About the adventure

Setting: This one-shot is about making the best of a horrible situation; Your character will die sooner or later. The game is set in a Napoleonic era with fantasy elements. If you like horror and Lovecraftian themes then this is the game for you. There will be a survival aspect to the game as foraging for food and crafting basic supplies will mean life or death. Exploration will be dangerous but rewarding. Plot Hook: Your characters have marooned on a mysterious isle. Soon you realize it would have been better to die with the rest. Each of you has your reasons to have boarded the ship, some of you might have been marines, others scientists and explorers, or perhaps spies and convicts stowed aboard. Will you survive long enough to piece together what's going on?

How to prepare

-It is crucial to have a good microphone because it will ruin the experience for everyone else if you don't, especially in a game about establishing consistency. -You will create a character, and at your request, I will give you lore so that you can better immerse yourself. The Standard array will be used to generate stats. - You may roll physical dice during play if you wish.

What I provide

I will provide everything I can in order to immerse you into the game. That being, background music and sound effects, battle maps and images.

Gameplay details

This game is centered around horror, as such, there will be scenes of graphic nature depicting wretched things. Gore and psychological horror will follow your characters until the very end. I will add you to a discord group where we can talk about the game and what you can expect in more detail. We will be playing through discord voice chat and using theatre of the mind/owlbear rodeo for everything else.

How will character creation work

Player Options: You may play any non-monstrous or flying race as it takes away from the horror elements of the game. Classes are not restricted, however, fighters are encouraged with a free feat. (Specifically to fit the theme better). Level: Your characters will start the adventure at level 3. As long as you follow the provided guidelines, you are free to create your character to your liking. Of course, keep in mind that the character will surely die so don't get caught up in the minor details. The point is to have fun in a game where you have very little control.
