About the adventure
"The isolated lumber town of Willowshore witnesses the Reenactment Festival on the last day of spring each year. Beginning a time in the year commonly spoken of as the Season of Ghosts, when spirits, hauntings, and undead come to be seen frequently in the region. A mysterious threat emerges and Willowshore will see the seasons change by the time it earns itself peace." The adventure is set on the continent of Tian-Xia and starts with the end of the Reenactment Festival in the town of Willowshore, on the first day of Summer. It is an adventure focused mainly on its theme of eastern-inspired setting of Tian Xia and its customs. Combat in this adventure is a lesser focus when compared to other adventures as it focuses on its eerie and mysterious story unfold over the seasons of the year. Downtime and Roleplay see a more prominent role than in other adventures as a consequence.

About me
Hello and welcome, folks! My name is Mark, I am 24 years old, and I have been DMing Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition for 8 years. I have always been a fan of fantasy since I was a kid watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy and playing Warcraft 3 on our family PC. I vividly remember my friend (whom I still play with) bringing his brother's D&D 3rd edition books and creating characters, only to make new ones every time we wanted to play again. Furthermore, I later stumbled upon a little known show called Critical Role and got hooked on the idea of cooperative storytelling, adventure and role-play. Re-discovering what D&D was had sent me down a rabbit hole into fantasy media like never before, and still has me hooked. I live in the Central Europe Timezone (CET) and I usually run games at 6:00 AM or 6:00 PM, my time. I am willing to run at games at any other time besides night-time hours (10pm-5am CET). I welcome all players, and love teaching the rules of 5th Edition D&D to newcomers. Not only that, but I am confident in my knowledge and experience with the system and can guarantee a smooth game, no matter how complex a situation arises. New or experienced to Tabletop RPGs, I cannot wait to have the opportunity to play with you and unravel the amazing adventures you will set upon.
