About the adventure
A Call of Cthulu 7th edition adventure focused on investigation and survival trying to navigate an emerging zombie apocalypse in the background of The Great War that has brought the world to the brink of destruction. The nations of the Central Power and the Entente have both observed the phenomenon of "Trench Shamblers" and are racing to figure out how the dead are rising, and why, before the world at large discovers just what kind of horror has now emerged amongst their war. You will take the roll of soldiers from either side of the war who have found themselves left behind when a mass infantry charge gets cut short by an emergence of the shambling dead. The world is on the brink of destruction now by the hands of either mankind's war to end all wars, or the rise of an undead horde. You and your fellow investigators need to try and figure out what is going on, and how it might be able to be stopped, or at least survived. New player friendly!

About me
Hail and well met, players! I've been playing and running games for fifteen years, and wanted an opportunity to expand my player base and tell my stories while giving players the chance to explore themselves, the narrative and their characters! I try to offer every player the chance to play what they want, going out of my way to find and craft custom races, classes, and subclasses, items, feats, (etc) for players who have a specific vision in mind. Never hesitate to reach out with a campaign idea not listed, I love to craft purpose built campaigns! Combat ⭐⭐⭐ Social ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Humor ⭐⭐⭐ Exploration ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Romance ⭐⭐⭐
