About the adventure

Following a series of earthquakes and the disappearance of almost every magic scholar and alchemical researcher. A new landmass emerged off the coast of Quinbon and the Prime Councillor has called for adventurers to venture to the mysterious land to meet with any who live there discovering if they might prove to be a valuable ally. You join a small group heading to the island but as you arrive at the port there seems to be a lack of enthusiasm from most of the group but the captain urges everyone to board as the tide is high and time is wasting. Days pass by and as the boat nears the island a fog creeps in. Breathing it in, those on board fall asleep and awaken to the sound of seagulls as they find themselves at the edge of a pier with no memory as to how they got there and a small town at the top of the cliff seems to be the only feature around not heavily concealed by the mist. What lies ahead no one knows but a mystery lies before those willing to take a step into the unknown even as events unfold that may spell doom for not just the party but the world. Disclaimer: this campaign is supported by the human first initiative meaning that AI "art" is not allowed in any form, if players cannot find anything for a token that fits then they can request that something be made for them free of charge within reason.

About me

Yes I run the Red Dwarf roleplaying game. Experienced DM who has too much writing and not enough players as I tend to create a lot of lore which can be adapted for any player to fit ideas they may have. I can run a wide range of games and campaigns and discuss with players about what they would like to do and try to match both my style and what they enjoy. I am an Anti AI GM as the devastation to the industry by job replacement and the ethical problems with it are concerns
