About the adventure
This one-off campaign is set in the Call of Cthulu Dark Ages setting guide. It is in England in the Dark Ages, and explores religion and the occult through a horror lens. “The Doom that came to Wessex” is a fun, bloody, and horrific one-off that is not for the squeamish. Starting in the village of Totburh, players will navigate their way to the local monastery, where something terrible has happened and the monks are not themselves.

About me
I am a 33-year old GM, and I want to share my love of table top games. I specialize in the Call of Cthulu rpg system, which is a D100-based game. I enjoy doing one-off campaign and longer campaigns which I have written myself. I have a year of experience as a GM in the Call of Cthulu system. I really enjoy the horror elements of the game and am good at giving detailed descriptions to set scenes and world build.

What Amber brings to the table
I’m a pretty laid back GM - if you can find a creative solution to a problem, chances are that I’ll say “yes.” I love giving detailed descriptions, especially within the horror elements of Call of Cthulu campaigns. I do character voices and love to get a bit silly with them.
