'The branches of the Astral Corridor weave through time and space, echoing fractured realities once thought forgotten. The archivists of the Black Archives work tirelessly to catalogue these tales, reaching into the furthest depths of the corridor to glimpse what can never be.’

Black Archives is a TTRPG story spotlight event, as our house GMs weave tales from across the multiverse. These original stories are self-contained and setting-agnostic, intended for both experienced and newer players. We'll be featuring a variety of indie TTRPG systems alongside our regular D&D5E offerings! 

Each session will feature it's own unique system and requirements, so be sure to read the full event description before ordering. 

Tonight, the tales you can expect to uncover are: 

DOCTOR CRIPPEN'S TIMESHARE HOLIDAY CAMP (HOUSE GM: MAXIM) 

SYSTEM: D&D5E (2024) 
THE STORY: “Welcome to Doctor Crippen’s Timeshare Holiday Camp, where adventurers come for a bit of rest and relaxation. Treat yourself to a poolside cocktail, a walk through the botanical gardens, or even spend an afternoon unwinding in our homeopathic spa!
“Sun! Sea! Strychnine!”
You’re adventurers having some time off at your holiday villa at a holiday camp by the coast. It seems idyllic, an oasis of calm. But what monstrous darkness lurks beneath the shiny veneer of your vacation? Find out in… Doctor Crippen’s Timeshare Holiday Camp!

PRE-GENS PROVIDED?: Players will need a level 6 character and be confident in playing at that level.
CONTENT WARNINGS: Drowning, sharks, gore, corpses, mind control, graphic imagery.

WELCOME TO LAKE GARUDA (HOUSE GM: PHIL) 

SYSTEM: Kids On Bikes
THE STORY: Most residents of Lake Garuda are unaware of the strangeness that exists just beneath the surface and between the cracks of their quaint lakeside town. But the kids of Lake Garuda know better. Hop on your bike, meet up with your friends and explore the strange little corners in the town you call home. Create and investigate rumors in your own 1980's supernatural adventure with the Kids On Bikes system.

PRE-GENS PROVIDED?: Character sheets and 'troupes' will be provided to kickstart character creation during the game.

CONTENT WARNINGS: Cults, demonic possession, cryptids, drowning, abduction
