$25.00 / week
This is a three-shot mini-campaign which will play on January 17, 31, and February 28, 2024.
About the Adventure
Eberron Express is the first locomotive using the power of steam and magic to cross the Lhazaar Sea. From Khorvaire to Sarlona, anyone from the Five Nations and beyond was supposed to be able to travel across the world in a matter of days. But on its maiden voyage, it never reached its destination. At least… not all of it. A locomotive did arrive, but all of its passengers disappeared.
You’ll take on the role of heroic investigators. Explore the continents and between to solve the mystery of the missing express engine. Find clues, unravel strange coincidences, and maybe even traverse the planes as you aim to recover the lost people of Eberron.
How to Prepare
Upon registration, join the Discord link you’ll be sent via email. If you do not receive this link, message the GM on the rpgclub.net website.
Once within the Discord Server, the GM will be in communication with you and other players on additional ways you may want to prepare.
As you create your character (using a dndbeyond link provided via Discord), consider their backstory. At Level 12, they’ve probably encountered moderate threats to their life and cities. Feel free to write down a few sentences about your character’s background, and be sure to consider what flaws your character struggles with.
Who will like this game?
D&D players who are looking for a little mystery while keeping high-powered heroes will enjoy this game.
Players who are looking for a full-fledged story arc without the commitment to a full-length campaign will likely enjoy this game.
D&D Players who want to experience a world and culture different than the Forgotten Realms will probably enjoy this game.
Players who like creative thinking and enjoy semi-linear story structures will probably enjoy this game. Players who enjoy sandbox games but can remain focused on the primary task will probably also enjoy this game.
Players who merely want to dungeon crawl or fight hordes of monsters will probably not enjoy this very much.

EJ runs a great session and does a great job of explaining Call of Cthulhu in a way that helped make the game make sense and handed over autonomy very quickly!
Technology – smooth and effortless Discord to supplement theater of the mind and an optional ambient background player created a really casual yet immersive vibe.
Story/Characters – with an easy lead-in and a nice range of pre-made sheets, it was easy to dive in while still customizing characters just enough to give them enough personality to shine in a one shot. The gameplay is fast and smooth, keeping things progressing quickly with clear impact to the world based on our decisions.
EJ was very welcoming and friendly, and really runs a great one-shot. I’d highly recommend giving him a try if you want to learn a new system!
I’ve been playing in a campaign run by EJ for a few months now, and I have to say, it’s hard to imagine playing with another GM at this point. His high level of knowledge and expertise, combined with the mutually respectful (and silly!) environment he cultivates in every group makes for a consistently enjoyable gaming experience. He is so approachable, friendly, thoughtful, helpful, patient, *and* funny.
To put it simply: if you aren’t playing with EJ, you are missing out!
I played in a level 5 one shot with EJ and one other player, it was an excellent experience. The game had great storytelling details, an interactive world, dangerous combats, and player agency. What more could you want in D&D?
I was part of a recent campaign and EJ did a fantastic job. The storytelling was great, and the encounters were engaging. Excited to get back in and play again.
I had an amazing one shot last night and I had a lot of fun. A small group of people but it was still very entertaining and engaging. Answering any and all questions we had and made it very easy to play! Would def recommend!!!
