About the adventure
You and others are all the far flung descendants of the Harrow family, a once proud noble lineage fallen on hard times. Summoned back to your ancestral home on the death of the last Harrow to actually live in the manor, you are told to come and take possession of your inheritance, your birthright. Delve deep into the ruins of this grand estate, and find out how and why the Harrow family fell from grace . . . and what horrors lie hidden on the island it inhabits. Inspired by games such as Darkest Dungeon and gothic fiction like the Fall of the House of Usher. the Heirs of Harrow House is an expedition into eldritch horror and dark fantasy. The heroes, such as they are, are flawed, but wield faith, flintlocks, and blades to defeat whatever lurks in the darkness. Will they, or their sanity, survive?

About me
I’m a military veteran (a long time ago), a father of several wonderful children, and an amateur mythologist, poet, and philosopher. I've been playing and running games for 42 years, a partial list of which is on my home page. I’m here to run games, and make that as easy and fulfilling as possible. Wanna see what I bring to the table? https://www.ofgodsandgamemasters.com/ and https://www.youtube.com/@OfGodsandGamemasters for my written work, my voice work, and my actual plays. I can run nearly any game, and that flexibility and wide knowledge improves all my games. I build deep, intense, and well-realized worlds, but my games and stories are player and player character driven and focused. I'll be glad to work with your table to create a custom setting and adventures that are absolutely bespoke and tailored to you!

Creating your character
We'll cover character creation in session 0 so everyone can coordinate, but the characters will be built with 250 points, be human, and any non faith based magic is inherently corruptive in the setting.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you need is a mic and preferably a webcam. I'll provide the rest, up to and including needed books, character generation, and die rollers on my Discord.
What Jack (Of Gods and Gamemasters) brings to the table
I bring a dark imagination, 42 years of experience, evocative characters and voices, and while the setting and campaign are dark and horrific, i still also allow for the rule of cool where it fits.
