About the adventure
The valley of Harrowmere should not exist. It appears on no royal maps. Roads twist when leading there. Travelers forget entering it. Yet every autumn smoke rises from its chimneys, bells ring in the mist… and something ancient stirs beneath the fields. For generations, the people of Harrowmere have kept an old bargain. The harvest is plentiful. The winters are mild. And once each year… The valley feeds. Now the pact is breaking. Crops rot overnight. Livestock are born wrong. People vanish from locked homes. A moonless festival approaches known only as The Hollow Feast, and whispers say when the feast begins, no soul may leave the valley. You arrive as outsiders—or perhaps as those called home. To survive, you must uncover forgotten rites, descend into root-choked ruins beneath the village, confront old gods wearing human faces, and decide whether the ancient pact should be broken… or honored in blood. The Hollow Feast is a long-form horror campaign built around investigation, creeping dread, dangerous exploration, moral corruption, and cinematic survival. Because in Harrowmere— everyone is invited to dinner. Players of all experience levels are welcome. 4-6 players, sessions once a week (or as agreed).

About me
~20 years of rpg gaming which led me to DND... Needless to say, I've found something that I can throw my creative juices into! I love to create worlds where the players can immerse themselves and let their imaginations run wild. I am not the biggest "rulebook" stickler - meaning I'm ok twisting some things or homebrewing here and there. That said, there is always going to be some structure in the form of precedent and clear communication of how to address certain scenarios moving forward. I wouldn't call myself the 'premier' choice of DM, but I want to make this content accessible and grow from the experience playing with you!

What DM Chuck brings to the table
I want to make the world YOURS, and I strongly believe that my ideas alone are not going to be the best for everyone's fun. I can push the content and direction, but strongly encourage the players to make this escape truly their own as well. I will be bringing VTT content, overarching story, character development, and encounters. You bring your character concept, and engage with the world to make it your own.
