TTRPG Open Play: Shadowdark

📢 Calling all adventurers for TTRPG Open Play: Shadowdark RPG!

Current Adventure:

She dwelled as a scribe among the priestesses of the Scorpion Temple, chronicling tales and composing songs of the venomous faithful as they marched toward the glorious Final Age.
Then, on a night soft with chanting and prayer, a purple worm burst from the walls of the temple, devouring the young bard. However, she did not perish, but rather emerged from the titanic worm as an undead sorceress. Generations later, the Worm-Witch’s song still echoes across the wastes, luring in mortals with the promise of faith and fortune…”
