About the adventure
This adventure explores the travels, trials, feats, and follies of an elite class of errant swordsmen, mystics, monster hunters, and martial artists. You roam the roads and confront the dangers of the Otherworld for honor, love, fame, wealth, or revenge. The Otherworld is slipping into our own. The Twin Rings are overlapping. Wild spirits and magical beasts roam with abandon. Common folk are driven into hiding from fear. By your blade and your name, with the skill of your body and the speed of your mind, you do epic battle with unimaginable creatures, reclaiming the wilds for the forces of order and civilization. It's a lonely road you walk, but you'll find companions along it. And, maybe just, the dream you've been seeking for.

Any system, any genre, small or large group sizes, specialty games. I can build a new setting, or tell a story in yours. I can learn new systems or tools. Anything required to make your perfect adventure. • Short quests? Absolutely • Grand adventures? Yup, and everything between • Any genre? I specialize in fantasy and science-fantasy, but I'll do anything • Any system? I've run lots, and I'll learn any you want • Specialty games?
