About us
Roll for initiative...
Moonshine Adventure Company was born after a weekend away playing Dungeons and Dragons with friends. Walking through the beautiful medieval city of York with stories of our party’s hijinks still fresh in our minds, we mused. Wouldn’t an adventure set in a real location be fun? A game about clerics in a ruined abbey? Pirates at the seaside? Woodland creatures in an ancient forest? Sci-fi in an abandoned bunker?
We both have young families and live in different cities, so finding the time to play TTRPGs in person is not easy. But when we do get together with our party, nothing else matters but whatever shenanigans we’re up to (and whatever chaos ensues). For us this time is sacred.
We want to share these two experiences: the wonder and immersion of an evocative location, together with the sanctuary of a holiday devoted to gaming.
Who we are
Sam Lockhouse
As a former civil servant and school teacher, Sam is a master of machiavellian plots, group dynamics and tedious admin.
Tom Lock
A board gamer, crossword setter and copywriter, Tom loves nothing more than a good puzzle with vicious wordplay.
Our values
Yes, and…
We take people at face value and empower them to play in their own way.
We adapt our holidays and our games to make them accessible. We use our Code of Conduct and our safety tools to make parties feel safe playing together.
Roles not rules
The games systems we use are there to support player actions, not limit them.
We love watching beginners learn and grow in confidence, and we relish the challenge when players unravel our carefully laid plans with their creativity!
Collaborative storytelling
We’re here to help people take part in and build compelling stories - not beat them at games.
We know people play TTRPGs for different reasons, so we bounce off players rather than pushing our own idea of fun.
Evil is for characters
We don’t tolerate hatred from players or GMs.
We work to make players and GMs from backgrounds underrepresented in the world of TTRPGs feel welcome at our tables. We are LGBTQ+ friendly. Our Code of Conduct sets out behaviour that we will not accept.
Commit to the bit
We don’t let our dignity get in the way of creating memorable characters and experiences for players to interact with.
