About the adventure
Few who go outside in the late hours are seen again, creating such a panic that Duke Carlile, current ruler of the town of Blackstone, has begun to hire adventurers from all over the continent, attracting them with the promise of a fortune in exchange for dealing with this supernatural issue. As rather down on your luck adventurers, you have decided to take the duke's offer, believing that this quest will bring you great notoriety, unfortunatelly, what you find is much worse than you could have imagined. The strange mists surrounding the town were in fact a gateway to a cursed kingdom, forgotten even by time itself, it wanders through the emptiness in between worlds, seeking more souls to devour. Survival is your only quest now. Using the Old-School Essentials system by Gavin Norman, along with some houserules, this campaign will put you and your party through quite the ordeal, will you survive and conquer these dark lands or shall you join the forsaken souls in the March of the Dead for the rest of eternity? Character creation and houserules will be explained in full during session 0. LGBTQ+ inclusive.

About me
Hello, my name is Marcos André, a game master from Brazil with 6 years of experience that has decided to enter the realm of professional GMing. Most of my experience is with Dungeons and Dragons 5e, but I have begun to use simpler systems like Old-School Essentials and 3DeT, nonetheless I am more than willing to learn a new system to run. My style of GMing is more to the chaotic side of things, usually starting with a published adventure and slowly letting the dice and players decide the way things go, a method that, more often than not, leads to a more fun, if more chaotic version of the adventure. I try to foster a friendly environment at my tables, doing my best to ensure a positive relationship between my players and myself. It is common for me to create custom content for specific players, such as custom weapons, classes, items, etc.

Creating your character
Characters will be created during Session 0, players unfamiliar with old-school character creation are recommended to watch Epic Solo's video on the subject, but any restrictions, limitations and other changes regarding character creation will be explained in full during session 0.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Discord account to join the game server, along with a decent microphone, although text is an acceptable option if needed (as long as your voice is clearly understood it is fine). You will also need a Google account as the character sheet is made through Google Sheets.
What Marcos André brings to the table
I will provide all the books and custom content required, but am also open for discussion if a player wants to be of a custom class. I make use of character voices and background music to set a proper tone for the scenes, with character-specific events happening when applicable. I'll prioritize the rule of cool as long as it doesn't interfere with the tone of the scene or general pacing of the campaign.

How Marcos André creates a safe table
Session 0 will detail the content of the adventure and possible issues that may arise from it, along with allowing the players to detail the limits they would rather be set. Personally, I have yet to have a player need to use the cards, but they are available if needed and are to be sent through Discord direct messages, a channel with the ready image of each will be available.
