Hogmanay Horror | Call of Cthulhu | Beginner-friendly

I've been in several games run by Darkmalice and I've never been disappointed and you won't either. He's an expert at getting you into the mood of whatever he's running and setting you up for. Expect thrills, chills and someone to take a spill.

Gives players the freedom to make their own choices. Does a great job on setting up the scene and atmosphere. Every generous with new players. During moments of the session he asked us players a few times what our characters are feeling, which really helps you get in your characters mindset.

I had a great time with Darkmalice in a Call of Cthuhlu adventure! He definitely knows how to set the tone for a Lovecraftian horror. The game went WELL over the estimated length but he was happy to just keep rolling with us until the story was completed. I recommend Darkmalice, especially if you enjoy getting goosebumps.

I've been in a few campaigns he's run by now; always impressed with how he can think on his feet and keep the story going regardless of what weird direction the players might want to take it. His systems also tend to be more narrative and not so heavy on numbers, which is great for freedom or for new players - definitely made it easier for me as a beginner. Some of the times our party's decided to go off on a tangent, he's developed ideas the party's presented and incorporated them into the world; little details or elements introduced back when I was playing a different character have showed up again in a different campaign. There's a good level of interactivity to the worldbuilding. The campaigns I've been in have had some comedy mixed into them, but I know he's run some darker ones. From how he handles our more serious scenes, I'm sure he does more than fine in them.

Very accommodating for beginners and well able to adapt to whatever ridiculous nonsense we throw at him. Have never had a bad experience with any of his games and would highly recommend his campaigns to anyone.

I was a necromancer/shadowmancer in a longer homebrew campaign (Zero2Hero) for about maybe 6 months. Absolutely stunning world building and over all promotion of fun and inclusivity. Dark and creepy to exhilarating range. Great settings, story, characters, even did a great job accomodating our wildcard character (though sometimes in a punishing manner - players beware!) :) In all good fun, it was a great group and time. I also played his pokemon detective rpg spinoff one offs. Beautiful visual guides and theater of the mind style (no visuals) capability. We used the 2d8 systems over roll20 and discord but I have no doubt he is well versed in a broad array of platform and genres. 10/10 would recommend!
