About the adventure

You’ve been hired to work overnight security at the brand-new StarCourt Arcadium, an “indoor market” that the wizard-CEO insists will change the town forever. It hums with unnatural energy, regardless of the hour. But as night falls, you discover you’re not alone. Toys begin to twitch. Vending machines spark to life. And then you hear giggles... childlike, hollow, and wrong. Where and what is the mall’s power grid is connected to?

About me

Hi! I’m Isaac. My day job is as a web developer. I'm married and have been living in South-East Asia for 10 years. I completed a degree at an international university, where I was the president of the board game club for several years. I learned the key to teach anyone how to play a game; Work backwards from what the player CARES about: What makes you win: “Collect these points” Where to get them: “Trade matching cards for points” How to do things: “Get new cards by..” Applying this to roleplaying games; In ‘Session 0’ I will make sure you know how to attack! There are some secrets… such as learning new spells, where discovering the mechanic is part of the game system. Other than that, I am obsessed with making sure you know enough rules to ACT as your character; empowered and informed You may be surprised at what I “let you get away with” – that's the point of a roleplaying game! The whole reason I’m here is to allow you greater freedom than a computer, a book, or even a set of boardgame rules can allow. I have diagnosed and medicated ADHD, one of the ways it can show up is a deep craving for emotional intensity. My toxic trait is seeking strong reactions. Years of unconscious practice mean I have developed a knack for pressing buttons, stirring up conflict, and chasing those moments that make people around me feel. That used to get me into trouble. But as a GM? It’s my greatest strength. I channel that energy into crafting unforgettable story beats and emotionally charged choices. When you disappoint a friendly “Non-Player Character”, I’ll make it hurt. When a villain taunts you, you will burn to take them down. I use every narrative trick in the book to draw you deeper into your character’s journey, until you feel it in your gut. Join me in crafting adventures where your characters live, breathe, and grow! (possibly into horrible flesh monsters, to be determined)
