About the adventure
Incredible worlds to visit! 🗺️ Delicious foods to try! 🍲 Dangerous monsters to battle! 👹 A flickering beacon in the mists of the ethereal sea, the Radiant Citadel is a place of hope and wonder, and a hub of commerce and culture. Within the citadel you will find the Trade Discal, a massive melting-pot of a marketplace where food and art from across worlds can be found. As a small but ambitious business (perhaps a restaurant or a trading company), you will need to seek out new partners and producers. But some ventures will be more than you bargained for, and sometimes you'll need to step up and lend a hand! This is a 5e campaign for 3-6 adventurers and will span from level 1 to 14, or perhaps beyond. Much of the campaign will be theater of the mind, with tactical maps for most combats. This is a tale of building connections, vibrant worlds, and exciting adventures.

About me
(he/him) Salutations! My name is Joshua, and I facilitate cooperative storytelling experiences. I have been GMing for 27 years with nearly 10,000 hours at the table behind the GM screen. Home games, con games, Short games, and long games. Simple, mysterious, Silly, or serious; I've run them. I believe that RPGs should be a safe playground where players can explore identities and ideas while feeling welcome and empowered. I design and facilitate my campaigns to center the player characters, weaving them into the world and building it up around them. My favorite genre is fractured fairy tales and fresh retellings of classic stories.

Creating your character
We will discuss character ideas and the party's backstory during Session 0. Please send your character sheet to me at least 24 hours before the Session 1 for approval. I am available to talk through character creation ahead of time, and can provide a pre-generated character upon request. Player characters are 1st level with starting equipment. Use the Standard Array or 27 Point Buy for ability scores. Any officially published material is available for use, and homebrew and customization will be allowed, subject to review.
Party Composition: (Level 14) Paladin/Fighter, Artificer, Rogue/Warlock, Bloodhunter/Fighter, Wizard, Fighter Join the rowdy crew of Radiant Ratings & Rugs - a travel agency that solves and causes problems in equal measure. Silly antics, disconcerting ethics, and occasional PvP. Honestly, it isn't clear if we're the good guys... But we're trying!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A microphone is required to participate. A webcam is encouraged, but not necessary. I will have my camera on, and I'd love to see you too! We will be using Discord and Roll20 to play, so you will need (free) accounts for both of them. You might want to download the Discord client as well. Dice and character sheets will be handled within Roll20. You will be expected to have access to any source books or other content your character is built using unless you are using a pre-generated character.
What Joshua brings to the table
As GM, I will provide the adventure itself, including maps and tokens. I can provide pre-generated characters on request. Dice rolling may be handled through Roll20, through D&D Beyond (with the Beyond20 browser extension), or with physical dice.

Safety
How Joshua creates a safe table
Journey Through the Radiant Citadel is adventure story of both human plots and supernatural dangers. This game will contain elements of violence and peril comparable to a PG-13 rated film. Please let me know if there are additional things I need to be aware of to maintain your comfort and safety. Racism, transphobia, ableism, and all other discrimination will not be tolerated.
