About the adventure
Welcome to the Realm of the Mammoth Lords! Lead your fellow hunter-gatherers of the Broken Tusk tribe across primordial lands, face off against dinosaurs and megafauna, and unearth the legendary past of your ancient people. The Broken Tusk’s patron deity is Sister Cinder, goddess of fire and wisdom. Long ago, when the world was shrouded in ash after a great cataclysm, Sister Cinder bestowed a divine light upon the Broken Tusk’s ancestors. The light enabled her followers to cut through the veil of darkness and help restore the world’s natural order, as well as to discern right from wrong. Those who call themselves “Broken Tusks” trace their lineage back thousands of years, though the banner of the Broken Tusk itself—which symbolizes the values of its followers— is fairly new. Six generations ago, a terrible evil crawled from the earth and threatened the land. To stave off this evil, a few rebellious members made a great sacrifice. The other members, feeling betrayed, took their banner with them, forcing the rebels who remained to make a new name and identity for themselves. To symbolize their perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds, the rebels called themselves the Broken Tusk. The schism that led to the creation of the Broken Tusk marked a tragic turning point for the following. Though they persevered, the Broken Tusk now number far fewer than they did in antiquity, and their place in the world isn’t as certain as it once was. Older Broken Tusks use the word ethgir to refer to the era before the schism and syorn to designate the present period. The Realm is a geographic region between the witch-ruled itch-ruled nation of Irrisen to the west and the demon-plagued Sarkoris Scar to the east lacks definable borders. The people of the Realm roam the broad span of tundra and mountains and consider the whole of the natural world their home.

About me
I run story-rich, player-driven adventures. You bring the characters—I’ll bring the world—we will make it ours together. My GM style is relaxed, story-rich, and collaborative. Whether you want kick-down-the-door dungeon crawls, exploration, westmarches, horror, or mysteries in the dark, I’ll tailor the game to your players. One-shots are brisk and punchy, delivering a complete adventure in a single session. Campaigns are dynamic and sandbox-style, shaped by your preferences, backstories, and play style. I’ve run many games and campaigns across a variety of systems: • D&D • Dungeon Crawl Classics • Mutant Crawl Classics • Call of Cthulhu • Traveller, • Top Secret • Shadowdark • Mörk, Cy_Borg, Pirate Borg My shelves are stacked with classics and modern gems alike—I’ve got you covered. If not, I can run it. I’ve run games for everything from bachelor parties to birthday surprises, corporate team-building events to reunions. My tables are welcoming, flexible, and focused on making sure everyone has fun. The best games are forged in shared challenges and the camaraderie that comes with them. Let’s tell some amazing stories together!

Critical Hitdecks and Critical Fail decks are used...the ones from Nord Games. Old school character creation can be used...if you do, you get benefits.

How Mark creates a safe table
Each player will be provided with a private Discord channel for the discussion of issues or concerns before, during and after sessions. The content warnings will vary depending on the game choice, but it is highly likely the game will have levels of violence involving player characters and non-player characters, with death always being a possibility. SAFETY TOOLS ・During Session 0 we will discuss Lines and Veils. ・A 10 minute break will occur roughly halfway through the session. Additional breaks are always available on request. ・Further details of all tool implementations are provided within the discord server. Feel free to ask any questions for clarification.
