About the adventure
Tonight will be a night that changes your life forever--almost certainly for the worse. What starts as a simple drive down a forest road in a storm quickly devolves into a heart-arresting, panic-fueled frenzy for survival. You're just an ordinary human being. What can you possibly do against the horrors that haunt this stretch of the road? Whatever resistance you are capable of mustering, you had better do it--and you had better do it NOW. In this one-shot, you will fight throughout the night, desperately grasping for every chance you can to survive. Survival is NOT guaranteed. If you're smart, though, and maybe a little lucky, then maybe, just maybe, you'll live to tell this horrible tale another day. ********************* This one-shot is perfect for beginners or more experienced players!

About me
Avast, ye intrepid adventurer! Ye hast...*Ahem*. Perhaps I should be serious. Hello, there! I'm Enigmaze, but you can call me Enigma. I have been DMing for 9 years (as of 08/2025). Throughout those years, I've ran a variety of systems ranging from D&D 5E to Exalted: Essence and even V:tM 5E and, recently, Daggerheart. My interests are vast and varied. Odds are, I either already have a game for you OR I likely have one (or will have one) in the works!
