The Necropolis | Horror Among the Pyramids [New Player Friendly]
Call of Cthulhu | One-Shot
About the adventure
You've discovered a new pharaoh's tomb, it's your crowning achievement. And possibly your last as the door slams shut. THE PLOT While not King Tut's tomb, you've just unearthed a previously unknown tomb. It's the discovery of the year, and sure to solve your Earthlier woes. Except, moments after stepping inside, the workers seal you inside - and you're not the first, either. Can you escape before their ravenous god rises? ABOUT THE MODULE The Necropolis is a pulpy, escape room scenario for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition. In particular, fans of the Mummy (1999) will enjoy this scenario.

Knows the Rules
I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Golvin as a Dungeon Master for Dungeons & Dragons. I have had the pleasure of playing in a 5-week-long campaign, and I can attest to his exceptional skills and dedication to creating an enjoyable and engaging gaming experience. Golvin possesses a deep and comprehensive understanding of the D&D ruleset. His knowledge allows for smooth gameplay, clear rulings, and a consistent, immersive experience. He is patient and always willing to explain rules or concepts to new players, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and included. This patience is particularly valuable for those less familiar with the game like myself, making him an ideal DM for introducing new players to the world of D&D. What truly sets Golvin apart is his ability to craft compelling narratives and dynamic worlds. He is a master of improvisation, seamlessly weaving player choices into the ongoing story, creating a sense of agency and investment. His descriptions are vivid, his NPC interactions are engaging, and his encounters are challenging and rewarding. Beyond his technical prowess, Golvin fosters a positive and inclusive atmosphere at the table. He prioritizes fun and ensures that every player has an opportunity to shine. He is adept at balancing combat, roleplaying, and exploration, catering to a diverse range of player preferences. Golvin consistently demonstrates the qualities of an exceptional Dungeon Master: knowledge, patience, creativity, and a genuine passion for the game. Any group would be fortunate to have him guiding their adventures. I wholeheartedly recommend Golvin to anyone seeking a memorable and enjoyable D&D experience

What I provide
I bring relevant PDFs (Keeper Rulebook & Investigator Handbook), an optimized Roll20 game room, and experience running this adventure before.
Gameplay details
As part of on boarding, I will ask players for their Lines & Veils and provide, which I'll note at the start of the one-shot. But if I foresee a problem before the session starts and can't remove the element, I'll discuss it with you. Most commonly due to vague wording. I am also responsive during play, in case something overly unpleasant comes up. In such cases, you can verbally communicate to the group your unease, drop an "x" in the chat, or PM me with an "x". Afterward, I'll remove or skim over the content as quickly as possible.
