Season 1: The Road to Ta-Shedet
The heat is on in this hunt for the lost city of Ta-Shedet! This is an online campaign using the framework of The Lost Mine of Phandelvar and set in the badlands and deserts of Pteris in 180 BR. The "Brightwater Campaign" references the starting town of Brightwater.
Season 2: Damn Outlaws
We return for more tales in the Free City of Brightwater! Six months passed in the real world, 40 years passed in Quelmar, and this in-person (PA) campaign with four new players runs on Deadlands: The Weird West. Our heroes track down the McLain family across the region as they test if blood is thicker than holy water. The First Infernal Emergence (unintentionally set into motion in season 1) has scarred the landscape. Most fiends headed east for denser soul populations, but one stuck around that folks just refer to as the Devil. Hellish technology has cropped up, like shattersticks, warmachines, and infernal firearms (technologically distinct from mechano-magical firearms developed over a millenium later). Can they save the day or have fun trying?
