My gigantic infernal pointcrawl module The Shrike is now live on Kickstarter! Click here to back the campaign!
The Shrike is a modular sandbox adventure setting in a neglected fragment of Hell- a colossal blade dedicated to punishing a nameless God. The titular Shrike itself is a black iron mountain with serrated spires of rock and rust that pierces the heart of the God, causing divine blood to flow and nourish life within the corroded iron megastructure. The module is written for the Old School Essentials RPG but works well for your other d20 based fantasy systems of choice.
This book is the largest tabletop RPG product I’ve ever written, over 300 pages of quality dark fantasy adventure. The book contains:
- 46 unique pointcrawl locations
- 3 detailed and keyed dungeons including the waterlogged Cove of Iron Coffins, the derelict Gamigin’s Starforge, and an endless masquerade ball in The Palace of the Heart.
- 1 procedurally generated depth-crawl in the surreal shifting interior of the Shrike’s bladed barb
- 5 scheming factions of the diabolic Courts and mountains of detailed NPC’s
- 3 new classes from the shapeshifting Imp to the Forged and Rampant Partials made from the God’s blood animating detritus and abandoned objects- molded into demon designed bodies or left to grow wild and feral.
- 40+ new monsters from the eyegouger finch to the auric homunculus.
- 37 brand new magic items
- 1 Nameless God impaled upon the Shrike’s heaven-harrowing thorn, writhing and seeking escape.

The campaign will run for 31 days, and includes a bunch of neat add-ons in the form of maps, iron-on patches, and potentially paper monster miniatures illustrated by yours truly, depending on how the campaign goes.
