About the adventure
🏜️ The Sands Drink Blood beneath The Serpent's Shadow! 🐍 The wedding feast at the White Palm Oasis has turned to ashes. The Sheik's prospective daughter-in-law has vanished into the dunes! 😱 Whispers on the hot wind speak of only one culprit: the ancient efreeti lord known only as "The Evil One." 🔥 He commands a fanatical army hidden in the wastes, and he has taken the prize. The grief-stricken Sheik offers a reward that beggars description—treasures beyond your wildest belief—to those brave enough to face the desert's wrath. This is Old-School Desert Adventure, forged in the fires of Shadowdark RPG! What Awaits You: 🧞♂️ Ancient Magic: Hunt for genies and secure powerful Magic Lamps. 🗡️ Fanatical Foes: Battle ruthless cultists serving their fiery master. 🐪 The Unforgiving Sands: Survive the heat, thirst, and classic dangers inspired by the legendary Desert of Desolation. 💀 Shadowdark Lethality: The sun burns, but the darkness kills. Watch your torch timers. Will you brave the heat to claim the reward? Or will your bones bleach in the sun? 👉 DM me to join the caravan! 👈 ---- If you are a veteran or active military please msg me for a discounted rate.

About me
As a seasoned chef by trade, when I'm not whipping up culinary masterpieces in the kitchen, I'm a tabletop RPG Game Master, conjuring fantastical worlds for brave adventurers to explore. I bring my chef's touch to the table, running lighthearted "beer and pretzel" games where laughter flows freely. My games run primarily on Foundry Vtt, using discord for voice and video. My DM style is improvisational and i love to make things up on the fly and use silly voices. I've run games for my local FLGS for 8 years and 10 years in total, as well as teaching role playing games as part of afterschool clubs for 3-5th graders and 5-8th graders. Using my years of experience, i've run tables as big as 12 players with ages from 60+ to as low as 4! Very open to trying new and different RPG's and stepping out of my comfort zone, experience is the mother of wisdom! Check out my youtube for my live play series to get a feel for who i am!

Safety
How DM 'Ironheart' Melo creates a safe table
We will be using a simple 'Pause' for any safety or game concerns/clarifications. At any moment a player may call for a 'Pause' and all game action will stop and we can address any concerns, whether it be something they don't feel comfortable with or just over-all rules questions. The aim of the game is to have fun and get some laughs in. At no point should anyone feel uncomfortable.
