About the adventure
ALASKA, 1984: While the rest of the world watches the Olympics and dances to synth-pop, you are being flown into the heart of the Alaskan wilderness on a twin-prop bush plane. You are federal agents—FBI, DEA, EPA, or military personnel—hand-picked for a task your superiors can’t, or won't, explain. You have no satellite uplinks, no GPS, and no backup. You have a badge that doesn't carry much weight in the tundra, a service weapon, and the nagging suspicion that the government agency that sent you isn't telling you the whole truth. As the temperature drops to -40 Fahrenheit, the line between "rational investigation" and "survival horror" begins to blur. You will face a landscape where the isolation is a physical weight, and the local Indigenous legends about the "Great Cold" start to feel more like warnings than folklore. This game uses the Delta Green system (a cousin of Call of Cthulhu). Expect a mix of investigative legwork, tense social navigation, and bursts of high-stakes, lethal combat. We prioritize atmosphere, Rule of Cool, Heavy Roleplaying, and "Theater of the Mind". This campaign is for players who love slow-burn tension, 1980s atmospheric thrillers (think The Thing or X-Files) vibe of uncovering secrets that were never meant to see the light of day.

About me
"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." I love fun. And roleplaying games. And cheese. And horror! I'm a professional "Learn To Play" DM, artist & writer, that enjoys teaching beginners how to play these games. I love writing and collaborative storytelling in all its forms. I use horror as a tool for creating fun and escaping reality for a few hours. I'm a professional storyteller in all its forms: writing books, ttrpg adventures, short stories, novels, and TV shows. Roll20 and Discord are my favorite replacements for in-person gaming. I live on a small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, so that makes in person gaming difficult these days. So, I invested a ton of time, energy, art, writing, and creative juice to improve my Virtual DM game. I am one of the best Professional DMs you will ever encounter and have over 40 years' experience (I'm older than dirt lol). Most of my players are LGBQT and women, so we respect consent and are kind to all who play. No racism, transphobia, misogyny, or homophobia allowed. I want this to be a fun safe place for everyone. My favorite game systems are Call of Cthulhu 7th ed, D&D 5e (2014), Pathfinder 2nd ed, Cyberpunk Red, and Shadowrun 5th ed. I live in the Azores, Portugal on Sao Miguel Island. It's the Hawaii of Europe and an awesome place to live. I reside here with my family, chickens, dogs and cats.
