About the adventure
To the north, the wilds of Lazlo's Hold have begun to open up their riches to brave adventurers. Stonehell prison is ripe for the looting, if you can navigate the dangers and factions within. Strange toad-headed men not seen for 200 years have been spotted near the Wyrdwood. And in the south? Rumors of elemental evil, thought defeated a decade ago, have begun to resurface near the village of Hommlet... ----- In this open-world experience, you'll be joining a band of adventurers to find fame and fortune and explore the wilds of Tribania! You'll have the chance to explore many of the most famous and best adventures, both old classics and new masterpieces ... you can go anywhere at any time! The party currently has threads in Stonehell, the underground Halls of a Toad-King, and has delved into some goblin-infested ruins. And at the moment, the group is starting fresh with backup characters to explore the classic Village of Hommlet and the Temple of Elemental Evil! You can expect to experience: • A weekly game with a patient, reliable, organized, and flexible DM. • An easy-to-learn & light ruleset - you survive by your wits, not what's on your character sheet! • A player-driven world that changes based on your decisions. • An interesting wilderness full of secrets to uncover and locations to explore. • Dangerous and exciting dungeons to delve into for treasure and magical artifacts of an age gone by. • NPCs, both for hire and in your travels, that feel real. • A relaxed, fun atmosphere that feels like a home game - we've been going for over a year now! New players are welcome at *any point* in the adventure! I'll bring you on board and get you playing in no time! The nature of the system & game we're playing means folks can float in and out pretty easily. You can even join for just a session or two if you want to see what it's like. :) ADVENTURE AWAITS! (You can see the full details and an FAQ in Discord: https://discord.gg/7wCNKwUN2z) ----- Note: It's a dangerous business, going out your door. Dungeons are deadly, so you might want to make a backup character, just in case! (On the bright side, they're quick to make.) Also, while there absolutely are things going on in this moving world, and factions and NPCs have things that they want, there isn't an overarching traditional "plot." The story of this game is the one that *you* tell!
Every Saturday! OSE Basic & Advanced. NEW PLAYERS WELCOME ANY TIME! It's a steady group going for over a year now, but the nature of this particular world means you can easily join in at any time.

How to prepare
You'll need Discord--reasonable quality voice required, video optional but highly encouraged. That's it! I have some reading material in the Discord channel as well once you're in.
What I provide
I'll bring a Foundry VTT world ready to go, a welcoming Discord server, a decade of teaching experience, and a dedication to making sure we all have fun!
Gameplay details
We'll be using & respecting safety tools. The whole point is to have fun together! I'm pretty flexible in how we get to that fun, so you'll submit a content guidelines form ahead of the game to help guide me in what the table is comfortable and not comfortable with so I can adapt accordingly. As a general rule, you can step away at any time for any reason (if nothing else: I have toddlers. I get it.). X/N/O cards can be simply typed in the Foundry chat at any time, direct messaged on Discord or in Foundry chat, or even spoken aloud. After I bring the game to a formal close each session, we can decompress and talk about the game and the experience. You are more important than the game.

How will character creation work
Characters are quick and easy to make, and always start at 1st level. We'll create yours in your onboarding call. ========== When you join up, we'll schedule a short onboarding call - a chill chance to ask questions, get your character sorted, talk about safety tools & Foundry, and give you a quick overview of the world we're playing in. You'll get a sense if the game's the right one for you, and if it is ... you're ready for adventure!
