About the adventure
Welcome to Wasteland Weekend Daily! I'm the unnamed sultry voice coming out of that radio you scrounged up. I'll be reporting everything that happens at Wasteland Weekend, 1984. Join thousands of attendees to gather in the Mojave desert for a five-day post-apocalyptic festival. Set up camp at our compound, surrounded by specially-built sets. Costumes are REQUIRED, and post-apocalyptic campsites and vehicles are encouraged. Live for five days in a world pulled straight out of the Mad Max movies beyond the grip of so-called civilization.

About me
Zillenial, Queer, Witch, they/them I’ve been GMing since 2018, and I’m the reason most of my friends fell into the tabletop rabbit hole in the first place. I’ve played and/or run D&D 5e, Werewolf the Apocalypse, Vampire the Masquerade, Thirsty Sword Lesbians, Monsterhearts, Monster of the Week, Demigods, and Upriver Downriver. My tables lean loose and fast. I love player-driven chaos and campaigns that feel alive. I’m adaptable, and I’m always down to follow the best idea in the room. I also design games. I wrote a TTRPG called Final Girl (published on itch.io) and I’ve released a few modules there too. I hope to run some Final Girl games here for other horror movie trope fans! Expect an inclusive, safety-forward table where we’re here to have fun in whatever form that takes. LGBTQ+ and allies welcome.

Creating your character
We will work on PCs at the beginning of the game but I will provide the character sheet template and the Archetype sheets ahead of time.

What eli/elisa brings to the table
I will provide a map, schedules, wasteland NPCs, and images of locations. I will keep pacing tight, frame scenes clearly, and make sure everyone gets spotlight time, especially in high tension moments. I focus on vivid description, fast scene cuts, and keeping the story moving. I will try to do character voices, but I am on T so mileage may vary. When a voice is not working, I will still differentiate NPCs through attitude, goals, and how they speak to you. Combat is present when it matters, but it is not the main event. If violence happens, it will be quick, dangerous, and story driven rather than tactical.
