About the adventure
In an alternate early 1900s version of Appalachia, beings of unknowable darkness stalk the forests, the hollers, and the deep darkness in the roots of the mountains where blood, sweat, and tears are sacrificed for coal and paths of iron. We will launch our campaign using the "Luthier's Folly" adventure from the first book as a launching point for an indefinite sandbox campaign. Together, we will build our own fictional Appalachian towns and hollers, weaving in materials from the books and other materials provided by Monte Cook Games and our favorite Appalachian storytellers.

About me
I'm a geeky gamer mom who loves a good story. I run wholesome, accessible, PG-13 games from a variety of systems. I prefer fantasy and horror settings and love to run a good mystery or heist. Players under 18 are permitted at my tables if an adult family member is also playing and the rest of the table agrees. Please talk to me ahead of time about this. I am committed to making my games accessible! Please let me know what your needs are and I will do my very best to accommodate them.

How Morningbird creates a safe table
We will discuss lines and veils and other safety tools at the start of the game. I like to take a break every 1.5 hours or so.
