Bane Creepers are the result of Hags' twisted experiments - the newts whose eyes are taken for potions and elixirs, infused with necrotic magic & bound to the will of the one who holds their eyes.

So it's probably fitting that our next GM features on the day that #AthCon4 gets to hang up our Sold Out sign.

Yes we've sold out!!

Only tickets left are those for mini adventures (that's under 12s) and NPCs (that's folks that don't want to game but mind mini people and soak up atmosphere).

I'd like to say a couple of things about UKGE and their silence in regards to the whole AI debacle.
I'll start with a disclaimer: I know UKGE is a HUGE opportunity for many small businesses and publishers, and in the current unstable financial situation we're all in, skipping it because of ethical>

Additional text reads: "Tonight at 7pm GMT". There are logos for The Emerald Collective and Shadowdark RPG in the bottom left and right corners, respectively.

Our Shadowdark stream returns tonight!

The party passed through the Ashwood and into the hills on their journey to Tyred, and despite some grave omens, emerged unscathed. Will they make it safely to the market town or will death and destruction cross their path once more before they reach it?

Our Shadowdark game 'Against the Crimson Queen' continues tonight at 7pm GMT!

On the journey to Tyred, the party passed through the mountains, aiding an injured explorer, avoiding a hungry horned giant, and fighting off the nocturnal attack of a flock of dire vultures. Next up—the Ashwood.

The last AthCon was my first proper con (though I've run games at Conclave in Limerick, which is more of a game day) and it was a phenomenal experience!

I'm planning to run more games this year than I did last year and a spot at at least one will definitely be saved!
