Shadowdark: Las Madrinas (Gongaii Games)

Las Madrinas is a hexcrawl-style sandbox campaign for Shadowdark in which the characters scour a dark fantasy world being pulled in opposite directions by deific figures known as the Matriarchs. Through adventuring, dungeon-crawling, and good old-fashioned role-playing, players will have the opportunity to help guide the land's fate while discovering its history as their choices impact the very land they traverse.

The realms of Las Madrinas are culturally diverse but feature only human characters to help the campaign focus on mankind's struggles. This means new human ancestries while elves, dwarves, and the like return to the shadowy otherworlds and fairy tales they emerged from.

No previous knowledge of Shadowdark is needed to join; veterans and newcomers alike are welcome, and I will be taking feedback on the setting and rules as we go. My hope is to build a player-reactive setting with strong themes influenced by the Matriarchs, allowing for replayability and a sense of player agency. The games will be bi-weekly on Thursdays at Gongaii Games, and I hope to see you there!
