Shadowdark RPG: Umberlee Sea (one-off)

A rules-light, Indie award-winning d20 fantasy. Fast, dangerous, and simple mechanics. In a homebrew fantasy adventure, we set sail across the perilous ocean, escorting and transporting cargo from the wealthy ports of Martima to the southern coast of the dreadful Viper’s Tongue.

Your Game Master, David Carmichael, focuses on collaboration, player agency, and cinematic storytelling. We’re here to have a great time, make exciting choices, and hopefully survive.

Expect elements of mysterious sleuthing, sword and sorcery, cosmic horror, and low HP. Newcomers and veteran players are welcome! Pre-generated Shadowdark characters will be available. Players only need to bring pencils, paper, and dice—maybe two sets in case some become cursed! (d20, d12, d10, d8, d6, d4). Dice will also be available for purchase during the game if needed.

We’ll review the basic rules during the first 15–30 minutes. If players would like to learn more about the system, a free player quickstart guide is available on DriveThruRPG.
