THE FOREST KNOWS YOUR NAME | A Folk Horror Adventure
“First, it takes your pain. Then, it takes the rest.”
People are vanishing into the woods. Those who return are too calm, too kind, eyes gleaming green with something they won’t name. The forest, they say, heals. But something inside it is stirring. And it knows your name.
They say it starts small. A dream. A whisper. A pattern of leaves appearing on your skin. The forest doesn’t take you all at once, it lulls you in. Until your thoughts aren’t quite your own.
Deeper in, you’ll find a peace that doesn’t feel earned. A comfort that erases who you were. To resist it is to bleed. To accept it is to vanish.
And at the heart of it all lies something ancient, hungry, and waiting. You’ll have to face it. But not everything that threatens you bears teeth, some things grow from within.

About Me
I picked up D&D at age eleven with the 1977 Blue Box, have explored other of RPG systems since, and have GMed over the years. Recently, I dove deep into Daggerheart’s narrative rules and fell in love with how it empowers both players and GM to co-create cinematic, story-driven moments. I can’t wait to share Daggerheart adventures with you.
