About the adventure
Based on Steinhart's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt, the Blessed Stalwarts campaign is a blend of eldritch horror with bloodborne-esque aesthetics and lore. Explore Alenmar - a once prosperous city-state of commerce, religion, and arcane discovery, now facing the daunting task of surviving an eldritch curse. Alenmar is split into seven districts with their own unique mechanics, quests, factions, and secrets. With the spread of an incurable affliction known as the Scourge, eldritch moons are making more frequent and destructive appearances beckoning those with the Scourge. Will you answer the call to hunt monstrous beasts, discover the origin of the Scourge curse, and become the heroes Alenmar desperately needs? Or will you fall to madness from the far realms?

About me
Howdy y'all! I am (currently) a full-time high school teacher with over 6 years of GM experience in D&D and the Borg systems. I currently have many roleplaying ideas across multiple systems and hope to GM an aspirational group who would enjoy a storytelling journey!

What Alex brings to the table
As a GM I enjoy in-character conversations using character voices as well as ambient music. Players can expect intense combat encounters and an ever-growing environment as the city moves with time. As for rules I embrace the Rule of Cool as long as everyone else enjoys the game.
