Adventures in Asyela
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
"The world is changing. The great clash between the forces of the Hallowed Kingdom and the Locent Empire shocked the world. No longer were battles fought between skirmishers in the West or campaigns of bloodless conquest in the East. They had become brutal struggles for survival, with thousands of men dying for scraps of land and territory. This realization caused many to try and adapt and others to dig in their heels and ignore the truth. In the West, the Kainin Federation sits in its isolationist opulence, content to ignore the growing threat of the Locent Empire and leave the Hallowed Kingdom to its fate. They have other matters to worry about, as the drum beats of a thousand tribes of monstrous creatures echoes from the Wild Continent. In the East, the victory over the Hallowed Kingdom galvanized the populace of the Locent Empire into a new wave of national pride and vigor. While the public may be elated with the victory, the leadership of the Locent Empire's are at each other's throats. As they desperately avoid implication, the Emperor begins to figure out who’s to blame for the meager conquests they managed and plans his next assault. In between the East and West is the Hallowed Kingdom, where a political problem of their own is brewing. Over the last century, the Kingdom has been slowly eroding, a once proud and powerful monarchy slowly falling away to factionalism and bureaucratic bloat. The Great War did little to change it. Forces internally have tried to reform, but have been swept aside by those in power who wish to simply stick their heads in the sand. The lands, peoples, and conflicts of Asyela are varied and diverse. Where will you choose to start your adventure? Which sides will you choose in the coming wars? What secrets can be uncovered throughout the world? Will you forge your own destiny or aid anothers? Asyela is a world where fortunes can be made and glory can be won. Are you willing to answer the call?" Adventures in Asyela is a high fantasy adventure where the players can choose their own destiny. I work closely with each player to help hand craft the character that you wish to play and ensure their time in Asyela is full of adventure. Once the party is formed and the starting location picked, you can set about fulfilling the journey of your dreams!
Game Master Reviews (10)
Donny is one of the best DMs I've played with. He does an amazing job of creating NPCS and worlds that live and breathe and feel real. His stories are interesting that grab and engage me the entire way. He loves to communicate with his players outside the game as well. All in all, he is one of the best DMs I've played with.
Donny is an incredible DM. His world building is top notch, and his ability to immerse his players in his worlds is incredible. I have been playing in his campaign for almost a year now and over that year, the party has laughed and cried in equal measure. He is great at incorporating emotional elements of character's backstories, giving everyone at the table equal time to shine. His ability to improvise is incredible, working with anything we throw at him. I have also played in a variety of his one shots. He is also great at creating shorter stories, giving the players an interesting story background while still managing to keep the main interest within a single one shot session. He is a welcoming DM, helping me out as I was just learning how to play. He is encouraging and helps his players wherever he can, especially those who are a little shier with RP. I have never played with a more skilled and accommodating DM.
Donovan has been an incredible GM so far in my experience. His ability to make every player feel important and like they're actively influencing the story is phenomenal. His one shots and campaigns have been very fun experiences, they helped me grow as a player and through his help i also was able to learn to become a GM myself. I would highly recommend any game that he runs. You will be in for a ride.
Donovan is an excellent DM. One of the finest I've ever had the pleasure of playing with. His storytelling is top notch and I quickly found myself immersed in setting and story. There is always a great balance of RP and combat opportunities that allow the PCs to grow. He cares about his players, and he does everything he can to make sure we have a joyful experience while also making you feel like you're having a real impact on the world around you. Thank you for being an amazing GM, I would highly recommend.

How to prepare
A Roll20 account and Discord account are required programs to play. A microphone is required for communication on discord, however, a webcam is up to personal preference. If you have any trouble with setting any of this up, I am more than happy to assist in any way that I can.
What I provide
I will be bringing my absolute best to ensure a safe and fun environment each week. I am available nearly all the time for questions and conversation on my Discord and do my best to respond to messages in a timely manner.
Gameplay details
My #1 rule for any group is that everyone is having fun and is comfortable with the game. During Session 0, we will go over content warning and potential triggers, as well as in private if the need arises. I am available at any time to discuss what you may want or not want in a game or if certain content in or during a session is okay or not okay. If my players are honest with about their expectations, then I am able to treat them with the respect they deserve.
