About the Game

Session Length: 2.5 -
4 hours

Designed for Shadowdark characters levels 3-4

A husband’s desperate act of love has doomed an entire house.

When every healer, priest, and physician failed, Lord Alastair Ravenmere turned to forbidden magic to save the woman he loved. His ritual succeeded… but what returned was no longer his wife.

Now Ravenmere Manor stands abandoned, its halls haunted by the restless dead and the echoes of a tragedy that refuses to die. Beneath the crumbling estate, the terrible consequence of Alastair’s obsession still waits in the darkness.

Will you uncover the truth… or become another ghost of Ravenmere Manor?

About the Game Master

Hello. My name is Greth aka Warlock. I am a professional Game Master focused on immersive storytelling, atmospheric worldbuilding, and cinematic tabletop experiences.

With experience running Dungeons & Dragons 5E, ShadowDark RPG, and Cyberpunk RED, I specialize in games that emphasize tension, exploration, meaningful choices, and unforgettable narrative moments. I also have experience running both the old and new Vampire: The Masquerade games. I try to emphasize that I am beginner friendly and I welcome all experience levels.

ShadowDark, for me, remains a particular passion, offering players fast-paced old-school fantasy where torchlight, danger, and discovery create uniquely memorable adventures.

Sessions are designed to balance engaging roleplay, tactical encounters, strong pacing, and approachable gameplay for both new and experienced players alike.

Whether venturing into haunted ruins, surviving eldritch horrors, or navigating neon-lit dystopias, players can expect immersive worlds where every choice carries weight.

The Dice decide. Fate listens -Warlock-
