About the adventure
Brave the high seas this Halloween with a Dracula-inspired Level 3 D&D 5E one-shot inspired by The Last Voyage of the Demeter! It was meant to be an easy voyage - a routine shipment crossing dark waters to London. The crew joked about the enormous wooden crates sealed with ancient symbols, until people began disappearing... The sea stretches endlessly in every direction. There is nowhere to run. Whatever is hunting the crew is trapped on the ship with you... and it's growing bolder each night. In this survival horror one-shot, your party plays passengers, sailors, or hired guards aboard a doomed vessel. Search the ship for clues, protect the remaining crew, and brave the cargo hold where an ancient evil sleeps during the day... and hunts when darkness falls. Can you survive the voyage to London... or will the ship arrive carrying only a monster?

About me
My name is Kelly (they/them) and I have been playing TTRPGs for over 10 years. I've GMed for a wide range of systems, including D&D, Powered By The Apocalypse, Vampire: The Masquerade, and more! Right now I am the Storyteller for Tabletop Tiddies (Tiddies By Night). I have sat at the table with some of the big names of the industry, including Matthew Mercer, B. Dave Walters, Erika Ishii, and Noura Ibrahim. My style is very malleable, adjusting to the wants of the players. I run a safe table that prioritizes consent and inclusion, and my games are always LGBT+ friendly. My favorite themes vary wildly, I love Horror, High Fantasy, Sci-fi, Modern, and Survival. I enjoy heavy RP focused games, but won't shy away from a good fight. I've run multi-stage epic level fights, as well as personal 1v1 duels on church roofs. I use Roll20 for maps, tokens, and audio (all ambiance, so you can mute if you have auditory concerns), and the players can use whatever they prefer for their sheets. I also have all of D&D Beyond unlocked for your use! We'll play over Zoom or Discord.
