About the adventure

It's 1920 and you're lost. In the wilderness beyond the cities you come across a strange tavern. What secrets does it hold? Can you survive your stay at The Silver Lantern? This campaign is perfect for new and experienced players, if you're a fan of classic cosmic horror then this is the place for you! In order to make it through the storm with your body and mind intact you will have to rely on your wits and instincts, as well as the goodwill of the other lost people who have found their way here (the other players). Will you do your best to help each other figure out what's going on, or will you conspire with the voices in your head...?

About me

Hail & well met! I'm Dafe AKA Dale, I'm 34 and I'm from Australia, Melbourne. I've been running games for about 16 years and at this point I would say it's a cornerstone of my life. I live and breathe TTRPGs! D&D and WoD are my go-to game lines, but I've run quite a few others, and I'm always excited to add another system to my repertoire! Currently I'm learning how to run Call of Cthulhu and next on the agenda is Daggerheart. I like to think of myself as pretty well read on lore for many, many games & franchises. I've run games based in the worlds of Avatar the last Airbender, World of Warcraft, League of Legends, Starcraft, Sailor Moon, Star Wars & Warhammer 40k and there are so many more worlds I'd love to explore! I mostly run games through Tabletop Simulator on Steam, but I'm also familiar with Roll20. Discord is a must have for voice comms and maybe more importantly, group memes!

Character creation

Creating your character

Players will have time to discuss their preferred play styles and builds with each other and myself during Session 0. Once Session 0 has happened, Players are welcome to finish creating their characters on their own if they'd like, but I'm also more then happy to help guide someone with the process in a one on one call. It's expected that everyone have their characters finished by the time we start Session 1. I am more then willing to help anyone struggling to make sure that we're ready to go! Players will follow the standard CoC 7e process when rolling for their character's ability scores. These rolls can be done in discord using a dicebot, or in real time on Tabletop Simulator. All official 7e books are allowed to be used for character creation. No homebrew please.
