About the adventure
The shrill whistle of the Ghostlight Express calls to you, lost soul-- and we await your boarding. Wherever in the realms you have once lived, you are pulled away along the iron locomotive of a ghastly train, and your destination is one between the veil of life and death. Druskenvald, a crescent-shaped continent that holds thirteen distinct yet isolated provinces-- is your new home now. Not every soul that boards the train knows who they are, but they are all heading on a one way trip through the Shroud. Uncover who in this unknown place of eternal night-- and survive what the dark has in store for you.

About me
Hi! Willow, a storyteller and Game Master with about ten years of dice rolling, world building, and plot twisting experience. Most of which has been Play-by-Post. I run a wide variety of systems! Dungeons & Dragons, Godbound, Vampire: The Masquerade, other World of Darkness titles, City of Mist, and more; because I love matching the right game to the right group. I’m online and available 12+ hours a day through discord, which means I’m flexible, responsive, and ready to support you between sessions. My biggest passion as a DM is investing in my players’ stories: taking your ideas, characters, and wild theories and turning them into unforgettable adventures we build together. Whether you want high drama, fantastical vibes, gritty horror, or chaotic fun, I tailor each campaign to what excites you. When I’m not running games, you’ll probably find me absorbing inspiration from other media or painting in my spare time! Every game I run is crafted with intensive care, creativity, and a genuine love for collaborative storytelling. If you’re looking for a DM who listens, adapts, and brings your imagination to life, I’d love to play with you! Thank you for considerations, and may all your rolls be ever in your favor!

Creating your character
I have the player options book to provide additional races and backgrounds included in the material! Starting level usually begins with 1-3 (to be decided as a group), and character creation will be done together/as needed! Do not read the module/DM book itself, please! I will provide everything a player needs! Stats will be rolled (given 3 rolling opportunities) Session 0 will be held a day before game start Game will begin once enough seats have been filled
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you require is a connection to the internet, a device to write with, and your wonderful self!
What Sleepy brings to the table
Player resources for character creation, rolling bots (if needed), playlists, maps and more! I run story driven games-- where your choices genuinely matter. Expect a healthy balance of immersive roleplay, meaningful combat, exploration, and mystery, with plenty of opportunities for your character's backstory! Goals and relationships become part of the larger narrative. I love rewarding creative problem solving-- and giving players the freedom to approach challenges however they see fit.
Homebrew rules
Drinking potions are bonuses actions! As per Druskenvald's rules within the module-- darkvision does NOT work in this setting, and all races are required to sleep!
