About the adventure
Embark as members of a swash buckling crew that comes across a massive derelict adrift in the fog. Explore the ghost ship, find its treasure, discover its story, and maybe escape with your lives! A thriller for inquisitive minds that like solving puzzles, uncovering mysteries, spooky ambiance, and deadly combat. Inspiration for the game is drawn from the original Alien film. The players will be empowered to search and explore the ship sandbox style. Characters will start at level 3. Generally this mini campaign will run 2-5 sessions including the session zero depending on the choices the players make. Your Choices May Have Dire Consequences, Choose Wisely. The focus of this adventure is exploration and puzzle solving, with careful choices, combat is avoidable. There will be a session zero to send out safety information, character creation and get a feel for the theme over discord, google docs or roll 20.

About me
Welcome to my profile! Stay a while, read a little about me, and let's have some adventures! I have been running and playing TTRPGs since ~2017 having been drawn in by the social aspect. Spending time with friends laughing? Why not!? Some of my experience. I have completed a homebrew 5th Edition D&D weekly online campaign from 2017 to 2021. I have completed a weekly Mass Effect 5E hack long term campaign from 2023 to 2025. I have mostly run D&D 5E but I have DM'd Starfinder, FreeLeague Alien RPG, and Lancer as well. I have started running Lancer sessions in a homebrew world! Hoping to do some WarBirds RPG in future! Hope to meet you soon!

Creating your character
Level 3 characters can be: ->pre-generated by me, with players to chose the final details including gender, name, background ->made during session zero. There will be one or two backup PC/NPC's in case characters die early on. Published book material is fine for character creation. If you have questions about what is acceptable, please ask.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A mic will be required for this adventure. Webcam is optional but recommended A basic understanding of 5e rules is helpful but not needed. A Roll20 account is required as the game will be hosted there. Discord is required for voice chat during the game. Having an idea of what character you would like to play would be great!
