About the adventure

"A small archaeological expedition, led by professor Alexandros Giorgios, has found things that referto the lost island of Atlantis as well as ancient pieces of art on the island Filakes. The finds are not enough to actually trace the location of the fabled island, but they do strongly suggest that the place actually existed!" You and your companions travel to Greece to help discover what mysteries the Professor might uncover. However, as is often the case, life adds complications..... ABOUT 'THE TROUBLESHOOTERS': 'The Troubleshooters' provides plenty of player agency, and really leans into player creativity! A lighthearted adventure game in the tradition of franco-belgian adventure comics [such as Tin Tin and Spirou et Fantasio]. Set in a fictionalised euro-centric 1965-1975 era setting. For those of you less familiar with those titles, the game feels alot like an episode of The Saint, The Green hornet, The Men From Uncle, Charlies angels, the A-team or even Scooby-Doo. Mission Impossible is another good point of reference. In the spirit of the genre, violence is rarely fatal, but you might get knocked unconcious and captured, leading to further complications and an adventurous escape etc. This game is just great fun!

Elwood is a great GM. He keeps the players active and keeps the world alive. He allows the players to play their characters and adjusts as needed to to fit the story.

Played Masks of Nyarlathotep and it was a blast! First time Cthulhu player via Roll 20. Elwood took us on a great ride and rolled with our interests and changes in our player make-up over time.

Great GM who knows the universe well. Good voices, and great knowledge of the rules. Some GMs it has felt you are forced along a very set path, it feels he is flexible, and it is about letting us develop the story, more than trying to force us to the story he wants.

Playing with Elwood is an absolute delight. His storytelling is simply terrific. He really breathes life into his worlds with vivid descriptions and rich world-building. He's a flexible storyteller, does a great job balancing his games' narratives with player creativity, and his enthusiasm is absolutely infectious. I highly recommend trying out any of his campaigns! :)
