About the adventure
This is a campaign for Shadowdark RPG. A dungeon crawl style campaign set in a humid, stingbat infested (among other things) swamp. Many secrets lie hidden in the dark waters, ancient caves, and cypress forests in and around Alligator Cove. Stories and rumors have spread far of lost pirate treasures, supply barges, and riches from long forgotten explorers who went into the swamp and never made it out. Are you brave enough to venture deep into Alligator Cove? Face whatever dangers await, for the rumor of riches beyond your dreams.

About me
Hello Adventurers! My name is Patrick and I am also a chef. Classically trained and with 30 years of culinary experience. But that's not why you're here. Gaming-wise, I have played Dungeons & Dragons during its TSR days. I got away from it for a bunch of years and came back for 5e. I've been back in the game for about 6 years now. I GM games for a local club based in New Jersey and also have been GMing for Daggerheart. So you can expect to see some one-shots and short form campaigns for both 5e, 5e 2024, and Daggerheart. Welcome in and let's roll some math rocks.
