    Play the Game. Lose Control. Feed the God. What begins as a simple missing persons case quickly spirals into a descent through obsession, curses, and cult sacrifices. Ascendancy of Nur’Ry’Za is a full-length adventure set in a monastery high atop a remote mountain where a cursed game is dominating minds and feeding the bottomless hunger of a dark eldritch entity.

    Welcome to issue 179 of Lightspeed Magazine!This month we’re serializing an original SF novelette by Sarah Langan: “Does Harlen Lattner Dream of Infected Sheep?” I won’t give away the plot, but go in knowing that it’s darkly critical of the current state of the world, a little bit heartfelt, and possibly contains a fun smidge of body horror.

I just published a 5e-compatible D&D adventure I wrote on @roll20 and @drivethrurpg! "Ascendancy of Nur'Ry'Za" is a monk-centric adventure designed for 5 PCs of 5th or 6th level. Included with the adventure is an original Way of Control monk subclass. https://t.co/xZ9vvybeAR https://t.co/W7SxhiDdF5
