About the adventure

This campaign includes: 🌸 New & Experienced Player Friendly! 🌸 Low-Magic, High-Tension Game play: Magic is rare, dangerous, and tied to spirits not a simple tool. 🌸 Feudal Japan Themed 🌸 Paranormal Horror: Demons whisper, spirits lure, and the supernatural is unpredictable. 🌸 A Fully Built Northern Map: Villages, sacred groves, ruined forts, spirit gates, haunted lakes, and a clan stronghold. 🌸 Gritty Combat & Hard Consequences: Wounds scar. Trauma lingers. Monsters do not fight fair. 🌸 Beauty Amid the Brutality: Quiet temples, falling blossoms, and moments of reflection contrast the horror. 🌸 Game Player Level: 5 - 12. Across Yorushima’s northern province, an uneasy hush has settled over villages and trade routes alike. Travelers vanish without a trace, leaving abandoned carts, half-packed satchels, and bloodless footprints in the snow. Locals mutter of shapes glimpsed at the edge of lantern-light, of voices calling from the treeline in familiar tones that should be impossible. Though elders dismiss it as superstition and folklore meant to scare children indoors, the rumours spread faster than they can be silenced: demons walking again, shadows slipping between worlds, ancient gates humming with life they were never meant to hold. Fear now grips the land like winter’s fist; caravans refuse to travel at night, shrines are overflowing with desperate offerings, and even the bravest warriors feel watched when the wind turns cold. Something stirs in the dark corners of the province, something old, hungry, and whispering. Your story begins when you arrive at Kawaishi Village and you overhear someone speaking in fear: “Someone else disappeared last night…”

About me

𝓗𝓸𝔀 𝓓𝓸 𝓨𝓸𝓾 𝓦𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓣𝓸 𝓓𝓸 𝓣𝓱𝓲𝓼? Hey I'm Posh Josh 👋🏻 The irony being I'm not actually posh just British! I'm new player friendly 🫶🏻 I don't bite...the monsters do 🧌 My first D&D game I ran was in a storage closet under the stairs in a church community centre (unfortunately no Hogwarts letters arrived for me!🦉) that group started 8 years ago and evolved into a group still running and fumbling dice consistently to this day. 🎲 I like to run a balanced game of combat, roleplay and puzzles. I really REALLY am invested in the Theros setting, since reading it earlier this year (2025) I have been engulfed! If nothing I have listed suits your schedule then message me, I will definatley run a custom game for you! I do one shots so you can try before you buy 😉 Check out my Discord below.
