About the adventure
Phareflaw Lighthouse went dark during Deep Winter. This is unacceptable. Saltport relies on its protection to guide the regular shipments of chum and salvage that feed her citizens and fuel their ravenous factories. Without Phareflaw’s guidance, many ships will smash to pieces along the treacherous coastal cliffs. The Saltport Council has tasked you and the other Delvers of the Dowsing Odd crew with restoring Phareflaw's lighty before the end of Spring. Time without Tide is described by its Quickstart guide as 'mirth and misery' in a Victoria Era setting experiencing the twilight of an Age of Decadance. The moon has fallen from the sky and The Unknown swallows people whole outside the warding light of lanterns. This scenario will see you and your fellow players learning this d6 based system using pre-made Delvers on their first mission as crew!

About me
Hello, my name is Mikey! I’m a passionate geek that loves Dungeons and Dragons! I’ve been playing for a little more than 5 years with most of that serving as the DM for my own home-brew campaign. At my table, I prefer a relaxed approach to rules to not only allow easy entry for new players but to allow more room for imaginative problem solving and awesome combat moments. My favorite thing about D&D is sharing the hobby with others. This game has brought me so many fun memories, good friends, and creativity and I want to share that with others.
