About the adventure
A quiet New England town. A long-abandoned distillery. A letter that should have meant nothing. In The Final Proof, players take on the role of investigators drawn to Harrow Falls, where something beneath the town has been patiently building for decades. What begins as a simple investigation slowly becomes something far more personal, as the line between observer and participant begins to blur. This is a slow-burn, atmospheric campaign focused on discovery, tension, and meaningful choice rather than combat. Players will uncover a mystery that cannot be solved through force alone, only understood—and ultimately answered. At the center of it all is a single question, waiting at the bottom of a long descent. And not everyone who goes looking for the answer comes back the same.

About me
I originally started DM'ing because my DM deployed to Iraq and left me his books. Someone had to run the game, so I picked them up and figured it out as we went. That was 10 years ago, and I’ve been behind the screen ever since. My games tend to lean heavily into exploration, atmosphere, and mystery. I like to build worlds where the past left scars behind — ancient ruins, strange magic, stranger creatures, and systems nobody could fully comprehend . Players usually spend more time investigating and theorizing facts than they do fighting. I run tables that focus on collaboration and discovery. If you enjoy slowly uncovering how a world works, making questionable decisions in dangerous ruins, and occasionally realizing you’ve just activated something that absolutely should have stayed dormant, you’ll probably fit in just fine.

How Carson creates a safe table
I prioritize player comfort by discussing expectations, boundaries, and content during Session 0. I use safety tools like lines and veils as well as X cards. I encourage open communication throughout the game so players can speak up at any time.
