About the adventure
The River Kingdoms are open for claiming, and the Stolen Lands need explorers who are willing to face danger directly. A charter has been issued to clear the region of threats, map its terrain, and establish new settlements. This campaign will use Shadowdark rules for fast, decisive play, and the Shadowfinder supplement to translate Kingmaker into a streamlined, old-school experience focused on exploration, resource management, and meaningful choices. Players will build a foothold in hostile territory, confront factions with competing goals, and uncover the history buried beneath the Stolen Lands. Every decision influences the growth of your domain, the stability of your allies, and the survival of your party. With Shadowdark’s simple and lethal system, success depends on good judgment, caution, and teamwork. Your actions will determine whether a new kingdom rises or your expedition ends in failure.

About me
Hey all, my name is Dean but I typically go by Technobable online. I am new to the Startplaying site but not to running games online. I started playing tabletop RPG’s in the early 80’s when I was 10, became a GM by 14 out of necessity and have been GM’ing ever since. I have played and GM’ed many systems over the years and enjoy learning new systems as they come out. I typically put a lot of time and effort into my games with a good mix of cultivated story, improv and spontaneity thrown in. I dislike railroads so I tend to give my players a large amount of agency on where they go and what they do. All I ask is that your characters to be team players to some extent so the game flows well and we don’t have problematic players trying to steal the energy from the game. I typically do not have that issue as I tend to remove those trouble players earlier than later for the enjoyment of the rest of the group.
