Background

As the twin moons of Allorea gently danced across the heavens, a curious mind in a candlelit room was busily at work. Hamel, the curator of Hamel’s House of Oddities, meticulously combed through a sizable stack of notes, sketches, and thoughts relating to his lifelong pursuit of an ancient civilization, the First Alloreans. Sparse historical references or physical evidence existed of the civilization in modern culture, but he aspired to determine the location of a temple, built several thousands of years ago during the Divine Age, that might provide unprecedented insight into the ancient world, a structure referred to by its makers as the Temple of All Thought.

Character Journey

Through a direct association with Hamel, the curator of Hamel’s House of Oddities, and his lifelong pursuit of ancient wisdom, a party of characters will embark on a fantastic journey fraught with perilous wonders throughout the region of Shadow’s Reach within six chapters of content.







Edit

The Breathless Sea

Separating the great continents of Allorea, the Breathless Sea lays bare all those who sail upon its unfathomable waters to contemplate their purpose and place among the stars. While this phenomenon has left many feeling enlightened, others, overwhelmed by its unbearable presence, have been driven to the brink of madness.

Oldenwood Forest

A vast and expansive forest range, the Oldenwoods form the eastern border of the valley of Shadow’s Reach. Largely untouched by the conquests of humans and dwarves, the forest is home to many wild creatures and unnatural phenomena.

The Swallows

This swamp is a thriving ecosystem that rests along the shores of the Breathless Sea. While the threat of its lurking inhabitants is significant, there are portions of the swamp considered even more treacherous where the terrain can swallow up even the most cautious intruder.

Moonward Mountains

The valley of Shadow’s Reach is bordered to the north and east by a mountain range known as the Moonward Mountains. Storms that fall upon the area are amplified by the 

Wyrlic River

Originating from the eternal springs deep within the Oldenwoods, the Wyrlic river winds gently westward bathing the valley in its soothing song until it joins the waters of the Breathless Sea. The elves of old have written many poems and songs dedicated to its beauty.


Edit


Personalities

Interacting with the many personalities within the region will be crucial for the character’s journey throughout the campaign. Each personality within the storyline is thoughtfully created and detailed to aid the Storyteller in bringing them to life for the players, including backgrounds, personality traits, stats, common sayings, and relationships.


Magic Items

Throughout the chapters of the storyline, magic has been formed through either the creation of individuals or by natural means. Characters will interact and, at times, evolve magic items that they discover on their journey, providing a path toward the personalization of powers and tools.


Creatures

The creatures that inhabit the different environments of Shadow’s Reach have been designed to challenge and reward the characters as they venture into the wild. Possessing traits and features that aid in their survival, these creatures can be especially difficult to deal with in their own habitat.

The ENNIE Awards (the “ENNIES”) are an annual, fan-driven celebration of excellence in tabletop roleplaying games. Dedicated to recognizing outstanding achievement, the ENNIES honor the designers, writers, artists, and publishers whose creativity and passion shape the hobby. As a true people’s choice award, final winners are determined by online votes from the global gaming community.

This year, in collaboration with BackerKit, nominees from 2025 are coming together to further celebrate all the amazing games and products that were part of the ENNIES last year by launching ready-to-ship projects featuring their dominated game/product.

MORE ABOUT THE ENNIES

Founded in 2001, the ENNIES began as an online awards program hosted by EN World, the leading D&D/d20 system fan site, in partnership with Eric Noah’s Unofficial D&D 3rd Edition News. Originally owned by Russ Morrissey until 2019, the awards have grown alongside the hobby itself. What started as an internet-based recognition program has evolved into a prestigious annual awards ceremony held at Gen Con.

Over the years, the ENNIES have expanded beyond their d20 roots to celebrate excellence across the full spectrum of tabletop roleplaying games. With categories recognizing everything from core game components to beloved product types, fan-driven websites, and more, the ENNIES provide fans with a meaningful way to acknowledge exceptional work—and to say “thank you”—to the creators who make tabletop roleplaying games extraordinary.

Let’s celebrate these amazing creators one more time, and who knows, you may discover your new favorite game within.
