DMs After Dark

Halloween One-Shot | Return to Pine Island

For Halloween 2023, the DMs return to our original summer camp horror game, this time led by Christian. Our characters are counselors at an *awful* re-education camp which is presently staffed by a skeleton crew following a horrible event which appears to have awakened something on the grounds that was best left undisturbed...
 
Content Warnings: Mention of suicide, drowning, burning, pretty much child abuse, sharting, awful baking advice (then good baking advice), and weird scripture quoting

It Takes Two To [Tangled Blessings] | Character Creation

Jess & Kent sit down to make their characters and start a new two-player series exploring Blackroot Academy in Cassi Mothwin's dark-academia flavored RPG Tangled Blessings. Based on the tarot-style resolution in Samantha Leigh's Anamnesis (see Rene's solo playthrough here), this game can be played solo or as two players pitted against one another as rivals at the highly selective magic school.
 
Meet Angelica & Elias, two new mages about to begin an intertwined adventure where only one will be declared the strongest at the end of their fourth year. Who will it be, and what history will come back to factor into their final competition?
 
Also, thank you and shout out to friend of the DMs K. Parr, who not only provided the tarot card deck Jess & Kent are using for the game, but recorded the introductory letter from the headmaster as well!
