Returned from death’s dark abyss, Captain Bloodbeard McGraw the Ghost Pirate is from the dead to recruit new members for his otherworldly crew. Will the PCs stop him or will they fall and bolster his growing undead crew? Legend has it the local Owlbear may be linked to the disappearance of a certain infamous druid.

An innkeeper has discovered a mysterious crimson door engraved with a scorpion sigil under his humble inn. This door leads to an ancient ruin lying beneath the city streets of the city-state of Tamuz. Includes details on a bustling urban neighborhood filled with colorful characters.

In Beyond Deep, the PCs visit the secluded mining town of Bereleah built around a now corrupted mine plagued by harrowing conditions, grotesque creatures, and a horrific mystery. The town has been ground down by the exploitation of Thunder Trove Mining, its inhabitants grasping for survival at the treacherous edge of civilization. Full of detailed maps, gruesome monsters, compelling characters, explorable locations, and strange encounters. PCs are warriors in Ragnaborg, a Norse environment in the final days of Ragnarök. PCs play in an epic tale of violence and honor as they battle their way to Valhalla.
