About the adventure
For a week, a tall cloaked figure has been lurking around the small farming village of Oakdale at night. Folks suspect he is the one who stole tools and farming implements from peoples' barns. Yesterday, little Gailey Teabridge went into the fields near the Fae Ghillie forest to gather flowers and never returned. The townsfolk are terrified! Can you and your fellow adventurers solve the mystery of the missing child and ensure the safety of the good people of Oakdale? You will talk to witnesses, search for clues, follow the trail where it leads. Along the way, you may fight strange monsters, solve magical puzzles, and, with any luck, thwart the evil scheme before it’s too late! This fey horror adventure will span 3, two-hour game sessions. Perfect for learning to play or just trying out a different adventure. Premade characters are available. Beginners welcome!

About me
I have over ten years of experience performing with improv on stage and have been playing and running TTRPGs since middle school. I have a deep and abiding love for improv and collective story making as well as game design, voice acting, and sharing the joy my geeky passions. I welcome players of all experience and love teaching new folks how to play. In my games, you’ll meet multidimensional NPCS with distinct voices and a world that changes in response to your character’s actions. Your backstory will be woven into the narrative as I customize the adventure to suit the characters’ journey. In classic campaigns, you will get the best of a time-tested module while experiencing a story that is uniquely your own. As a GM, I present the characters with difficult challenges while cheering on the players. You will join in a “writers’ room” style of play with collaborative lore building as well as delve into dramatic scenes where we play to find out what happens. I lean on the dice decide our fate so we can all be surprised by where the story takes us.

Creating your character
You can choose from one of the premade, 3rd-level characters or create on of your own. Character Creation Guidelines: ⚔ Standard Array or Point Buy for Ability Scores ⚔ Fixed for Hit Point Type ⚔ Choose 'Standard Equipment' ⚔ No Homebrew content (other than that provided in the game). Familiarity with the Dungeons and Dragons 5e System is helpful, but not at all required. I offer a safe, judgment-free space where new players can jump in and learn without pressure, backed by guidance at every step.
