About this episode

The episode features a dark fantasy adventure where villagers explore the haunted Castle Goldgloom in search of treasure.

Lord Fairfax was a wealthy and successful merchant. Having purchased and experienced all the oddities the surface had to offer, Fairfax became obsessed with the Shadowdark. One day, dark clouds formed over his castle. Crawlers who ventured close said that golden mist spills from the keep. None who enter ever leave again. Locals now call it Castle Goldgloom and laugh when crawlers take the old road that leads to its doors. Now, a mob of local villagers venture forth into the castle to find treasure to save their homes. Get the scenario on DTRPG now. This scenario was run on Owlbear Rodeo so a video version is available. Watch the game on Patreon or on Youtube!
