About the adventure
The Harvest Road cuts through rolling farmland, darling orchards, and little towns that lock their doors before dusk. Caravans vanish along its path, later found intact but empty and abandoned, as if the road itself swallowed the people whole. You’ll start as everyday nobodies, small potatoes, that go from zero to hero in 3-5 sessions. This is a beginner-friendly, learn-to-play short campaign using Legend in the Mist, a rustic fairytale fantasy game. Expect folktale dread rather than constant gore. The story is about becoming heroes by protecting others, making choices under pressure, and facing a monster that isn’t just teeth and claws! My GM style is welcoming, collaborative, and transparent. No question is a dumb question. We’ll learn the system together, I’ll teach as we go, and I’ll make sure you always understand your options in a scene. Sessions will blend tense travel, mystery, and character-driven moments with dynamic encounters that have clear objectives beyond “fight until it’s over.” If you like atmospheric horror-fairytales, found-family, and watching ordinary people become brave, this road is for you.

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.

What eli/elisa brings to the table
My table is beginner-friendly and collaborative. I’ll teach as we go, explain options clearly, and treat questions as part of play, not interruptions. The goal is that everyone feels comfortable taking risks, trying things, and learning the system together. I lean hard into NPCs and environmental storytelling. I’ll do character voices when I can, but they’re a bonus, not a requirement for immersion. This will mostly be theater of the mind, but I will provide battle maps or images to help players visualize the space (No AI Art or Music will be used) Expect dynamic, objective-based encounters rather than grindy slugfests. Combat can be tense and tactical, but it’s always in service of the story: protect the caravan, hold a chokepoint, retrieve someone dragged into the corn, escape before the road closes behind you. I consider Rules as Written first, but the Rule of Cool gets the final say when it makes the scene better and keeps the game moving. Above all, I run a table where we have fun without getting sidetracked, and where “we win together” is the vibe, even when the Harvest Road tries to prove otherwise.
