Hey! You should be watching this D&D 5E homebrew low-magic western-inspired streaming actual play campaign Tabletopnotch's latest called Brunkhollow!!!

Brunkhollow is quite good. Full of neat homebrew mechanics and adjustments to allow for their unique setting where magic is rare/controlled by oppressive godly magic wielders simply referred to (for now?) as "Clerics".

Join TC, Kayt, Illien, Doxley, and Morna (who are all so deliciously sussssss!!) in the old-west themed new territory of Brunkhollow. "Safe" from the Clerics' heavy, hand these five newcomers (called "Fleabags" by the townsfolk) will try to make a new start...or is it escape their pasts? or get up to nefarious business? or all three?!

Come for the story and characters, stay for DM Matt Taylor's goblin voices. The Twitch stream also features fun games at the halftime break. Episodes are a digestible 2 hours or so each and at the time of posting this campaign is on episode 10.

Brunkhollow is a low-magic campaign, where most magics disappeared (wiped off the planet by the gods?) years ago, and only Clerics use magic. They're highly regarded as Bad News, so make sure you don't run across one! In any case, Brunkhollow centres around this group of people arriving in a new town called, you guessed it, Brunkhollow! This town is only about a year old, and is surrounded by something called the Cusp, which is important to remember when travelling there, as Brunkhollow is known as a "blind-spot to the gods", and no magic or Clerics can be found here. It's a godless place, and gives big Deadwood vibes honestly. Everyone here is trying to get by, find work, start a business. It's said that the only reason anyone comes to Brunkhollow is because "they're either running from something or coming to find someone".

Anyways the DM is amazing, the way he truly inhabits each NPC as he plays them, the physicality and descriptions and voices are just stellar, all the player characters are amazing and I love them, I always think I have a favourite and it changes every twenty minutes or so, I'm only on episode four but I've been watching bits and pieces via YouTube shorts and Instagram for months, seriously the props and the maps and the roleplay and the battles, it's all so good, please go check them out!! They're on YouTube, Twitch (they stream on Sundays!), they have a Discord server which is the most active place for fans, and a TikTok which they also stream on and post clips to!
