Adventure Overview
The year is 1923. Your mission is clear—accompany a renowned scholar through the mystical lands of Central and South Asia, perhaps uncovering ancient knowledge or securing your place in history. But as shadows lengthen and whispers of a looming apocalypse grow louder, you become entangled in dark rituals, ancient prophecies, and a terror that could consume the world. Every step you take edges you closer to a truth too terrible to comprehend—a truth that threatens not only your life but your very soul. This is Call of Cthulhu: The Children of Fear—an epic horror campaign inspired by local legends and the cosmic dread of the Mythos, spanning the mystical landscapes of Asia. Are you ready to face your destiny?
The Journey
Your adventure begins with a mysterious telegram, propelling your group on a journey across continents—from the bustling streets of Peking to the sacred peaks of Tibet. Initially, you investigate ancient legends, but soon find yourself battling forces that threaten reality itself. As you journey along the ancient Silk Road, each step reveals new dangers, secrets, and the looming specter of an impending apocalypse.

DM Jedi Mindauce is a true standout among DM's. I've been playing tabletop RPG's for over 10 years now, and I can honestly say that he is one of the best DM's I've ever played with. It's rare to find a DM who can improv, tell a compelling story, build an engaging and immersive world, AND do some killer voices and impressions! He's also a wizard when it comes to Foundry VTT. His maps are always new and exciting, and he has a wealth of assets and resources loaded into his Foundry VTT, which make rolling and level-ups feel seamless. I cannot recommend him highly enough to players of all backgrounds and experience!

Mindsaucy is not only an excellent DM at a technical and mechanical level-- knowing the rules, making fair rulings, keeping the game moving, and engaging players-- but their skills are FAR beyond just the mastery at the art of being a GM. They do excellent world building and story telling-- all enhanced with a highly customized, visually engaging and immersive implementation of Foundry. Every session I fall in love with his NPCs, which are all well crafted characters. They work to weave your PC's background into the story, too. They're always well prepared and has a variety of different encounters, no matter what pillar of DnD you like best. Also super kind and very patient with a player like me who does not play much 5e and has never used a VTT. Definitely recommend them for a one-shot or whole campaign!

I've been playing with the Jedi for several months now and the games are always fun. There's a decent challenge, but you still get to feel powerful. Great guy and great fun!

I never had a professional D&D experience before DM Jedi Mindsauce. Let me just say that he sets a high bar. He offers great storytelling, atmosphere, characters, voice acting, and an open world approach that gives players a lot of freedom. I have a feeling I'll be gaming with this DM for a long time given the terrific experience he offers!

As a first time DnD player, I had very little knowledge of what to expect along with all the rules/nuances of the game. Jedi Mindsauce has made the whole experience easy to understand and has been tremendously helpful providing guidance and leeway to a player who is just getting his feet wet. I've thoroughly enjoyed my experience and am looking forward to all the other campaigns & one-shots I will play in the future thanks to Jedi Mindsauce's introduction to this universe.

TLDR... COMPLETE PACKAGE - AWESOME! As the title indicates, DJ Jedi Mindsauce has proven to be one of the BEST GMs that I’ve had in my 40+ years of playing Tabletop RPGs! I myself have been a game designer for nearly 30 years so believe me when I say that I have an extremely “high bar”, and Jedi has lived up to my expectations. Between the virtual tabletop that he provides, as well as his host of characters/voices that he's created for his worlds, he has given us one of the most "complete" experiences that I've ever had while gaming. HE CLEARLY LOVES WHAT HE DOES! He bas been a great GM so far and I have no intention of finding another one anytime soon.
--- If you are looking to get into gaming, or just looking for your next adventure, I urge you to read more about my experience with him so far...
My friends and I have been playing with him for close to 6 months now and his well thought out, immersive world(s) never cease to impressed me. I absolutely love his virtual tabletop solution (accessible via any browser so no need to “download X or Y to get started”), along with all of the various maps and other information he has plugged into it. (Players can recall everything they’ve seen during the game so far, maps, images, letters/documentation they find throughout the game, a list of important NPCs you’ve encountered, it’s truly impressive.) As for my group, a few of my friends were new to D&D and Jedi was more than patient with everyone in the group, helped get everyone started, and continues to be a patient teacher as we have been evolving our characters as we level. (He has even responded to private messages between sessions as time permits.) He clearly thinks through what us players “might try” because he always has a great response (always in character), to everything we throw at him. He has given us an incredible amount of freedom to push the narrative where we'd like (as opposed to "sticking to a specific script" like many GMs), yet our story has continued to progress at an even clip. He is more than willing to work with the group and goes out of his way to make everyone in the party feel like the "heroes" that TTRPGs have always given us the platform to be. On top of this, he clearly has a great sense on how to balance combat encounters that cater both to the group's composition (our specific classes) and the number of players. (Even when we have the occasional group member missing here and there.)
The bottom line is that If you give this guy a chance, I guarantee there's a strong likelihood that you will have found your new GM for the foreseeable future. I couldn't be happier that we chose to go with him as our GM, he's absolutely fantastic!
