The Shrike RPG

Enter The Shrike - a colossal, modular sandbox adventure set in an abandoned fragment of Hell.

A heaven-harrowing blade forged to punish a nameless God, The Shrike is a black iron mountain of serrated spires, rust, and divine decay. Piercing the heart of a fallen deity, its bleeding wound feeds strange life into the corroded iron and stone of this megastructure.

Written by Leo Hunt (Vaults of Vaarn), The Shrike is designed for Old School Essentials but easily adaptable to any d20-based fantasy system. Step into a world of decay - rusted iron, saltwater, blood, fog, and ruin - where divine ichor fuels impossible life across a hellish archipelago beneath pitiless stars.

In this infernal Galapagos, you’ll encounter masked Devils, monsters born of divine blood, and treasures from beyond the planes.

What’s Inside:

• 46 unique pointcrawl locations across the Shores, fiery Guts, and snow-capped Exterior of the Shrike - plus a procedurally generated depth-crawl through its surreal, shifting Barb.
• 3 fully detailed dungeons, from the Cove of Iron Coffins to Gamigin’s Starforge, and the endless masquerade within The Palace of the Heart.
• 5 scheming factions of diabolic Courts and a host of richly detailed NPCs.
• 3 new classes - become an Imp, a Forged, or a Rampant Partial, shaped by the God’s blood into bodies both divine and monstrous.
• 40+ terrifying monsters, including the eyegouger finch and auric homunculus.
• 37 new and peculiar magic items.
• 1 Nameless God, still impaled upon the Shrike’s infernal thorn - writhing, bleeding, and desperate to escape.

A vast, atmospheric descent into rust, ruin, and divine punishment - The Shrike awaits.
