About the adventure

The town of Karkaso is far to the west of the Successor States of Rega. The wars and troubles of Skaria don't bother it. The barbarians other nations face can't reach it. So it's a peaceful port town, as quiet as the bustling docks will allow it to be, until a mysterious plague infects the city. People are dying swiftly and painfully. The healers can't determine the cause. Clerical magic can't cure the disease. A supernatural origin is suspected. Can the heroes find the cause, and the cure, in time to save the town, and maybe more?

About me

I’m a military veteran (a long time ago), a father of several wonderful children, and an amateur mythologist, poet, and philosopher. I've been playing and running games for 42 years, a partial list of which is on my home page. I’m here to run games, and make that as easy and fulfilling as possible. Wanna see what I bring to the table? https://www.ofgodsandgamemasters.com/ and https://www.youtube.com/@OfGodsandGamemasters for my written work, my voice work, and my actual plays. I can run nearly any game, and that flexibility and wide knowledge improves all my games. I build deep, intense, and well-realized worlds, but my games and stories are player and player character driven and focused. I'll be glad to work with your table to create a custom setting and adventures that are absolutely bespoke and tailored to you!
