NEVERMORE: A Campaign of Gothic Terror

About the adventure

Welcome to the Barony of Nevermore, where madness threatens to hold illimitable dominion over all... Each week, we will delve into one of The Arcane Library's one-shot adventures from their "Bundle of Horror" series. https://www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/adventure-bundles Drawing inspiration from Poe, Lovecraft, and Roger Corman, each adventure will introduce the players to a new horror as they must overcome the darkness that threatens to engulf both the land and their own minds. Each week, a new adventure: Level 1: MASQUE OF THE WORMS A mad nobleman throws a party where the survivors will envy the dead... Level 2: VALLEY OF THE GILDED TOWER A nightmare lurks in the ruins of an abandoned mausoleum... Level 3: THE CRYPTS OF AZARUMME The search for a missing priest leads to the discovery of secret horror... Level 4: WATCHERS IN THE DARK Something wicked has fallen from the sky. What is trying to invade from beyond the stars?... Level 5: THE SNOWSTALKERS A foreboding mountain pass leads to an unexpected danger... Level 6: BENEATH THE BLACK ROSE Terror awaits those who would delve too deep into the secrets of a quaint road-side inn... Level 7: THE CURSE OF WARDENWOOD Howls echo through the forest on the night of the full moon. Dare the adventurers investigate?... Level 8: THE HORROR WITHIN The play's The Thing! A theatrical production will spell curtains for all! (capitalization intended) Won't you join us?

How will character creation work

Characters will start at 1st Level and be made in D&D Beyond. If you already have a 1st level character, you can bring them in, or I will schedule a free individual session before the campaign to help you design a character. I will also have pregens created for those who don't want to make their character or who join up last minute.

Players can expect

• Find a game to join solo or search for a professional game master for you and your friends/coworkers/family.
• Book your session and wait for the Game Master to approve you.
• If you don't have a blast with your first game, your next game is on us.
