About the adventure

You've seen them. You've fought them. You know they're real. Monsters. Like a nightmare come to life, but you're awake. And against odds, you're still here, protecting the rest of humanity from the things that go bump in the night. You belong to a group of paranormal investigators (think Supernatural, Buffy or Scooby-Doo) in a horror-esque mystery game set in modern day. Mission to mission, you never know what you might be investigating. It's always different and sometimes it gets pretty weird.

About me

So, a bit about me. I'm a TTRPG content creator and GM. I have played many different games over the last 41 years and been a GM almost as long. I have always enjoyed story driven games and strive to include that in the games I run. I enjoy a mix of RP and tactical but can adapt based on the group. I run inclusive games where everyone is welcome. I'm newcomer friendly and am more than happy and willing to teach the game to somebody who has never played before. Safety tools are important to me as I want everybody to have a good time and a safe place to play. I don't use AI in my games or ads. Everything is human made.

Character creation

Creating your character

We will be using the playbooks during session 1 to create your characters as well as setting up the group playbook.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

A microphone and accounts to Roll20 and discord are all the players will really need. Some knowledge of the rules is helpful, but absolutely not needed.

What Gord (Two Drunk Dwarves) brings to the table

I will bring the compendium on Roll20 as well as a decent knowledge of the game rules. And fun mysteries to solve based on what your character do.

How Gord (Two Drunk Dwarves) creates a safe table
