About the adventure
Fifty years ago, a hag named Speckled Hester was execute near the town of Ill Hollow. With her last breath, Hester vowed to share her greatest secret with whoever first made contact with her spirit. To ensure this never occurred, the people of Ill Hollow buried Hester in an unmarked grave, where they believed the hag would be forgotten. Not a word has been heard from Hester since, but the ghost of her most faithful servant, a hound named Bonedigger, haunts Ill Hollow to this day. The townsfolk believe Bonedigger seeks Hester’s bones so that others might learn her final secret. This adventure features a mix of investigation, roleplaying, and combat. New players welcome! First-level pregens are provided.

About me
I have been playing RPGs for more than thirty years. I love big games like D&D and Pathfinder as well as indie and story focused games. I’ve run games in person and online, including home campaigns, one-shots, and convention games. I love gaming and bringing new people into the hobby. I am a professional game designer. I created the all-ages RPG Magical Kitties Save the Day, and have written for major companies like Paizo and Onyx path. I also run a small publishing company called Sneak Attack Press. When not running playing games, I’m a stay-at-home dad and author of science fiction and fantasy with short stories published or forthcoming in Escape Pod and the Common Bonds Volume 2.
