Your wizard mentor has been missing for days, and after receiving a message from his arcane familiar, you make haste to his castle to aid him in whatever dreadful predicament has befallen him. This gothic adventure features puzzles, riddles, and monster encounters. It is a mystery that you unravel to deeper and deeper layers as you explore the magical castle and piece together what has become of High Wizard Zdravno. The Eldritch Castle module includes: • 60-page module • Animated scenes (streamable YouTube playlists and downloadable files) • Soundtrack • Digital illustrations of the fantastical scenes throughout the module
Hello everyone! Happy New Year!
Holidays and illness walloped me good, but I'm getting back on track. Backerkit surveys will be going out within just a few days, so look out for those emails.

A subtle flash ripples across the door, and there comes the sound of it unsealing. You open the heavy stone panel to find a small, yet wondrous chamber beyond!
I want to thank each and every one of you who backed this project, who believed in me. This module is one that I’m genuinely proud of, and it’s going to be so cool to have Eldritch Castle in our hands. It’s amazing to know that lots of people out there will be exploring this mysterious tale.
BackerKit surveys and initial fulfillment steps will begin within the next 2 weeks (you’ll receive emails). Then we’ll have a quick turnaround on the production of this module, and I’ll be setting my sights on the next project!
May your adventures be many,
Esper
The little devil flies up onto the throne at the top of the dais. “Why, a visitor. Do come in, come in.”
Hello all! I'm packing a bunch of news into this update.
My fellow youtuber Wally DM made this video in which he creates and walks through one of the major puzzle rooms in Eldritch Castle—the dragon statue room.
I also want to take a moment to cross-promote his new project, The Quintessential Guide to Urban Encounters. He along with Dungeon Dad, Mr. Tarrasque, and JVC Parry are working on a new book of creative encounter scenarios for 5e. Check out their project on BackerKit.
Another fellow youtuber, Tabletop Bob, is running Eldritch Castle as a livestream series. He and his group have already completed 2 sessions, and they were a hoot to watch! It's so cool to see the players explore (and bumble) through Castle Zdravno.
To everyone who's backed Eldritch Castle so far, you have my hearty thanks! I'm very much looking forward to you all enjoying this adventure in your own games.
Until next time, my brave companions.

Add-ons are now available for everyone who backs Eldritch Castle. Actually they were supposed to have been there from the start, but somehow that door remained lock. Well, it's unlocked now!
“Very well! You are welcome to enter!” says the monstrous face.
There is a sound of the door being unlocked by some unseen force. You ascend the steps and open it. Out of the overcast day and into the castle you go …
