🥗 THE HUNGER BELOW 🍔 - A Daggerheart Campaign (Session 0 Free)
When a village’s monster-luring system fails, local heroes delve into deep caverns to fix it—facing beasts, mysteries, and culinary chaos below!
About the adventure
The rustic, peaceful village of Elmore sits atop the Plover Caves, a labyrinthine system of caverns full of dangerous and delectable creatures. When the powerful magic keeping the villagers safe begins to fail, the bravest among them must descend into the caves to save the day. In a Beast Feast campaign, you’ll play everyday heroes diving into the Plover Caves to reignite the magic lure that lies in its depths—and cook up delicious meals. Welcome to a culinary world of zoophagous delight, where the beasts you fight become the food you eat!

About me
Hello! I'm Josh! I'm relatively new to the TTRPG space, but I've found a passion for running games. I've learned that TTRPGs are a place where you can interact with like-minded and collaborative people in the fantasy world of our creation. The friends and experiences forged along the journey are truly special. Hopefully, I'll run a game and get to know you! Even though I've only been playing and running Dungeons & Dragons for over 2 years, I'm currently running several games for different groups of friends. I have a few newer games running whenever friends are available, but I've run over 200+ sessions in the last two years and learned a lot. I've also run lots of Daggerheart and now learning about the Starfinder 2e/Pathfinder 2e world! On top of that, I've also played in a few campaigns, namely Call of the Netherdeep (twice), and I've finished a Critical Role Sandbox campaign. There, I learned what players value the most, and I strive to add it to my home games whenever possible. I'm a big fan of Critical Role and D20, but I don't usually have time to watch everything.

Josh is a fantastic GM and who puts maximum effort into creating an immersive experience with great NPC voices, changing background music, and even dynamic world maps on owlbear. I am currently in a beast feast Daggerheart game with heavy and comical RP and Josh is able to improvise and incorporate character backstory into the game along with pulling unique interactions with carefully curated fantasy art. My favorite interaction so far was betting on mole racing and rolling die in a mini game style to see which mole weaved through a maze the fastest. Congratulations Old Stumpy on your first victory ever, I personally would never have bet on a mole missing a leg. Combat is fun and spontaneous, our party was in the middle of crossing a Broken bridge and after a couple members crossed we got ambushed. Let’s just say a flicker fly got drop kicked mid air over a 100 foot cavern. Josh is also very organized on discord with multiple channels for character set up, session updates, chats, and even a journal section to post any notes taken during play I would heavily recommend booking a session with this man, you will have a great time. 5/5 stars
Insanely Nice, Competent, and accommodating! He fit with our group instantly and was cracking fun jokes and playing along all the while keeping the story serious and progressing it! But allowed lots of room for little RP moments and overall super enjoyable! If you want someone who can fit into any group super easily and help guide you through the mechanics, Eratheon is the DM to pick!
Super fun GM!!! Eratheon is incredibly funny and clever in his games. The characters were all super fun AND he's amazing with voices!!! A very respectful GM that focuses on player fun while helping us learn a completely new system. Would highly recommend!! Eratheon is super creative with his stories and is just extremely fun to play with!! Would love to play even more games with him!!!
Eratheon did a good job introducing a group of practical first comers to Daggerheart. He patiently described the system mechanics, answering any questions the group had before letting us embark on a one-shot adventure. He gave the players room to be creative and build a story together. He had great maps and ambient music that made the game immersive. Even though the mechanics of Daggerheart can lend themselves to "spotlight" hoggers, he made sure to share the spotlight and call upon the players that had not acted in a while, showing great bookkeeping skills and making sure that everyone was involved.
Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation can be done on Demiplane. After joining the discord, I can provide a link to share the content there. We will go through it with everyone during Session 0 and talk about rules, themes, tones and other further details. Before Session 0, please have an idea of what kind of character you'd like to play in this campaign. I can guide you every step of the way, so I welcome new players!
Our Beast Feast party consists of players at Level 1: - Clank Bard - Simiah Wizard - Ribbet Warrior
