About the adventure
A single, fractured message is all that remains of your friend. They’d been looking into a strange town—a place they called “the heart of Ashenridge”—before everything went dark. Now, they’re begging for help, but something in their voice seems...wrong. What could this 'Ashenridge' be, and why is it the 'heart' of something? The cabal’s investigation leads them to Ashenridge, a ghost town shrouded in a thick, impenetrable fog, where time warps and fractured memories seep through the cracks. Streets contort in impossible ways, shadowy echoes waft from a bygone era, and the ley lines pulse with an eerie resonance. Mages who come here report chilling visions and awaken something profound within themselves that may have been better left undisturbed. Do you dare enter Ashenridge, where your deepest fears and memories wait in the mist? (Art by Brett Neufled used) Vibes info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYgaL9e7wJM

About me
Hello, I am Matthew Pauze, and I have been a passionate Game Master since 1993. Throughout my years in the tabletop RPG and LARP communities, I have had the opportunity to run and participate in various systems. Currently, I reside in Canada with my family and partner. In 2019, with the rise of Covid-19, I shifted my focus to online platforms such as Discord and Roll20. I aim to introduce and highlight some of the lesser-known gems in the TTRPG community rather than just relying on popular systems like Dungeons and Dragons. In addition to my experience as a Game Master, I also have a strong passion for RPG design. I love exploring new and innovative ways to bring stories to life and create unique and memorable gaming experiences for my players. I am particularly interested in horror settings, as I find something extraordinary about creating an atmosphere of suspense and fear around the table. Another aspect of my work that I take great pride in is my ability to tailor my storytelling style to the needs and preferences of my player troupe. I understand that every group is unique and that I must adapt my approach to ensure everyone has a great time as a group. Whether adjusting the pace, adding more humor, or focusing on a particular story aspect, I always strive to create the ideal experience for my player's troupe. Please note that I do not generally offer my services for children's events. If I cannot accommodate a client, I will help get them in contact with someone who can. Note: Nazis, racists, sexists, transphobes, homophobes, and other bigots are explicitly prohibited from playing, reading, watching, or enjoying my games. In fact, I'd rather you avoided my games altogether. If you have to ask whether this statement is about you, it is.

Creating your character
We will do a session 0 to build our characters at the start. If you are no here at the beginning, we will do a mini onboarding to get a character ready, time allowing. Failing that, there will be a few back up character pregens available. Character creation is flexible, and allows for some edits within the first couple sessions.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please follow the Preparation materials to find the discord. A stable internet connection, mic, and a way to access a VTT will be needed.
What Matthew brings to the table
I maintain a foundry table that is open most of the time so players can check notes, materials, and characters. In addition to the spooky setting, I have a great grasp on the 2nd edition rules, which we can tweak and explore to enhance the experience for the troupe as needed.

How Matthew creates a safe table
