About the adventure

In this adventure, the characters return to Strixhaven University as second-year students. As the year gets underway, the characters’ peers urge them to form a team and compete in a high-profile game of Mage Tower. They’ll investigate the odd behavior of the magical creatures at the game’s center while they prepare for the big game. And throughout the year, nefarious forces strew havoc across the campus—right up to the characters’ fateful game day at Strixhaven Stadium. Will the characters unveil and thwart the threats before something terrible befalls the event?

About me

Hi, my online buddies call me Eli! I'd like to be your GM. I go by they/he pronouns. I'm happy you're here and interested in the stories that I have to tell. I’ve been GMing since 2018, specializing in D&D 5e 2014, PbtA, and WoD games on Roll20 and in person. I’ve played and/or run D&D 5e, Werewolf the Apocalypse, Hunter the Reckoning, Vampire the Masquerade, Thirsty Sword Lesbians, Monsterhearts, Monster of the Week, Demigods, Legend in the Mists, and Upriver Downriver. I run all of my games with as close to a home game vibe as possible, focusing on safety and group cohesion. Rule of Cool is the name of the game at my tables, but Rules as Written is not discarded. Both will be taken into account for quality of life purposes. Most of my games run for 2-3 hours, which is what my day job allows for. I may run longer games if I can turn this into a more full time venture, but for now I’m typically running games M-F 8pm-10pm Eastern Time. The games are paced appropriately but please slow me down if you need me to. 2 hours is fun and snappy, but I don’t want anyone to feel overwhelmed by the time crunch. All of my session 0's are free. That's where you decide if the game and the group are for you, so don't hold back on any questions or concerns. I also design games! I wrote a TTRPG called Final Girl and I’ve released a few modules for it as well. I occasionally run free or discounted games for Final Girl, so keep an eye out for that! I've also published a one page TTRPG called Cat Scratch, Cat Nap. I hope to eventually publish a Locked Tomb TTRPG as well. Expect an inclusive, safety-forward table where we’re here to have fun in whatever form that takes. LGBTQ+ and allies welcome. If none of the games available appeal to you, please reach out! I'd love to craft a personal experience for you and your friends.
