About the adventure
In the frozen north few can survive. In the winter, the people make sacrifice to their dread gods so that they may outlast the bitter cold. In the summer they raid, stealing what they need to survive the brutal months and appease the cruel Gods who decide their fate. You are one such Sea Wolf. Seeking treasure, you have gone to the tomb of an ancient King of your people. For life and for glory, you must discover the treasure that lies within and claim your destiny. - Search the sea for lost treasures. The dead kings no longer need them, though they will fight to protect them. - Raid the wealthy peoples to the south. Their money has bought them expensive defensives. Show them how little they matter to you. - Serpents and Drakes venture across the frozen waters of the North, spelling death for those who journey. Slay them or be slain by them.

About me
Who am I? A GM who loves to tell shared stories and laugh a lot. A GM with a background in writing, who focuses on story and creativity. A person who strives to make a safe and inclusive space so that people can feel free to role play with one another. My tables are a place of peace in a tumultuous world, and I do my best to maintain that peace. With one of my games you can expect: - A focus on roleplay, and the room to explore character relationships - Player driven narratives. You are the heroes. It's your story. - Full voice acting, and some physical performance to go with it -For games with a focus on combat, tactical thinking will trump character builds or anything else. Be smart: not every combat is booked for you to win. - To laugh harder than you have all week!

Creating your character
Players will create characters together as part of Session 0. Core stats will be rolled for randomly, as per the rules of Shadowdark. If you have any questions about how Shadowdark handles character creation, please feel free to reach out to me and ask. We will be starting at level 0 and be doing a Gauntlet to earn your class and first level.
