About the adventure
What brought us here? ⛵ Your boat is destroyed 🏝️ You awaken on a strange island ⛓️ Your first thought is escape 🤫 But the island may hold the secret to your past...and future 🏰 What will you do when you leave? Whether crew, passenger, or prisoner, you find yourself aboard The Queen's Fury, a prisoner transport vessel on her first, and final voyage. Shipwrecked, you awaken among what remains of your fellow passengers, stranded on an island that exists on no known map. But all is not as it seems. The island seems to speak to you as if it knows you, unfolding echoes of your past, present, and future. Why were you brought here, and what awaits you once you escape? What to expect: 📜 A custom adventure. Your characters are the stars. All backstories WILL be used. 🗺️ Rewarding exploration. The Forgotten Isle is vast and full of mystery. And what of the perils of the outside world? ⚔️ Exciting combat. The unknown lurks in the shadows of The Forgotten Isle. Prepare for deadly fights where no two encounters are the same. 🗣️ Dynamic roleplay. The politics of the world both within and beyond The Forgotten Isle are fraught with obstacles. How will you react? 🎭 A perfect balance of comedy and drama. Fans of Critical Role, Dimension 20 and NADDPOD will find a lot to love. ...and much, much more! Come with me as we create a brand new world of adventure together in a campaign from levels 3-12 and beyond. Your characters drive the action. Your decisions shape the story. What will YOU do?

About me
With over a decade of experience running games I know how to craft an adventure that will shock and surprise you, placing YOU at the centre of world-shaping events. Every decision counts. Every roll of the dice changes the story. Every character gets their turn in the spotlight. Let's make some magic together! More about me: 🎥 I have a masters degree in film curation and have a passion for all things cinema. I carry this through to my games, bringing epic storylines inspired by a world of storytellers before me. Want to feel like the star of a Hollywood blockbuster, a Hong Kong martial arts hero, or a cigar-chewing spaghetti western cowboy? I know how stories function and how to make your dreams a reality. 🎲 I offer balanced yet challenging experiences that prioritise teamwork and foster a collaborative game between you and your fellow players. Exhilarating combat, free flowing role-play and unpredictable exploration means that you will get to experience all pillars of TTRPGS at a first class level unlike anything you've experienced before. 😄 I am approachable both in and out of game. Want to change something about your game? Let me know and I will always be happy to make adjustments. Looking for a place to call home? We foster a diverse community of players where all are welcome regardless of background. Need someone to lend an ear for some out-of-game issues? Let's talk. My door is always open. I hope to see you in game soon!

How Olly creates a safe table
📜 A custom campaign - This is not a pre-existing setting. Your backstories will help develop the world. - Individually targeted quests will keep the stakes high. - Player buy-in is a must. As this world will be developed from YOUR backstories, it is essential that players are willing to put effort and thought into their characters. Thinking and feeling in-character is strongly encouraged. ⚙️ A perfect balance of the three pillars - Exciting combat will keep you on the edge of your seat. - Rewarding exploration means a new surprise is always on the horizon. - Deep NPC motivations provide high-stakes role-play encounters. 🗣️ Community guidelines - Collaborative thinking is a must. - Zero tolerance for harassment and abuse - Have fun and encourage others to do the same
