About the adventure
As towns pop up all across the West, all of them promising trade and prosperity, Angel's Hallow seems to be your average place to set down roots and establish your new life in the crisp mountain air. People from all walks have had the same idea, and shops, bars, and homes have cropped up seemingly overnight. However, as Angel's Hallow grows and attracts folks and all their dreams, those with more nefarious intentions have also set their sights on the town. The Dusk Raiders, a gang of vampires, have made a habit of sundown snacking and twilight thievery, much to the displeasure of the humans and local vampires alike. A poster is hung up in the back of the Sheriff's office, offering a grand reward for anyone brave enough to face the Raiders. Do you think you have what it takes to bring them in, Undead or Alive?

About me
Hello and welcome! I’m Pierce and I’d like to be your GM! I hope your travels so far have been kind to you, and I hope you’re ready for another! Or, if this is your first adventure, I’m honored to be your guide as you take your first steps! A bit about me: - I’ve been a professional dungeon master for 2 years, teaching kids aged 8-15 the ins and outs and joys of D&D. - I’ve been a hobbyist GM for 6 years, running home games for friends and family across several systems. - I’m an artist (and former tattoo artist), and can/will provide hand drawn character portraits for you and your table! - My favorite TTRPG system is the World of Darkness Storyteller System, with Dungeons and Dragons as a close second. - I am an avid video gamer as well, and play a multitude of games on PC, and have a big soft spot in my heart for Rock Band. Things to expect at my table: - Focus on role playing, where combat is used for the story rather than to fill space, and exploration is up to you. - Stories catered to you and your character rather than rigid adherence to existing narratives. - Active interest in your character arc and goals, tell me where you wanna go and how! - A dedicated discord server for each game with active participation from me - An open-door policy for kind and friendly conversation, even about the hard stuff - Curated Spotify/Youtube playlists to encapsulate the vibes of your game - Mutual respect for every single person, regardless of any variables - Time taken for each and every person at the table to get their handle on the rules and gameplay, with any assistance needed freely given. If all of this sounds like something you’d like to be part of, I’d like to formally invite you to join me at the table! I’m excited to meet you and craft your next favorite adventure.

What Pierce brings to the table
With a diverse cast of Non-Player Characters, a twisting web of connections, and a highly responsive world, my main goal is immersion. I utilize character voices, ambient music and dedicated playlists, and focus on interpersonal relationships in my games. The rules in my game tend to be loose, and rolling for your actions in game will be an infrequent event.

How Pierce creates a safe table
An anonymous survey link will be provided in the discord to communicate your lines and veils to me and then the collective results will be shared with your party. In session 0, we will discuss the things that are going to be prevalent in our game, based on our game system and our setting. X, N, & O are privately messaged to me during the game, and my direct messages are always open for discussion about anything you may need.
