting the gist of the rules and discussing the subject matter - with particular emphasis on colonialism and race in particular.
