Welcome prospective adventurers, my name is RangerPirate, I am a new DM along with my Co-DM Lucci. While I am new to DMing I have been playing 5e for 5 years. We plan to begin with the adventure: The Blood Knight and the 5 Relics. Afterwards we plan to play The Citadel of the Unseen Sun module. Intermixed between these modules will include homebrew content such as; dungeons, encounters, quests, etc. We are looking for 6 applicants. Please send application here with a brief introduction of yourself, what you are looking to get out of this adventure, what sort of experience you have with playing DnD, and what sort of character concept you would want to play. We are not looking for soloplayers or main characters. We hope to recruit people who are team players. People who can handle many forms of Horror and challenging combat. In the setting of Grim Hollow; The setting of Etharis is very dark and brutal. It is a campaign not for
the weak of heart. Fans of Fromsoftware games and the Witcher series
will find a happy home here. Grim Hollow is set in the world of Etharis, which is a relatively small world by some standards, but rife with conflict. It's ravaged by plagues, violent superstition, and to top it off...the pantheon of gods are dead, murdered by one another in madness. Grim Hollow is explicitly a grimdark world. You have a court of vampires ruling over a kingdom shrouded in eternal night, supernatural fog covering a city-state in a swampy area, and you even have nordic vikings that inhabit the far north who spend half their year in a frozen land without sun. You have the Weeping Pox devastating some cities, with the only hint of a cure coming from suspicious plague doctors asking for high costs. Humans are monsters too, make no mistake. The gods that have either died or forsaken the world of Etharis, left behind angelic and demonic lieutenants to take their place, and they are struggling to do that. It's not all bad though, unlike some other grimdark settings and stories, the "heroes" can earn meaningful hope and win small victories for mortal-kind, through immense struggle and sometimes sacrifice. The setting of Grim Hollow offers some interesting ways to advance your character in new ways, such as: feats, spells, curses (special kind of spell), and advanced weapons (including guns!). There's also setting specific races and sub-classes in the Grim Hollow Player's Guide that you'll have access to, should you want to play one of those!
