YOU DIED.
BUT THIS IS NOT THE END.
YOU WAKE ON GREY SANDS.
A VISTA OF BLACK PITTED STONE AND SCABBED ORANGE IRON LIES IN FRONT OF YOU.
EMBEDDED IN YOUR FLESH IS A BLACK STONE INSCRIBED WITH YOUR SINS.
YOU REMEMBER NOTHING BUT YOUR NAME.
WILL YOU BE BROKEN BY THE SHRIKE.

What is this?

  • Open table for Leo Hunt’s The Shrike. A pointcrawl set in a lost section of hell.
  • You play characters trapped in hell.

(If you played in the unsettled Cairn campaign, you may choose to play a deceased character. If you’d like to bring one from another campaign, just ask. Or you can play a new character. This has no mechanical impact. You will roll for stats and items anyways.)

Theme, Rules and Playstyle

  • Theme: Dark fantasy but not grimdark.
  • System: Rules light framework based on Grave by Jason Tocci. Rules reference document for the campaign here
  • Playstyle: High trust OSR, Problem-solving, non-authorial, world-favoring.
  • No generative AI (draw yourself, search the public domain).
  • Safety: Open door policy, lines and veils (dm the referee), x card.

How do we play?

  • Online, using Discord (video optional) and Owlbear as VTT.
  • Weekly sessions, open table, first come first serve.
  • No downtime between sessions. Characters not available are usually assumed to follow the party at a distance.
  • Session reports posted to campaign blog (LINK to be added). After action reports, maps and illustrations by players awarded with bonus XP.
