Nomads of the Multiverse

Welcome to Merston. Population: who cares? It’s a town like any other — quiet streets, strip malls, Friday night football. The kind of place nobody notices, and that’s just how most people like it.

But under the pumpkin-spice and marching band parades, something else is humming. A haunting is brushed off as carbon monoxide poisoning, a creature hunting in the local playground is explained away as a rabid dog, and the nearby nature preserve… well, you don’t want to know what’s buzzing out there.

Most towns have secrets. Merston’s secrets bite. And tonight, those secrets are waking up.

The Wayward Daughter | A "Pirate Borg" Actual Play

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 20:00:00 -0400

The Dark Caribbean is a place of splendor and doom. Once-bright colonies now crumble under storms that never cease. The dead don’t stay buried here; barnacled corpses drag themselves from the surf, their empty eyes fixed on the living.

This is no party of heroes. This is a ragged crew aboard a battered sloop, hungry for coin and treasure. There is no glory to their names, only debts, bad luck, and the faint stench of desperation.

But in the Dark Caribbean, not all who sail these waters are what they seem.

The Proof In the Pudding | A Brindlewood Bay One Shot

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 20:00:00 -0400

The town of Brindlewood Bay is not unlike any other small, New England coastal town - except, of course, for all the murders.

But that luck, it seems, has just run out…
