About the adventure
First Timers Welcome! Pick up and Play. Learn as you go. Narrative Focused. Shared Narration Rights. Heavy Improv. Tragic Horror. Your characters will die. You must hope they'll survive. Ten days ago the world went dark. No sun, no stars, no satellites. Five days ago They came. Only two things are known about Them: They fear the light. They are coming for you. Dead Radio: No one's coming. Not anymore. The radio's gone dead, and you're on your own now. There's only one option left: Fort Victor. All the chatter on the radio seemed to imply that Fort Victor's the place to be. But you're a good hour out, over the river and through the woods - literally. Everyone else has packed up and left by now. The town hall's fallout shelter is slim pickings. Not enough food to last the next few days, not to mention the fact that the generator's been acting up. Maybe a few supplies could still be scavenged, but one thing's for sure. It's time to leave.

About me
Greetings adventurers! My name is LC, and I am an avid lover of board, video, and tabletop roleplaying games. My favorite aspect of being a Game Master is the same reason I got a Film degree and am writing my own book: I love a good story. Back in 2017, when I was first introduced to D&D, it was the unique storytelling potential of TTRPGs that hooked me in. The balance between a player's imagination, the mechanics of the game, and the roll of the dice is why I could never fudge a roll as a player or GM. I play fair because I believe it's this combination of factors conjoined with the personalities of players/characters that make these games perfect for lasting emotional investment, a powerful conduit for joy, and my ideal storytelling medium. Prior to joining StartPlaying, I was the Game Master of 2 weekly D&D campaigns and 1 monthly campaign. Each campaign was 2-3 years of incredible stories and fond memories shared by my players. In addition to those long-form games, over the past 7 years I've run more Oneshots than I can count in both 5.0e and 5.5e D&D. At this point, I know the core rules by heart, so I can focus on providing an enjoyable experience for everyone at the table without having to spend ages flipping through the rulebooks. My priority is to make sure everyone is having fun at the table, and we all walk away having had an experience to remember. So, whether you're a newbie, intermediate, or veteran of the world's greatest roleplaying game, I'm the DM for you.
