About the adventure

Warlock: A Journey into Fantasy and Mystical Adventure Warlock is a rules-light tabletop role-playing game that captures the essence of old-school British tabletop gaming. Designed to be quick, flexible, and highly adaptable, Warlock takes players into a mysterious fantasy world where every decision carries weight, and danger lurks in the shadows. At its core, Warlock is about creating rich, narrative-driven adventures with minimal reliance on complex mechanics. The game provides the framework for a world brimming with peril, where players can shape their own stories and forge memorable characters. Whether you're battling against ancient horrors or solving intricate mysteries, Warlock offers the tools to create truly immersive and thrilling experiences. 🍺You Meet in a Tavern🍺 Welcome to The Frothing Tankard, a raucous crossroads tavern where adventurers, misfits, and heroes gather under one roof. Your story begins here, with laughter, spilled drinks, and whispered rumors. But when a mysterious figure stumbles into the tavern with a dire warning and collapses before your eyes, the revelry screeches to a halt. Now, it’s up to you and a newfound band of allies to unravel a mystery that could threaten the entire Kingdom. Goblin ambushes, dark rituals, and ancient shrines are just the beginning. Will you uncover the truth, save the heir, and survive the dangers lurking in the shadows? Or will the rising darkness consume you all? What to Expect 🔍 Intrigue and Mystery: Uncover dark secrets and solve puzzles as you investigate the disappearance of a noble heir. ⚔️ High-Stakes Action: Face off against goblins, cultists, and otherworldly horrors in fast-paced, dynamic combat. 🗺️ Immersive Exploration: Traverse eerie forests, forgotten shrines, and ancient mines filled with peril and treasure. 🎭 Diverse Roleplaying Opportunities: Bring your character to life in a vibrant, unpredictable world filled with memorable NPCs and moral dilemmas. 🎲 Rules-Light Fun: Experience the classic feel of British tabletop gaming with the Warlock RPG system—quick to learn and rich in storytelling.

Mike is an excellent GM one of the best I have ever played with he has amazing stories and amazing climatic plot points. I have been playing with him for awhile now and honestly I wish I could give him 10 star rating.

I briefly played in Mike's Cyberpunk Red: Queen City game. Mike is a super friendly guy, well receptive to his players, and encourages creativity and player-assisted world building, which was a big part of Queen City. My short-lived participation should not be viewed as a statement on his GMing capabilities, but rather just a poor fit for what I'm currently looking for in a game. Do recommend!

Mike always approaches his games with exceptional enthusiasm where fun is paramount. Creative world building and player agency is always at the forefront of his games, with an emphasis on the Rule of Cool™ and the flow of the story. A very laid-back and easy-going manner fully encourages player input into each session.

Mike is an amazing GM. His storytelling is top notch and the attention to detail as well as the creativity is top tier. I've played several games with him and his group are both entertaining and fun to play with. Highly recommend whether new or seasoned at ttrpg's.

How will character creation work

New players are encouraged to arrive 30 minutes early to their first session to create their first character. We use the rules as written to create characters. Roll20 has a character sheet that makes character creation fairly easy. Some of it is "less than intuitive," but I will help if needed.
