Castleton is a system agnostic setting book, so it can be used with any TTRPG system 👍

There’s a lot of interesting characters in @winterstalesco.bsky.social’s Castleton, but @arcaneanthems.com’s Orpheum holds a place in my brain eternally as they begged a fellow demigod to not choose violence, before ripping their own face open to try and stop them.

An award-winning producer, @seum.bsky.social is the unseen hand behind WWP's charity actual plays, from Eden Falls and Paradise Lost, to The Fourth Age. As a TTRPG performer, she can be seen as Ottilia on @winterstalesco.bsky.social Castleton, and Egrik in @captainrobear.com's Vecna: Eve of Ruin.
