4 | ABOUT THE BETWEEN | CONTENTS | |||||||||
5 | #REF! | The Between is a tabletop roleplaying game about a group of mysterious monster hunters in Victorian-era London by Jason Cordova. Each player takes on the role of one of the 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. The Between is directly inspired by the gothic horror TV show Penny Dreadful, but also takes a lot of inspiration from British horror classics, graphic novels like From Hell and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and pulp-era stories. Mechanically, it’s Powered by the Apocalypse but also uses the mystery system from Brindlewood Bay. The Between is available on DriveThruRPG (and to patrons of The Gauntlet on Patreon for a limited time). | ✒ Intro - The current tab, which features information about the game, this tool and a scenario selector. ✒ Info - For recording/tracking information about the game and your session. ✒ Safety - For recording and managing game expectations and safety tools. ✒ Hunters - The game is largely played in this tab, and is where character creation and gameplay takes place.

12 | NOTES & RECOMMENDATIONS | ||||||||||
13 | • Hiding or unhiding rows and columns is an important part of this character keeper, to keep some aspects a surprise and also to keep the player's screen as uncluttered as possible. Not sure how to hide or unhide columns or rows? Check out this guide: https://www.alphr.com/hide-cells-in-google-sheets/ • If necessary, a player can select the Contrast Mode toggle at the bottom of a character column. This will make all text in their character column black and disable some of the stylistic effects, such as the colour changing text in the section for Janus Masks. • You should hide this sheet when you've finished setting up your character keeper, as well as any sheets (or playbooks) you don't think your group will be using. Enjoy! | ||||||||||
