About the adventure

In the autumn of 1926, the quiet New England town of Dunwich Hollow prepares for its annual Harvest Festival. Pumpkins line the porches, cider brews in copper kettles, and children carve jack-o’-lanterns to ward away “things in the dark.” But this year, the festival coincides with a blood moon eclipse, and strange disappearances, odd lights in the fields, and whispers from the ancient stone circle outside town suggest that something far more precious than the harvest will be reaped. This campaign is part of StartPlaying Games "15 Nights of Frights" promotion!

About me

Hello. Welcome to my table... I am a game master with over 2 decades worth of experience running games of various systems, settings, and genres. Everyone is welcome at my table! I love that roleplaying games engage imagination and improvisation in both the players and the GM. I craft unforgettable tabletop experiences steeped in darkness, mystery, and high-stakes storytelling. Whether unraveling ancient conspiracies, surviving apocalyptic horrors, or battling cosmic forces, I lead players through worlds where danger lurks in every shadow. I thrive on making stories with the characters. I am known to improvise very well with whatever the characters want to do and give consequences when appropriate. I don’t seek to kill characters, but I also don’t like to hold punches in combat. I cater my style based on the game and setting we are playing. I have a physical condition called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC for short) that limits strength and mobility in my appendages, so my mind and imagination are my biggest assets. I love telling a story and being part of the creative process for others’ creativity!

Character creation

Creating your character

We will select pre-generated characters from the module(s) or create characters from the core rulebooks. These decisions will be made prior to Session 1.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Players will need a working microphone. A working webcam is not required, but recommended. I offer the option to stream/record games on Kick and YouTube. But only if EVERYONE is willing. A Discord account and Roll20 account are required!

What Colwyn brings to the table

I will have the maps and character sheets provided through Roll20. Rolls may be made on Roll20 or on the honor system with party consensus. Should players need it, I have a pdf of the core rulebook.

Safety

How Colwyn creates a safe table

Players can expect strong amounts of roleplay. Combat in this game can be very dangerous for a PC's well-being. Prior to Session 1, we will go over character selection and/or character creation. We also will cover any safety tools that need to be mentioned publicly. If you have any personal triggers you do not want public, I will keep them confidential!
