About the adventure
In 1920, an archaeological expedition led by millionaire playboy Roger Carlyle went missing. Unbeknownst to you a dire plan has been enacted that, if allowed to come to fruition, it could threaten to destroy humanity as we know it. In Masks of Nyarlathotep, you will play as investigators seeking the fate of the missing Carlyle Expedition, all the while facing dark cults, strange lore, hideous monsters, and a host of other foes as you embark on a journey that spans the globe, from the jungles of Peru to the concrete jungle of New York City, to the Australian outback. The story is yours to tell, as you travel across the world, investigating the disappearance and face the ultimate horror.

About me
Hi y’all! My name is Blake. I’m 40 years old, aand have been playing Dungeons and Dragons 5e and other TTRPGs for roughly 8 years, mostly as a DM. I’ve run games from 5e, to Masks, Starfinder, Pathfinder 2e, Monster of the Week, Kids on Bikes, and more. I have a passion for storytelling, and love the collaborative environment that TTRPGs provide! I love providing a fun, and inclusive space for my players to get to tell stories together and enjoy sprawling and epic adventures. I'm a father of 5 awesome kids, as well as a stay-at-home dad, and a teacher, so I love running and teaching games for all ages, and experience levels. One of my favorite things to do is to introduce new players to this amazing hobby! I’ve run multiple Play-by-Post (PbP) games on Discord for my friends, as well as live online and in-person games. I love DMing new and experienced players alike, and Brennan Lee Mulligan and Matthew Mercer are my inspirations for my DMing style. My games tend to have a solid mix of RP and combat, though I love to focus more on the RP side – especially inter-party RP. I strive for my games to be fun, inclusive and safe for my players, and have experience DMing players from children, up to adult. I am always open for communication and my promise to my players is that I will strive to always provide a safe space for them to escape to and have fun! At the end of the day, we all play this game to have fun, and that is what I try to accomplish with my games – that they’re fun, safe, and fair for everyone involved!

What Blake brings to the table

How Blake creates a safe table
We will have a Session 0 where we will talk about boundaries. My DMs will be open for Lines and Veils if you're not comfortable speaking about them in front of others. I will utilize an anonymous, digital X card as well.
