About the adventure

In the quiet village of Elden Hollow, nestled between a dense forest and a serene lake, something unnatural has appeared. One night, a blinding blue flash split the sky—when the light faded, a temple stood where none had existed before. Its watchful stone eyes loom over the town, unblinking, silent, ancient. The bravest villagers attempted to explore its halls. Some never returned. Those who did emerged blind and broken, ranting about huge insects, whispering voices, and hundreds of staring eyes. Fear grips the town. The leaders plead for help. Someone must unravel the mystery before more are lost. In this level 5 adventure, you are experienced but unprepared for what awaits beyond the temple’s threshold. The dangers inside are not of this world, and survival will require more than just steel and spells. You must uncover the truth. You must face what watches in the dark. And most importantly, you must not look away.

About me

Hi! My name is Clay and I'd love to GM your game! I’ve been running 5e since 2017 and have been playing since 2016. I GM an IRL game and do one-shots with friends when scheduling allows but that's not often enough. I own several games and love to try out new games.

I just want to take a moment to say how much I’ve truly enjoyed the Old Margrove campaign so far, it’s honestly one of my favorite games I’ve ever played. The worldbuilding has been immersive, rich, and eerie in all the right ways. Every session feels like peeling back a new layer of some ancient, living mystery. Whether we’re facing bramble beasts, negotiating with fey emissaries, or navigating twisting ruins, there’s always something fresh and unexpected around the corner. One of the standout strengths of this campaign is the atmosphere the DM creates. The use of thematic music really elevates the mood sometimes I don’t even realize how tense or enchanted I’ve become until the music shifts and everything clicks. And the NPC voices? Top-tier. Each one feels distinct and memorable. Truly grateful for the effort and creativity that’s gone into this. Can’t wait to see where the forest leads next!

I just have to say this has been such a good experience: great atmosphere, chill vibes, and great storytelling. Clay is a fantastic GM for both old and new players alike, so if you're looking for a great new adventure with amazing world-building, I highly recommend.

This was my very first game of Dungeons and Dragons, and it was amazing! Our GM was a wonderful storyteller, and I truly wished our game could last more sessions. I definitely recommend him for your next adventure.

I played a one-shot with GM Clay. Had a lot of fun doing a pirate adventure. Strongly recommend checking out one of his games. The game was filled with adventure and a little roleplay. Beginner and Veteran friendly.
