About the adventure
In the frozen north few can survive. In the winter, the people make sacrifice to their dread gods so that they may outlast the bitter cold. In the summer they raid, stealing what they need to survive the brutal months and appease the cruel Gods who decide their fate. You are one such Sea Wolf. Seeking treasure, you have gone to the tomb of an ancient King of your people. For life and for glory, you must discover the treasure that lies within and claim your destiny. - Search the sea for lost treasures. The dead kings no longer need them, though they will fight to protect them. - Raid the wealthy peoples to the south. Their money has bought them expensive defensives. Show them how little they matter to you. - Serpents and Drakes venture across the frozen waters of the North, spelling death for those who journey. Slay them or be slain by them.

About me
Hello, I've been a Game Master for 15 years, and have experience running many systems. I've ran games for friends for years and have GM'd games at conventions, introducing players to a myriad of games. I'm comfortable to run games for beginners who would like to learn more about Role Playing or specific game systems, and I'm comfortable running games for experienced players. I love running games and working with players to help craft the experience that they want.

Creating your character
Players will create characters together as part of Session 0. Core stats will be rolled for randomly, as per the rules of Shadowdark. If you have any questions about how Shadowdark handles character creation, please feel free to reach out to me and ask. We will be starting at level 0 and be doing a Gauntlet to earn your class and first level.
