About the adventure
Alder Glen is dying. Not from fire or war, but from something quieter, stranger, and far more wrong. The forest has begun to twist. Wildlife attacks without provocation. Neighbors speak in hushed voices about loved ones who don’t come home the same… or at all. And the elders fear that the town’s old stories were not warnings, but promises. You are drawn into the heart of a slow, spreading corruption that feeds on fear, secrecy, and desperation. As you investigate, you’ll uncover painful truths about the village’s past, and about what the forest may be demanding in return. This is a story of isolation, moral dilemmas, and the horror of realizing that not every threat can be fought with steel and spells. A folk-horror campaign for characters levels 4–6, where choices matter and the cost of failure is measured in lives.

About me
I love playing Dungeons & Dragons and I’m always up for trying new games. I enjoy being creative with my characters and NPCs, and nothing beats the feeling of telling a story that truly immerses people. My goal is for players to get so drawn in that they lose themselves in another world for a few hours. I’ve been DMing for almost five years...probably more by the time you read this. I started with weekend one shots and eventually began running near daily games on a West Marches server. Over time, I’ve developed a full homebrew world that I’d love for others to experience. What I thrive on is making sure that each person has a unique experience in a game. I love when my players have ah ha moments, or moments where their jaws hit the ground...being able to hear and see the joy the experience while in a game is rewarding. I always try to bring something fresh to my games; new mechanics, creative twists, and narrative depth, to keep every session exciting and engaging for my players.

How That Witchy DM creates a safe table
Players can expect a relaxing atmosphere before the game. There are tense moments within the game though. There will be one break in the middle if players would like. Otherwise players have the choice to step away at anytime, I just ask that a message be sent to myself or the table just so I'm aware that the player is not at their seat.
