ARBco ➫ GenCon@j-k.games · 4d agoI want to thank everybody at the @igdn-official.bsky.social get-together and in @rosspayton.bsky.social's crew for being really positive and supportive Saturday night without knowing how much I needed it.

Shadowdark: Nightmare at Castle Goldgloom
Lord Fairfax was a wealthy and successful merchant. Having purchased and experienced all the oddities the surface had to offer, Fairfax became obsessed with the Shadowdark. One day, dark clouds formed over his castle. Crawlers who ventured close said that golden mist spills from the keep. None who enter ever leave again. Locals now call it Castle Goldgloom and laugh when crawlers take the old road that leads to its doors.
