About the adventure
Third Age, 2956 Lands of Eriador is under the presence of shadows. New rumors spread in every couple of days. Protectors of the realm looking for ways to fight against it. Balin, son of Fundin, found a way that could be risky yet helpful. There is an artifact, buried deep into Khazad-dûm, that can banish the shadow. It may not be a permanent solution, but it could be a game-changer. A small and brave group needs to be gathered. And travel far into the gaze of the Abyss. They should delve deeper into Moria. They should possess the Heart of Durin. They should survive and bring it back to the council. The Heart should change the balance of everything. Moria: The Dark Descent is a custom sandbox adventure for The One Ring 2nd Edition. It's open for everyone who is brave enough to take their steps into the depths of Moria. Take your seat, draw your swords, bows and ax, and survive through the shadow!

About me
Hello everyone! It's Shatargat! I'm a gamemaster with Turkish nationality, who runs his games in English since mid 2022. I'm a game designer and scenario author, and I mostly use these skills on my games. My main genre in everything is horror. I really like horror, occultism, supernatural stuff, mystery and other dark themes as well. I personally prefer heavy and extreme touches on the games, but I know that I can meet people on the common ground, and bring fun into these dark games. I'm also a content creator in my native language. And companies like Chaosium Inc., Helmgast, Free League Publishing and Renegade Game Studios support my content, and I introduce their game to my local audience. I also started to publish my own creations in English, under the name Black Dragon Tomes. My first book is YZE-inspired game called Lost Echoes. I'm also working on other personal projects, too. I believe that friendship, and, understanding and tolerating each other is the most important thing in life. Without communication, we cannot find a good place to have fun, right? BTW: If you have any special request from me (like running an extremely niche game such as Invisible Suns), you can book me with the price on my profile. I always enjoy to tryout new things, or provide specific games, but that requires more energy and work load, that's why the booking price is a little different than the regular announcements.

We will have a session zero to create the characters and talk about the game rules.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Forget about Tolkien-lawyering and your casual D&D experience. This game will be something quite different. You can watch the movies to get into the mood.

How Shatargat creates a safe table
I don't think that we will need safety tools, but I will warn you before a description goes nastier. You can always warn me about skipping the details.
