About the adventure
For months a killer has stalked Dunwall's dark alleyways... But when a noble heiress turns up murdered INSIDE the Golden Cat (a luxury bordello catering to aristocrats), the Madame calls on the City Watch for justice. You are one of a handful of Special Officers in the City Watch, and your job is to bring the killer down by ANY means: "All may be pardoned in service to the crown.". So decide your methods; the end justifies the means... To catch a sinister killer, you'll have to brave the harsh streets of Dunwall, stare into the icy Void itself, and risk becoming the very thing you seek to stop.

About me
Greetings and well met, fearless traveler! From the dark caves of the Sword Coast, to the shimmering shores of Otari; from the depths of cyberpunk dystopia, to a Galaxy Far Far Away, I've been the companion of countless adventurers on their journey to greatness! My campaigns continue to thrill players in game stores, online via VTT, and even within the confines of their own living rooms. All walks of life can safely come together at my games and forget the real world for a few hours. TTRPGs are about hanging out and having collaborative fun; that's exactly what you'll find us doing at my table. Come prepared for one of the most dynamic, interactive roleplay experiences you've ever had! You WILL have a large hand at creating the narrative, with freedom to build and play the character you always wished you could! WHY HIRE ME?: Family Discounts!!! - I'm a family man, so I know it can be hard to separate personal time from family time, but with my family discount you no longer have to! ENOURMOUS Library - I'm truly a GAME master, fluent in over a dozen different systems including: DND 5e, Pathfinder 2e, Call of Cthulu, Cyberpunk RED, Dungeon Crawl Classics, Classic Traveller, Fallout the RPG, The Dishonored RPG, The Dresden Files RPG, Ironsworn, and the list just keeps going! Shoot me a message to inquire about a game I haven't listed. Full Immersion - My worlds are complete sandboxes that you can live in, potentially for years. There are endless possibilities during a campaign, and even once you've beaten it, you may continue questing in that same world, dealing with the consequences of the previous campaign! Solo and Duo Mode! - Have you ever wanted to TRULY be the main character? To play in a story fully centered on YOU? At MOST tables, your character will be just one of 4-6 other powerful heroes, but in single player or two-player mode, it's only YOU and your choices that decide the outcomes. You have my FULL attention as the game master, allowing me to tailor-make your experience, but you also get to play a much more powerful character than typical. If you want to feel as immersed as possible, then hop in solo or with a friend, and see what unfolds! Youtuber - Subscribers to my Youtube channel, "Encounter - Mastering Dungeons", receive a discount, so come check out the channel! Tucsonan - I live in the Tucson area, and am frequently found at the Isle of Games, where I run live games OFTEN!

Creating your character
I offer six pre-generated characters for you to choose from. If you want help making a custom character, we can run through it before we start playing. Character creation is very simple in this game, so it won't take long. If you want to make your own character at home, you can! Simply bring your character to the first session, and I'll review them. Your character should have 2 Flaws, 1 Archetype, and 1 Outlook.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
ONLINE: Firstly, join the discord! https://discord.gg/fxTnDZxefT Next, create a free Roll20.net account! And that's it! You'll receive your link to the VTT the day before game time. IN PERSON: Simply come to the Isle of Games (in Tucson, AZ) on game night. You need 2d20s to play the game, and that's it! See you there!

Safety
How Malcolm The Brewmaster creates a safe table
This campaign takes place in the city of Dunwall, and uses the Dishonored 2d20 system. The main gameplay focus is exploring the city, investigating locations, and talking to NPCs. There's also a ton of potential for combat depending on your choices, and plenty of loot for the adventurous. (Session 0 will help determine the exact gameplay preferences for your group.) This Game is Rated: M for mature | PEGI 18+ | Content Warning: The Dishonored setting has disturbing imagery such as devouring rat swarms, pestilent plagues, gory crime scenes, and disease / filth / decay, however, this content is HIGHLY NEGOTIABLE. The most important thing is that everyone has fun creating a story that'll be fondly remembered. During session 0, we'll discuss what content you DON'T want to see, and review the safety tools I use. If you'd like to be more discreet about your content preferences, please, speak with me privately before / after any session. Dishonored has "Strong Themes" and frankly depicts: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Sexual Themes, Mild Nudity, Strong Language, Ritual Magic. | Important Notices: •New players welcome! Even if you've never played TTRPGs before, you'll find this campaign accessible. •Pre-generated characters available! •Cinematic Gameplay and Immersive World! •You are the arbiter of your own fate. How you catch the killer is up to you! •"Stars and Wishes" will be asked periodically to better tailor your player experience! A note on play style: I like to voice NPC's and roleplay to the fullest and am grateful when players feel comfortable going all the way, but there's NOTHING WRONG with wanting to just cross blades, shoots guns, and speak purely in 3rd person. I only have three expectations: 1) treat everyone (including me) with the same respect you expect. 2) follow the StartPlaying behavior policy. 3) uphold a general façade of immersion.
