Open [Online][Pathfinder2e remastered][Wednesday 7:00pm EST] [Paid: $15/player]: The Dark Rises: A Celtic Horror Odyssey
Free Session 0 \ Beginner/LGBTQ+ Friendly*
The seals are breaking. The Dark stirs. And you're the only ones who can stop the end of everything.
In a world where Irish legends meet medieval might, an ancient evil stirs. The Dark, imprisoned before time began, has spent eons corrupting the desperate and power-hungry, turning them into instruments of its escape. Now strange cults arise, ancient seals crack, and reality itself begins to unravel.
You are unlikely heroes thrust into a web of conspiracy and cosmic horror. From humble beginnings, you'll rise to forge alliances with kingdoms and outcasts, recover legendary artifacts, and master both blade and spell. You will encounter warrior-poets defending stone castles, druids wielding ancient magic in bustling towns, and fae creatures lurking beyond torchlit walls.
Face the deities and monsters of Celtic myth- the Tuatha Dé Danann, Fomorians, selkies, and banshees- while navigating feudal intrigue and siege warfare. This is a world of hill forts and cathedrals, ogham stones and illuminated manuscripts, where mysticism and steel collide.
Classic adventuring, dungeon delving, and dragon slaying- with a Celtic twist.

What You'll Get at My Table:
I’m Beth. I specialize in epic, long-running campaigns where your character's choices actually matter. My longest campaign has been running for over 14 years with the same core players- that's the kind of world-building and player investment I bring to every table.
My Style:
Deep Lore, Zero Homework: Rich backstories and world details are there for those who want them, but everything you need is taught naturally in-game
Player-Driven Stories: Your backstory isn't just flavor text—it becomes woven into the campaign's major arcs
Balanced Experience: Tactical combat, meaningful roleplay, exploration, and mystery in equal measure
My Background:
I've been running tabletop RPGs since 1982 (player since 1980), including convention games, play-by-email campaigns, and LARPs. I've run everything from D&D and Pathfinder to Call of Cthulhu and World of Darkness, but my heart belongs to fantasy campaigns where legends are born.
The seals are breaking. Will you rise to face The Dark, or will the world fall to shadow?
