About the adventure
In the massive city of Moonvale, a group of detectives (the party) needs to work the beat to make ends meet. The city is huge, will you find something never before seen, or will it be another day and another dead body? This is a gritty dark fantasy mystery, where the players explore the city and solve murders. You and the party will be given one to two mysteries a week to solve. The city has been fully mapped out, and each building has an address. Players will have a Directory of addresses and people living in the city. Crimes will have clues that will lead you around the city to different addresses. The setting is the 1830s, and the city is a reimagined London. Overall, this campaign is wonderful for mystery enthusiasts and intermediate players. This game will have very in-depth character creation with heavy roleplay and minimal combat.

About me
Hello thank you for checking my profile. If your reading this you might be asking why this Dm and these games. I have 20 years of D&D experience and 13 years of DMing experience. I know how to enchant and kindle the imagination of players. Games are designed around the players' playing styles. During the first session, we will have a discussion as a group and determine what the expectations are for roleplay frequency, combat frequency, and play style, so by the 2nd session, everything will be tailored to the group's wants. I strive to ensure each player feels heard and has a genuine impact on the unfolding narrative. Whether you live for intense role-play, thrilling battles, or creative problem-solving, you’ll find a warm, open environment where you can shine.
