Full Episode
Hey friends, it's your pal Mike Shea from Sly Flourish, here with another episode of Sly Flourish's Lazy GM Prep. In this weekly show, I go through steps from Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master while preparing for my Sunday role-playing game. In this case, we are going to have the campaign conclusion to my long-going, shadow-dark, gloaming campaign.
Shadow Dark is an excellent role-playing game made by Arcane Library. The Gloaming is a setting available in Cursed Scroll 1, also available from the Arcane Library. We've been running it about a year now. I think we're into 40-some sessions at this point. I don't remember exactly what the number of this session is, but we are going to be having the conclusion to our Shadow Dark campaign today.
It's very exciting. So today's prep show is going to be diving into our conclusion for our Shadow Dark prep game, what that looks like and how that is all going to play out. This show, like all of the work of Sly Flourish, is brought to you by the patrons of Sly Flourish. Patrons get access to all kinds of tools, tips, tricks, adventures, source books, and other things to help them run their RPGs.
They also get access to the incredible Lazy GM community over on Discord, and they help me put on shows like this. To the patrons of Sly Flourish, thank you so much for your outstanding support. Final conclusion day. Today is it. Today, we're one way or the other. Our Shadow Dark game is going to end.
So in our last session, the characters had left Haldrin's Tower and were making their way from Haldrin's Tower and the giant drained lake in the center of... The gloaming Fenmir Lake here had completely been drained because of something they had done long ago where they found a sphere. I'm trying to remember what it was.
They found like an object that represented the world and they forced it out of like this thing. And when they did, it cracked. And when it cracked, the entire lake in the center of the place had drained. And then later they're like, I don't know. There was one character who remembered that it happened. All the other characters had died off.
And that character's like, I don't know what you're talking about. Wow, that's amazing. Such a natural disaster to have occurred. And everyone's like, yeah, I wonder how that happened. And all the players are like, you did it. You cracked it. So that was really funny. So they made their way around Fenimir Lake, and they ran into...
the werewolf queen, and they had some fine conversations with Victoria who talked about what else was going on in the area of the gloaming. They saw a set of standing stones. I switched into standing stones in area 102 that is doing some weird effect on time. I don't know if that's going to come into play or not. We're going to have to see.
But we know that only about a half day's journey away are the standing stones where they can confer with, potentially confer with Kytheros, which they might need to do. And then they made their way to 702. On their way, they ran into this river, and along the riverbank, they saw a knight. And the knight was sitting there at the riverbank. There were a bunch of dead bodies around.
