About the adventure
"HARK adventurer! Cold winds gather. Raise your axe and muster your spirits! We must plunder the Hoard of the Sea Wolf King!" Shadowdark is a new and popular minimalist Role Playing Game that is compatible with 5e. For our adventure, we will begin in the frozen Isles of Andrik. The Long Dark is upon us. The sun does not rise. Through the dark we make our way. Why? For riches? Glory? Or simply because that is our way? Why do you fight? And who is at your side?

About me
Greetings travelers! Have a seat by the hearth and let us weave a tale or two. My name is Thor, and I have been playing and running role playing games for over two decades. I have run several different multi-year campaigns and a huge variety of one-shots. ❤️ I believe in creating a safe and welcoming environment for all of my players! That means prioritizing safety tools and communication. 📚 I love teaching new players! Everyone learns differently and everyone has something to teach. ⏰ I respect our time together! I try to make time for thrilling combat, daring roleplay, and a satisfying narrative arc all in 3-5 sessions! 📖 I believe that collaborative storytelling is one of the most ancient and important human experiences! 🐉 And, I believe that it's just super duper fun to goof around and tell stories with some new friends! Let’s imagine a world together! I hope to see you by the fireside!

Safety
How Thor creates a safe table
The first session will consist of about 1/3 mingling, setting expectations, and safety discussion, 1/3 collaborative character creation, and 1/3 adventure hook and inciting incident. If you have any questions at all please feel free to contact me! I typically check my inbox at least twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening.
