The Dark Forest – May Release (Patreon)

Hi Everyone,

May's release is now LIVE!
We're changing our File Delivery this month - You'll be receiving a invite to add the models to your MyMiniFactory Library! More info here 

Baphomet and her infernal children dwell in these woods, and their corrupting influence has turned the lands into a twisted thicket of mist and echoing bleats. The Chort, the dreaded Bies, and a nest of cruel Kikimora stalk and rampage through the tight boughs, ready to prey upon any who venture from the lights of the Village of Essenvald.

Baphomet holds the village folk under her thrall though, and her control has driven them to insanity. Aided by the dark magics of the Hag and her Domovoy assistant; the Peasant folk, Blacksmith, and even the resident Mendicant Friar have been reduced to bleating wrecks of their former selves. Though many are catatonic, they will quickly rouse to violence should any threaten their dark mother.

Alongside this cast of folk horrors, comes a set of gnarly terrain from the Dark Forest. Runestones, saturated in ancient magics, serve as a conduit for Baphomet’s dark power; their locus at the great Runestone Altar. A pair of Hangman Trees cut a grim silhouette, their branches dangling with votive corpse-offerings for the Kikimora who weave their tight Dens amongst the boughs.

Lone Hero – Brahmin

Hailing from the distant and expansive Sinoan continent, far to the East, Brahmin is a wandering Monk. He walks these lands in quiet contemplation in his endless quest for wisdom and truth. Though he may be mistaken as a hapless old man, carrying nothing but a simple walking stick, he should not be underestimated. For he is lithe and deadly, his wizened old body just as agile as it was in his prime. Yet, in his many years of searching, he has grown far more powerful still, learning to bend the powers of spirit and flame to his will, striking fast and hard with flaming astral vipers.

RPG Module – Braying Call

In this month’s RPG Module ‘Braying Call’, the party must investigate the strange happenings around Essenvald, an old village hidden away in the southern Black Forest. As the townsfolk slide into madness, the party must confront the culprit and put an end to its reign of terror before its influence spreads any further and it begins to corrupt any more surrounding villages.
