About the adventure
A grim-dark, swashbuckling, backstabbing, dark magic, folk horror RPG. Rules light, heavy on everything else! Religious factions war for dominance in a land beset by monsters and demons. Ruthless mercenaries ply their bloody trade and bring misery to the common folk, while the rich and powerful brood in their castles and perform vile rituals and experiments. But amongst the chaos of war, plague and destruction, there is gold to be made, glory to be had, and even justice to be delivered. For a price that is...

About me
Hi, I’m Pip, a forever GM with 14 years of tabletop gaming under my belt. TTRPGs are my passion. I love story telling in all its forms and there’s nothing better than collaborating with other people and creating something we would never have made as individuals. When I’m not gaming I’m likely performing, reading, writing or actively prepping for whichever game comes next! Here’s what you can expect from me! ✧ Immersive Worlds ✧ I am an actor and voice actor so embodying characters and bringing my NPCs to life is second nature, I create a detailed and vivid world that everyone at the table gets to leave their mark on. ✧ Adapting to My Players ✧ This story is about you after all! My stories are always changed by what you bring to the table. I take the threads you drop, weave them into the story and create a world that we have all contributed to. ✧ Inclusivity ✧ Everyone is welcome regardless of background or orientation, whether you’re a complete novice or a veteran player, my table is a welcoming and friendly place 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ ✧ Stakes and Tension ✧ Whether it’s an unnerving investigation, a desperate escape or a pitched battle, I believe stakes and tension derive from investment in the world and your characters. It’s important to me to highlight every player at the table and give you your chance to shine, to encourage you to enjoy the crit fails as much as the successes, because what’s life without a little drama? At the end of the day GMing is my favourite thing to do and I bring that love of storytelling to every game I run.

What Pip brings to the table
My main focus will always be your characters! Leaning into the tropes and vibes of whatever setting we are in, roleplay, mysteries, combat and above all inclusivity and safety at the table. The rules are there to serve the story, add form to the chaos and create tension. However no rule is more important than the group having a good time!

How Pip creates a safe table
I'll be sending over a Lines and Veils document and we'll do Stars and Wishes post-game. X cards can be messaged to me directly, to the group or held up on video.
