About the adventure

This adventure is set in a home brew world. A world that has been shaped by adventures before this. Enthierra a world shaped and mutated by magic. A world guided and seemingly protected by enormous lighthouses that are older than a being could measure. But all things end. For the first time in history, a lighthouse has gone out. Beings strange and awful crawl from the Oltharean ocean, preying on those living on the eastern coastline of the kingdom of Baelar. Now that king of Baelar has sent messengers to every settlement in his kingdom, and many outside of it, with one message. One request really. Please help us. This game will span from level 1 to 10. There will be horror and mystery elements but is primarily still fantasy adventure. All skill levels welcome!

About me

Hi, I’m Josh — a professional Game Master with 24 years of tabletop experience and 21 years running games behind the screen. I’ve guided players through dozens of systems, specializing in immersive fantasy and gripping horror campaigns. Whether it’s high-stakes political intrigue, creeping cosmic dread, or character-driven epic adventures, I build worlds that feel alive and stories that matter. My GM style focuses on: • Deep player immersion • Meaningful character development • Strong narrative pacing • Atmosphere you can feel As a GM, nothing excites me more than watching players become truly invested — when the world feels real, the stakes feel personal, and the story matters. I love building settings that pull players in and stories that keep them thinking about the game long after the session ends. If you’re looking for a GM who’s prepared, enthusiastic, and dedicated to delivering memorable experiences every week, I’d love to roll some dice with you.
