About me
Garrett is a podcast host, of Threat Detected, Threats From Gallifrey and the long-running One Ring AP Threats From Mirkwood. He has written for D&D, Paranoia and Savage Worlds. His games are pulpy with a good amount of roleplaying. If you like jumping out of a moving vehicle onto a horse and hitting the rider with a flaming golf club, you've found the perfect gamemaster. I run for teenagers plus age-wise. I like gaming with kids, but I prefer the older age demographics to avoid the distractions that come with an open age range. I've proven myself to be amongst the best Dungeon Masters in the country by being selected by Baldman Games to repeatedly be selected to run the coveted DDXP slots at GenCon, which are reserved only for the best Dungeon Masters to provide an extraordinary experience for the players.

Creating your character
Because this is a one-shot, I’ve taken the liberty of building a set of pregens for you. This will allow for more time spent gaming, and less time rolling on tables building your character. You will find these are higher level characters offering more options for exciting play. Of course, the challenges will reflect this.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Ahoy, landlubbers. You will get a message from me telling the discord and roll20 links. Log into those links once you get them. Then, go to the Journal in roll20 and skim through the pregens. Find the character you most want to play. When you’ve made a choice, go to the discord, to the channel that matches your game date and post your character choice. First post, first gets to select their character. Then, get your set of polyhedral dice ready, pour yourself some grog and get ready for pirate shenanigans!
What Garrett brings to the table
I will provide 6 pregens, a wild tale, music and a full vtt setup, including tokens of the NPCs made from images of celebrities cast into our NPC roles.
