By authors for authors...and for anyone else who wants to hear how the sausage- ahem- I mean the books are made. Join 'Shady' David Shadoin and H.Y. Gregor and their many awesome friends and cohorts and learn how to world build like a pro. There's even some good life advice and, of course, plenty of laughs to be had. Come help us tear the Worlds Asunder!
How could we have known that cantrip was that powerful?!?!?
What happens if you take 5 authors of varying genres, give them not-copyrighted versions of some fun characters, drop them in the middle of the woods and release untold gothic horrors on them?
I don’t know…but I really wanted to find out.
Join maniacal, schadenfreude enthusiast (also known as the Dungeon Master), ‘Shady’ David Shadoin and watch as Kacey Ezell, Jon R. Osborne, William Myrl, Stephen Landry, and T.J. Lombardi get sucker punched over and over again when everything takes a turn for the worse in Author’s Trapped.
Trigger warning: this module leans heavily into some very distinct tropes of the Gothic Horror genre…if you can’t play games like Resident Evil, Amnesia, or The Forest, please do yourself a favor and don’t listen to this. Thanks!
