About the Adventure

“With Gede in their hearts and teeth in their mouths, these noble creatures keep us safe from the dangers in the dark.”   – Sister Imeria, Crocodile Caretaker in Training

The City of Threndall has an undead problem, and it constantly lurks beneath the surface in the complex maze of the city sewer system. Luckily, The Sisters of Gede have taken it upon themselves to manage the problem with a unique method: Giant Crocodiles. Collected as hatchlings, the nuns care for them until adulthood, and then release them into the sewers as guards. You discovered a sinister plot to poison the crocodiles, weakening the defenses against the undead in the process, by a team of cultists who worship Shune the Vile. Hanging in their ritual room was a tapestry emblazoned with the Hilbor Familiy crest. The nuns, grateful for your work, hope that you will continue to provide assistance in order to keep their dear crocodiles safe. It is time to delve deeper into the manor to find what ties still remain.

This short 2-3 session adventure will feature several returning characters of the 2 previous arcs, Delicious in Dungeon and The Crocodile Nuns of Gede. The adventure is great for beginners and experienced players who enjoy exploration and danger around every dark corner. This is the final arc of the story, which will begin on April 28th, running consecutive Monday evenings until complete.

What is ShadowDark?
An “Old School” RPG inspired dungeon delver that uses a lot of the same mechanics as D&D 5e, but simplified. It is super easy to learn (described by Dire Den on YouTube as “The Best Way to Learn D&D”) and focuses on exploration and finding treasure. Magic is rare but powerful, and the dark is incredibly dangerous, so don’t forget to bring enough torches!

Fantastic worldbuilding session

Rated 5.0 out of 5
May 7, 2024

I played a worldbuilding game with Jeremy, and it was fantastic. I was completely new to the game, and new to worldbuilding games in general. Jeremy lead the session expertly, giving enough detail and direction to get us started while allowing us players to brainstorm and be creative with our build. He was kind and patient, and he knew just when to step in if we needed help. He has a great sense of humor, there was a lot of laughter as we played. I’m looking forward to the next chance I’ll have to play one of his games again. Thanks Jeremy!

Jeremy is a great DM, and I look forward to every game with him. He engages the player and seems to be a genuine fan of the PCs, even as they smash headlong through a score like bulls in a china shop!

Jeremy knows how to build worlds, tell stories, and engage players. He is especially good at meeting players where they are at. If you want silliness, he’s your guy. If you want serious, high-stakes drama, he’s your guy. If you want long-term character growth, he’s your guy. Any type of game and any type of story, you won’t regret having Jeremy guide you through it.

Jeremy does a great job with Blades in the Dark! He has clearly planned ahead, has a brilliant mind for imagining scenarios that are appropriate to the roll of the dice, and makes each session fun for players.

I love Thursdays night Blades, and playing with Jeremy is a highlight!

"World-building" is too dry of a term, this deserves more... Epic Lore??

It’s hard to put into words how mesmerizing and inspiring this game session was. With zero “action” built into the game rules, we had so much happen in the world of the people we channeled as we told our interwoven, collaborative story. And this was such a success because of this DM’s hard work of supporting players’ imaginations (and lending his in a pinch), record-keeping, making sure that group dynamics worked well… I could honestly appreciate how intense it must have been to run such a storytelling-heavy game, yet as a player it felt effortless for me to be creative, and just to HAVE FUN
