About the Game

Session Length: 3.5 -
4 hours

In the lofty heights of the Grandspire Mountains, where the air is as thin as a miser’s soup, you find yourselves low on rations and desperate for warmth. For the past week, you’ve been shepherding a group of travelers from a quaint town in the foothills up towards the most inhospitable mountain pass known to man and goat. Ratstew Gap may be the shortest route across these rugged peaks, but it has also made short work of your caravan.

One by one, members of your caravan and their beasts have been killed or carried away by various mountain-dwelling monsters. Your acts of heroism, while undeniably impressive, have been tarnished by a sense of self-doubt, which has worsened with each body you’ve committed to the mountain’s cold embrace.

Of the ten people and nine animals who began this journey under your protection, only three souls remain.

About the Game Master

Hello i am Bowie the goblin DM.

I have been playing Tabletop RPGs for about 15 years and about 10 of them as a Gamemaster, in different dice systems and genres. My favorites would be the Paizo and White Wolf systems that I have both played and GM’d games for. I was raised in a family restaurant and have spent the last 25 years working as a cook, chef, and pitmaster. If you know anything about chefs, it’s how well they can think and adjust on the fly with wild antics. So in my games, I adjust with the players and do my best to not railroad the story. We’re all here to have fun, after all.

I am proficient in the following system:

Pathfinder 2e

D & D 5e
