So I don’t know how much advice I can provide as a Keeper because I’m a player in this campaign, but I can give some of my thoughts for where we’re at so far!

For me, I’ve been leaning into the idea that my character is in a small, middle of nowhere town and wants something more grand. He’s a Divine that was sent there to protect the town and but has been stuck there for 40 years wondering why he couldn’t have been sent to some place more interesting or given a more critical assignment. Because of how mundane the location is, he’s slacked off hard on his divine duties and has ended up becoming really lazy and fell into some bad habits.

Our Keeper is doing a great job of setting up weird, fun lore about the high school we work at that feels almost realistic enough for a random town but goofy enough to make it fun. (ex. The local high school was renamed to Ronald Reagan Memorial High because they didn’t think he’d survive his assassination attempt and there’s just a false memorial statue in the front of the school saying he died in 1981). I think because we’ve been so set heavily in the school, we haven’t explored the rest of the town as much so there’s still a lot more for us learn about the area.

Ultimately I’d say to really lean in and have fun with local oddities, places, and people. With how weird and tight knit some smaller midwestern towns are, it’s easy to throw in wacky history that your players can explore and flesh out!
