A violent storm drives four strangers to seek shelter at the Blackwater Inn, a lonely coastal refuge where weary travelers are always welcome…   …but leaving is another matter entirely.   As the night unfolds, ghostly encounters, supernatural mysteries, unlikely alliances, awkward flirtations, and more than a few questionable decisions force our travelers to confront both the secrets hidden within...

As the courts of the Feywild gather beneath dim skies to mourn the loss of Thelorin, echoes of the past begin to surface.

When the party awakens in the Hallowed...

A tragedy from long ago resurfaces, casting a long shadow over a life shaped by loss and longing. What once felt like chance reveals itself as something far more intentional, as old desires and tender moments take on a darker weight in the present.

Deep in the Appalachian forest outside Morgantown, North Carolina, the woods have gone quiet in the worst way possible. Three park rangers vanished on night patrol—no calls for backup, no tracks leading out, just empty radios and the sense that something out there is listening. As search teams pull back and the locals lock their doors before sundown, a group of unlikely heroes is drawn into the da...

Old promises stir beneath New Orleans’ music-soaked streets as the past presses uncomfortably close to the present. What began generations ago echoes forward, threading fate, debt, and chance into the lives of those caught in its wake. The city hums with secrets, and not all of them are willing to stay buried.   Shadows slip where they shouldn’t, familiar faces feel unsettlingly wrong, and the lin...

A life once lived in the Lower Ninth Ward resurfaces in fragments: loss, revenge, and a talent for finding what others cannot. What follows is a path paved with good intentions, twisted bargains, and a revelation that redefines purpose itself. Some ghosts are made, others are recruited. Meanwhile, a quiet moment on the bayou shatters as time stalls and doors appear where they shouldn’t. Old neighb...

As the party presses deeper into the bayou, a harrowing glimpse into Onyx’s past casts a long shadow over the present. Old wounds and forgotten truths rise to the surface just as a dangerous spirit encounter fractures the group’s sense of safety. When a familiar presence turns violent, the crew must act fast to protect one of their own, only to discover that the threat they’re facing is far more c...

Hamburg, 1999. Snow clings to iron railings and the Elbe breathes fog into narrow streets lit by trembling amber lamps. Church bells toll too slowly, and something old listens from the dark. An unlikely band is drawn together on the eve of the holiday, following whispers of hoofbeats and chain-rattle through alleyways and forgotten halls. As the night deepens, myth sharpens its claws: Krampus walk...

Deep in the Louisiana bayou, life and death twist together in the shadows. What begins as a story of nature’s balance soon curdles into something far darker: a tale of creation gone wrong and vengeance born from the swamp itself. A strange figure watches over these waters, half-man, half-monster, haunted by what he’s lost and what he’s become. When a scavenging mission turned adventure brings new...

Before the chaos at Cold Springs Cold Brews, before the gunfire and the ghosts, there was only a boy on a porch—a watchful eye in the Garden District, learning to see what others missed. But some mysteries aren’t meant to be solved, and some truths refuse to stay buried. Now, that same curiosity leads to ruin. A friend turns violent, old magic lashes out, and something unseen forces its way into t...

Before the chaos at Cold Springs Cold Brews, there was the bayou: a place where love, loss, and dark bargains intertwine.

In the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter, chaos hits a high note when a mysterious force of sound shatters the night at Cold Springs Cold Brews: a bar that, ironically, serves everything but cold brew.
