Adding extra quests and material for existing adventure books is always fun! Here is the latest addition:Mud & Treasure!A free mini-adventure set in the Mirewood of Heroes’ Call to Adventure. If you’re ready to lead your party through treacherous swamps in search of long-lost riches, you’ve come to the right place. 😃

We’re excited to share a little bonus content that can add an extra layer of immersion to your roleplaying sessions: the Mirewood Weather Table!
Originally crafted to complement the atmospheric setting of our latest adventure, Heroes’ Call to Adventure, this table works equally well for many campaign settings. Whether your party is trekking through misty forests, navigating open plains, or exploring mysterious valleys, this table will help you quickly and evocatively describe the start and continuation of the party’s adventuring day! Use the table to:
Create a sense of time passing during journeys
Set the mood for the setting and for wilderness encounters
Allow something small to happen in-between combat encounters and adventure set-pieces
Add an element of unpredictability to the setting: changing visibility and calamitous weather may have a direct impact on the party’s genius plans… 😉
The table was inspired by the rich, enigmatic forest featured in Heroes’ Call to Adventure. Check out the adventure book for levels 1-3 here: Heroes’ Call.

Low-level adventures have a special charm, where even the smallest creature can pose a threat, and characters must rely on their wits rather than a hoard of magic items. This book embraces the spirit of classic D&D. Yes, it all begins at an inn, nestled within a dark forest. If this spirit of adventuring speaks to you, join us and help bring this book to life!
It’s my pleasure to announce that The Night Owl is officially becoming a company – hooray! 🎺 What began as inspired adventure writing late at night is now reaching a critical mass. I see this as just the start of our journey to make The Night Owl adventures even better and reach more people in the future.
The company is being registered in Sweden, a country that has proven to be an excellent hub for various game developers. I hope that the ‘Swedish gaming wonder’ can provide an additional source of inspiration for crafting The Night Owl adventure books into their absolute best.
The logo with an owl sitting on the moon has received a fresh little overhaul and some extra TLC too!
I’m also thrilled to soon be able to share details about my upcoming project, which happens to be my most ambitious one yet! So, make sure your mounts, companions, and allies are well-fed and content, and stay tuned for some epic adventures! 🐎🐲🔥⚔️😊
