About the adventure

When a delirious stable hand collapses at the players' feet, rambling about a stolen book and a withering curse, the party is thrust into a race against time. An ancient tomb has been disturbed, its undead queen angered, and her vengeance spreads like rot through a nearby village. In this cursed desert one-shot, players must navigate haunting halls, solve spectral riddles, and return the tome to its rightful resting place—before the last candle of life flickers out in the sands. Genre: Mystery, Light Horror, Whimsical Intrigue Tone: Suspenseful This game is for both new and returning players! We're excited to come together and dive into an adventure, using Discord for voice, Owlbear for tokens and visual maps, and Sync Tube to create an immersive atmosphere with background music. Feel free to share your favorite tracks! I'm 100% open to music suggestions to make our journey even more memorable!

About me

Hey there, friends! 🌟 Welcome to my corner! My name is Reno and I am a passionate gamer with a rich background in tabletop games and MMORPGs. I've been diving into the world of D&D 5e for 2 years now and have been running games for almost as long. I love creating a chill and laid-back vibe at the table. While I often lean into some spooky horror themes for our adventures, I totally encourage bringing in a bit of comedy too! So, let’s keep things fun and lighthearted—don’t hesitate to bend the rules and just enjoy the game! Can't wait to share some epic moments with you all! 🎲✨

Reno is an excellent GM. She is so patient with a newer player like me and she ensures a fun, encouraging, respectful environment. I love how battle-packed the sessions have been, with a great amount of social role play for the characters as well. Most interestingly, I like this 'hearthfire' rule she put into play for us, that allows us to share tidbits about each of our characters' backstories/personalities after the end of each long rest. What a great mechanism for getting to know one another! I've only had a couple of sessions with Reno but I look forward to a fun, long campaign with her and my new friends.

I really play around the “rule of cool” and love flavoring my character, and Reno absolutely lets me and everyone else do all that fun stuff — it’s honestly amazing. The story, roleplay, and combat are all well-paced and naturally integrated. One thing I especially love is the “Hearthfire Stories” we do every one or two sessions. They usually happen during short or long rests and give each player a spotlight moment to share about their character or roleplay in ways they might not feel comfortable doing during travel or combat. It’s such a great way for players to prep or build up their moments — reading letters or books, interacting with the environment or other players, reminiscing about the past, or showing growth like learning a new spell or move as they level up. It’s honestly such an amazing idea, especially for newcomers to D&D who might shy away from improv roleplay.

Had a great time, Reno was very forgiving to a new player like me. They even took time out of their day before the session to give me a rundown on game mechanics/rules. Definitely would book again.

Reno is amazing. I would encourage anyone looking for a D&D game to check them out! We had a blast and look forward to many more sessions to come.

Had lots of fun with a one-shot. DM did voices, provided a balanced level of difficulty, and deftly managed a bunch of weird players with weirder characters. Would play again.

Reno was a wonderful DM. One of their one-shots was my first experience with online D&D, and they did an excellent job introducing me to online RPGs. They did a fantastic job of setting the mood and interacting with the players. I highly recommend joining any of their oneshots if you're looking for some fun.
