About the adventure

[Inclusive] As the Third Age came to an end, the Shadow in the North triumphed over the free peoples of the world. Now the Night Kings rule over broken lands while waging war against the rebellion. Dark priests hunt down spies and insurgents and mages. Spirits and demons and fouler things answer the Shadow's call. In Midnight, you'll play heroes who have taken up arms against the forces of the Shadow fighting for the Light in a world that has forgotten it. You will wage a guerrilla war across the face of an ancient world where's the gods have gone silent and the dead walk to save the world from Izrador, the Shadow In The North. Tone and Feel - Ancient, Daunting, Epic, Grim, Ominous, Terrifying, Tragic Touchstones - Dark Souls, Berserk, The Lord of the Rings, Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn by Tad Williams, The Death Dealer series by James Silke

About me

I've been running games in every medium (tabletop, larp, and pbp) and system for 20+ years - and playing for more than 30. I have run a lot of games in a lot of systems. I have a special fondness for weird fantasy, mystery, and body horror but I can do almost anything. As I have found over the many years of being a Perma-GM. I believe strongly in Safety Tools and Session 0s (which I will never charge for). I am very much against gatekeeping, ableism, racism, transphobia, homophobia, and all such things. I am actively opposed to these ideologies. And I tend to make my bad guys agents of said 'isms and phobias. I mean... who doesn't like to punch Nazis? Outside of gaming I have degrees in Psychology, Criminology, and Marine Biology. The moment we get a dolphin serial killer I am set. I was - many pounds, injuries, and chronic illnesses ago - a competition boxer, kickboxer, and grappler. I love to read. Especially weird fantasy or sword and sorcery.

What Eric The Social Justice GM brings to the table

I am a Rule of Cool GM with a lot of experience rolling with the punches. I will be using ambient music and scene specific scores. Expect combat to be tactical but easily accessible. Combat should be a challenge and not an exercise in frustration. You can expect a lot of roleplay as I am a story heavy GM. I am also a big fan of mysteries and investigations and political intrigue and conspiracies.
