About the adventure
Beyond books in the class, the academy has camp nights and journeys into the dark woods of Albert Park. Across the lake is a full campsite of the mundane, blissfully ignorant of the situation here. But that doesn't concern you tonight. Your group's task is to find Maiden's Glade before sunrise and keep others on task. Remember, you will be graded as a group, and the Midnight Trail holds that name for a reason. A one shot for the developing Marybeth’s Academy for the Abnormally Gifted, where you will be playing accursed in a high school/college setting. We will use the Storypath system Curseborne, playing monsters bound by curses and exploring a modern day horror fantasy setting. So, touch base with your pack, grab your Riptide energy drink, and I will see you at the table.

About me
Hello, I am Matthew Pauze, and I have been a passionate Game Master since 1993. Throughout my years in the tabletop RPG and LARP communities, I have had the opportunity to run and participate in various systems. Currently, I reside in Canada with my family and partner. In 2019, with the rise of Covid-19, I shifted my focus to online platforms such as Discord and Roll20. I aim to introduce and highlight some of the lesser-known gems in the TTRPG community rather than just relying on popular systems like Dungeons and Dragons. In addition to my experience as a Game Master, I also have a strong passion for RPG design. I love exploring new and innovative ways to bring stories to life and create unique and memorable gaming experiences for my players. I am particularly interested in horror settings, as I find something extraordinary about creating an atmosphere of suspense and fear around the table. Another aspect of my work that I take great pride in is my ability to tailor my storytelling style to the needs and preferences of my player troupe. I understand that every group is unique and that I must adapt my approach to ensure everyone has a great time as a group. Whether adjusting the pace, adding more humor, or focusing on a particular story aspect, I always strive to create the ideal experience for my player's troupe. Please note that I do not generally offer my services for children's events. If I cannot accommodate a client, I will help get them in contact with someone who can. Note: Nazis, racists, sexists, transphobes, homophobes, and other bigots are explicitly prohibited from playing, reading, watching, or enjoying my games. In fact, I'd rather you avoided my games altogether. If you have to ask whether this statement is about you, it is.
