About the adventure
A great game for beginners to Dungeons & Dragons. A child is missing, and nobody seems to be investigating. It's up to your group to find out why, solve the mystery, find the child, and bring the perpetrators to justice! (Or, failing that, bring justice to the perpetrators!) In a remote fishing village, with winter setting in, your small band of adventurers is hired by the unlikeliest of clients to find a missing child. How you go about it, and what you finally do if you succeed is entirely up to you.

About me
I've been a Dungeon Master for almost 50 years, starting with the boxed set when I was ten. I've played and/or run a large number of systems, from the well-known to the obscure, though I keep finding myself back with D&D or Call of Cthulhu. I've DM'd for players of all levels of experience, from none at all to decades. I like a narrative format and being creative in figuring out how to fit what players want within the rules of the game. I've run games on virtual tabletops since before the pandemic. I'm also a published science fiction and fantasy writer, and use that same creativity on the games I run, whether I've written them myself or I'm running a published scenario.
