About the adventure
This is an original adventure module that combines elements of Dungeons & Dragons with the themes of Dawn of the Dead. It is a compact hexcrawl mini-campaign in which you and your fellow survivors must defend a manor each night against relentless waves of the undead. During the day, you will venture out to search for equipment and tools, all while seeking a means of escape from the mist that ensnares you in this perilous region. Designed as a mini campaign, expected to finish around 3-4 sessions that are 3 hours long each. **There is an alternate leveling system I use for this campaign instead of the RAW Shadowdark, as it is part of the module theme.

About me
DMing since 2015, have run official D&D WoTC Campaigns and homebrew ones that ran from months to years. Love teaching newbies but also grinding it out with the veterans. I'm experienced with both adults and kiddos, have professional background coaching kids and adults competitive swimming. Come one, come all! I have rules not just for Dungeons and Dragons 5e, Knave & Shadowdark for Fantasy but also Delta Green (Lovecraftian Detective), Vaults of Vaarn (Weird Scifi) and Mork Borg (Doom Metal RPG)

What Nashcraeft brings to the table
I will bring the rule system and adventure module. Theatre of the mind will be employed with a few visual/audio aids to liven the mood. Can expect LOTS of gameplay and interaction with the adventure, opportunities to roleplay with NPCS and affect the story, and a rules light system that favors rulings over rules.
