About the adventure
Seek, Salvage, Survive. The gods are dead. Aberrations roam the dark ruins of the world. Civilization hangs by a thread. The land needs Heroes, but until some fool takes up that title you’ll have to do. It’s a thankless job, and most get killed before they get rich. If it’s fame you want, look elsewhere, for it requires blood and ritual, often claimed from the monsters you slay. When the Inquisition comes, and mark me, they will, they won’t see the good you’ve done, only the corruption of the unholy arcane. This is a series of adventures set in the Grim Hollow world of Etharis, using both Ghostfire Gaming's Lairs of Etharis and MCDM's Where Evil Lives to provide challenging combats as well as a homebrew story with plenty of roleplaying opportunities. Each adventure takes the players on a monster hunt drawn from every corner of horror and dark fantasy: gothic intrigue, existential dread, gruesome fairy tales, slasher horror, undead hordes, body horror, killer dolls, and so much more. Explore horror fantasy adventures designed to take players from levels 1-20. Hunt new horror-themed monsters and salvage their remains to craft new magic items. New character subclasses, new spells, new magic items!

About me
I have come here to chew bubble gum and crush campaigns. And I'm all out of bubble gum! I love both roleplay and combat and tailor the ratio to the needs of the table. I've run a combat and exploration focused Tomb of Annihilation campaign as well as a roleplay heavy and whimsical Wild Beyond the Witchlight. I can be funny, silly, serious, or weird, and I'm not afraid to improvise and follow the needs of players, even if that means going off the rails or side-questing on a whim. I've been running games on Startplaying for over 3 years and running home campaigns over 30 years. I have a ton of experience and I often bring my own stories, art, and maps to the table. Current Campaigns on Startplaying: Monday 10am EST - Crooked Moon Monday 2pm EST - One-shots Tuesday 10am EST - Vecna: Eve of Ruin Tuesday 3pm EST - Call of the Netherdeep Wednesday 10am EST - Call of the Netherdeep Wednesday 2pm EST - Hoard of the Dragon Queen Thursday 7pm EST - Vecna: Eve of Ruin Friday 2pm EST - Call of the Netherdeep Completed Campaigns on Startplaying: Tomb of Annihilation Storm King’s Thunder Candlekeep (2x) Wild Beyond the Witchlight (3x) Spelljammer: Light of Xaryxis (3x) Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel (2x) Keys from the Golden Vault Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen (x2) Book of Many Things (Level 1-11) Adventure Academy (Level 1-10 homebrew) Planescape: Turn of Fortune’s Wheel x2 Curse of Strahd Liveplay Streams: Wild Beyond the Witchlight https://youtu.be/N_fFk-FZcE0?si=2z7wg4Ow6p8zPYN- Curse of Strahd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcJAqFFseKg&t=71s
