About the adventure
The wilds of Fanewick were once a place of great abundance and peace—dangerous to those unfamiliar with the land, but a cornucopia to those who respected its ways. When Haven, the nearby kingdom, invaded the wilds and forced the land into eternal spring, a dangerous bloom known as the Witherwild took hold and now threatens the lives of all who live there. Your team of adventurers has been contacted by Haven's spymaster with an urgent task. Someone has developed a twisted plan to restore balance by further defiling the deity responsible for the Witherwild. You are tasked with hunting them down and stopping them before they can complete their horrific task. In a Witherwild campaign, you’ll play unlikely heroes from humble beginnings who are reckoning with their newfound duty to save the land from dangerous corruption. Touchstones: Princess Mononoke, The Legend of Zelda, The Dark Crystal, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

What Mike_d20 brings to the table
I see tabletop games as a great opportunity for catharsis. We're here for different reasons maybe to learn something about ourselves, turn flaws into strengths, explore new aspects of yourself, or just escape from your daily struggles for a while. Whatever that is for you, I want to help bring it out in this space and have a good time while we do it. I provide visual aids and detailed maps as needed. I also select music for each session that's played through discord so we can all jam to some appropriate tunes.
