The End of Everything [ EDIT ]

This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.
Trigger Warning: Body Horror

A darkly dreaming god has begun to awaken in the forbidden north; are you strong enough to return it to its slumber before it brings about the end of the world?

🗺️ Follow an adventure that takes you from helping cheese merchants in a port city, through a haunted steppe, and to a frozen lake where you will face a Lovecraftian deity!
🧟 Test your mettle against the corruption of both body and magic that has been cursing the land.
⚔️ Stand toe-to-toe against unique creatures like beer elementals, calcified mimics, and mutated moose!

In the Haunted Steppes above the Wizard Wall north of the great grasslands, the days are getting shorter and the harvest is failing. You have come as mercenaries in search of work, but have no idea of the journey you have accidentally blundered into. You will follow an investigation into the corruption of flesh and magic across this blighted landscape, build alliances across the steppe in order to gather strength, and then attempt to face the horrible entity that is causing the mayhem.

In this adventure you will experience:

🛡️ Experience D&D 5e the way it was intended, hearkening back its classic roots while maintaining modern and intuitive rules.
⚖️ A balance between role-play, combat, and exploration.
👨‍⚖️ Neutral referee who prefers intuitive rulings to strict rules.
🌎 Living world with random encounters and vivid environments.
🐉 Evocative combats with life-or-death stakes!

Come and join me on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure! Here's what other players have said about me:

🎙️ "What really stood out about him as a gamemaster was his ability and willingness to allow player character actions and decisions to matter."
🎙️ "Charles runs flavor rich games that are always full of surprises. He pivots fantastically between different tones, and he understands the rules of each system without handcuffing the game to them."
🎙️ "Charles is a FUN, patient, and supportive GM who invests time and effort into new players without letting the table become a classroom."
