James Crane

(He,Him)
James first got into D&D during its second edition. He attended a sleepover at a friends house and one of their regular players didn’t make it. I can’t remember the character's name, but he was a fighter and he had a ring of wishes. The game took place in a dungeon (he had no idea that was a default in those days) and the party ran into a gelatinous cube full of strange items. It felt downright magical. James knew two things at that moment: he was hooked on the game and he couldn’t wait to be a Dungeon Master.

Memorable Moment
as DM
"It was a long running campaign. One of the players fell off a cliff. Unknown to the other players, he was saved by the big villain. Me and the one player played sessions in secret for weeks before eventually reintroducing his character… and the villain. It was a great moment!"
Favorite Part
of the Game
"Story.
It has multiple writers:
the players, myself, and the mechanics of the game itself."
Favorite RPG inspiration
(books, movies, comics, etc.)
GOT, Dragonlance, Kushiel’s Legacy, The Black Company, Lord of the Rings, and Conan.

Micah is an illustrator and writer currently DMing and designing homebrew content for D&D5e. After getting into D&D a few years back all his passions and interests clicked into place; world building, illustration, game design, role play, fantasy/sci-fi, and character writing! Now he is hard at work to bring these fantastical worlds to life.

D&D 5e Modules & Homebrew
Most
Memorable Moment
as DM
On a snowy mountain peak my players slayed a group of warlocks attempting to corrupt a silver dragon egg. They saved the egg, fended off a frost giant skeleton and then caused an avalanche to stop a nearby demonic invasion! Huzzah!
Favorite Part
of the Game
Designing dungeons and battle maps to provide interesting obstacles and challenges for my players to overcome. Creating the perfect atmosphere through music, dialogue, descriptions and sound effects. Creating stories that both entertain and surprise my players. Making weird npcs my players will have a riot interacting with. Incorporating the player character’s backstory and motivations in interesting ways throughout the narrative through npc & environment interactions.
Favorite RPG inspiration
(books, movies, comics, etc.)
Video Games such as knights of the old republic 2, bloodborne, dark souls, pillars of eternity and divinity original sin 2 all come to mind. The book Dune has been a huge inspiration in all my creative work. Movies like Mad Max: Fury Road, Snowpiercer, Dredd, Bladerunner 2049, and Arrival which have excellent character writing and world building. For comics I love me some manga like berserk, one piece, and pluto. Worlds that all feel fleshed out and vibrant, places you want to dive into and explore.

D&D 5e, Dread, Fiasco, could probably learn Call of Cthulhu pretty easily, have played it but not run it. Willing to learn other systems.
Most
Memorable Moment
as DM
"One of the highlights of my DMing career was my first night working with the acclaimed pop-up tavern Orcs! Orcs! Orcs! I met a ton of amazing people and had a blast running the Lovecraftian adaptation that I wrote for that evening. I was interviewed by and featured in the video for the Hypocritical Troll Youtube channel that was there recording that evening. "
Favorite Part
of the Game
"Roleplaying and storytelling!
I am all about getting people into their characters and having them explore tense, emotional situations that create unforgettably memorable interactions between players. That is definitely what made me fall in love with this game."
Favorite RPG inspiration
(books, movies, comics, etc.)
Everything Horror (huge fan), The Dark Crystal, The Neverending Story, Mad Max, 80’s movies, and old school jrpg video games.

(She,Her)
"Compared to some, I am new to DMing, but I’ve been told I’m a natural. I love to help my players tell a good story, and the Rule of Cool reigns supreme. As a non-professional streamer who gives it my all, I run games, I play in games, and I’m becoming known for my NPC voices. If you want to see my style, check out Scarred Lands: Purge of the Serpentholds on The Onyx Path’s twitch."
Games
you can run
D&D 5e, Scarred Lands (5e Variant), Lengendlore (5e Variant), Monster of the Week (PbtA), MonsterHearts 2 (PbtA)
Most
Memorable Moment
as DM
"Recently, I created a sports competition for my players to be spectators at. They spent two hours roleplaying/interacting with this scenario while on a break from the main quest...and I didn’t have the heart to rush them along. By the end of the session, my players said they had never laughed so hard before, even if I gave them a bit of emotional whiplash when the main quest eventually had to rear its head. They enjoyed the hell out of it though, and they’re still laughing about it weeks later."
Favorite Part
of the Game
"I love when my players surprise me with a course of action I didn’t consider. Whether it is silly, ingenious, creative, or downright dastardly...I just love seeing the inventive ways players tackle problems."
Favorite RPG inspiration
(books, movies, comics, etc.)
"I love a good mystery, so a lot of my writing and character tropes for campaigns come from the mystery/suspense genre. I am also a huuuuuge comic book nerd, so Marvel often pops up as a prominent influence."

Let's start
Rolling dice

Digging in the Sand

Bones. So many bones. How many people have been buried here?

You find a rusty long sword and a small, golden vulture head worth 250 gp.

Red Sand

The sand here on the edge of the sacrificial ground is loose and looks recently churned.

Vulture Priest

The Vulture Priests are the enemy of knowledge and enlightenment. They seek to bring the eternal silence, the end of all things. Decay and obedience is their only god.

Armor Class 6 [13]
Hit Dice 1 (4hp)
Attacks 1 × Beak (1d4 or by weapon)
THAC0 19 [0]
Movement 120’ (40’)
Saving Throws D12 W13 P14 B15 S16 (1)
Morale 8 (11 when at their temple)
Alignment Lawful
XP 10 
Number Appearing 2d4 (1d6 × 10)
Treasure Type D
Immune to the Divine: The spells and powers of clerics and paladins have no effect on them.
Weapons: They frequently use wickedly curved daggers, which they use for sacrificial purposes.
Soul Clouders: There is a 10% chance that any Vulture Priest can use the sleep spell once per day. The targets are still awake, but they are beset by such a deep depression that it has the same effect as sleep. They may only watch what unfurls around them.
