About the adventure
The Land of Etharis is one fraught with pain. The gods are dead, darkness runs rampant, and help is few and far between. People are caught up in their own paranoia and unease, and no one trusts each other anymore. Travel between cities can be deadly, and that's if you stick to the roads. Hope is in low supply. But you can make things different. You can bring a spark of light to the shadows. It might not be enough to banish them. It might not be enough to change things. But if you can just bring a candle to one person's doorstep... It might just be worth it. Based in the Grim Hollow 3rd party supplement.

About me
Hello, my name is Pixels and I'm thrilled to provide a wonderful gaming experience for you. I've been gm-ing for nearly a decade, and am versed in a number of systems including Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition, Pathfinder 1st and 2nd editions, Starfinder 1st edition, Open Legend, Call of Cthulhu, Monster of the Week and Shadowrun. I tend to be a Rule of Cool gm, using Rules as Written as a base to allow for player creativity and problem solving. Not everything is allowed, but there's often a way to bend a rule to make for an amazing outcome. I look forward to telling a story with you!

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a mic and a discord account, though they will not need a webcam. Reading the rules beforehand would be appreciated. Players will also need a token for their character, or a placeholder will be provided.
