About the adventure
The world of Akroma thrives on the balance between nature, magic, and the guidance of ancient spirits. For generations, these beings have granted power to the people, shaping civilization itself. But something is wrong. Spirits once revered as protectors are now turning violent, leaving destruction in their wake. The Hunter’s Guild, long trusted to keep the peace, grows more secretive by the day. Some whisper of a hidden corruption within its ranks, manipulating events from the shadows. As newly initiated Spirit Hunters, your mission is clear: Track and battle rampaging spirits before they destroy the land. Study their corruption to uncover its true source. Expose the Guild’s secrets and decide the future of Akroma. Will you restore balance, or will you fall prey to the forces that seek to control it?

Game style
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
