Dead demons are heavier than broken hearts. A Noir P.I. Story.

Don your trench coat and fedora; it's time to get dirty in the back alleys, sewers, and board rooms of a mega-city with a few too many planar portals.

About the adventure

This bloody city is just crawling with demons and devils. The government is too broken to find them, so there's a lot of money out there to find them and take them out. Care to throw your hat in the ring? ๐Ÿ‘ฟ Track down fiends that are infiltrating a massive city that was, until recently, prosperous. ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ Run a detective agency, choose what cases to take, decide between the big pay day or helping the little folks. โš” Choose when and how to engage in combat; get to know the city, figure out the clues, and set ambushes for your prey. ๐Ÿ—กDeal with clients; some honestly need your help, some are probably going to stab you in the back. ๐Ÿ’Ž Score gear and magic by helping out the local mages and temples. ๐Ÿ‘’ Find out just how cool you look in a fedora and trench coat while standing in the rain. The city of Rarrk was a prosperous city, before the war. The war is over now, and the veil between worlds is so thin, so permeable. With so much of the kingdom's leadership wiped out or missing, there's no one to keep order, to keep hope up. As a monster hunting specialist, you can make a difference in this city, at very least to your bottom line. Inspired by classic noir detective stories and the darkest of fairy tales.

About me

Hey folks! I'm Pete, known online as StenBjorn! I run Stone Bear Crafting and Games, a business dedicated to painting miniatures, 3d printing, building terrain, writing adventures, and helping customers have an awesome gaming experience! I've been playing D&D since family introduced me to the game in the late 80s. I have played and Game Mastered through a multitude of editions, learned other game systems, and never stopped loving storytelling through games, and hanging out with cool people! It is very important to me that everyone is welcome at my table. I'm happy to teach and believe learning is constant, and that when we're sitting at the table, we're all working together as a team. In that spirit, I don't tolerate bigotry of any sort. I want my games to be a safe space for group fun and growth and amazing storytelling! I do not use generative AI in any of my games or productions.

Character creation

Creating your character

Character creation will take place in D&D Beyond or Foundry if you're comfortable with that, with all official WotC content being on the table. We are currently at level 9. Character creation is a collaborative process, so we'll work together to get you set in the world!

The current party

Over 100 sessions in, but the team could use some new... blood. Currently level 10 and dealing with strange cases and loose threads that need pulling! We have a rogue/artificer, a blood hunter, a cleric, and a sorcerer currently! This campaign is over 2 years old and still going strong, so if you're looking for a reliable team, this is definitely a good one! Mid-campaign sign ups still get full on-boarding and session 0, as well as caught up on what's happened so far, so if you sign up same day, we will likely get you in to the campaign in time for next week's session!

Preparing for the session

How Pete - StenBjorn creates a safe table

My games tend to put story first, and I encourage role playing and creative thinking! Big swings are fun! I will provide combat, exploration, puzzles, and plenty of role playing opportunities! These games donโ€™t work if we donโ€™t think like a team, and work best when weโ€™re all working together. I expect players at my table to respect each other, the story, and me. We will be working together to explore characters and tell a story. Optimization of your character is fine, but if math is the main attraction of the game for you, my table may not be what youโ€™re looking for. I treat RPGs not as games to be won, but experiences to be built. I enjoy challenging combats and will throw them your way, but they have to serve the story. I ask all my players to be good to each other! Be cool, and we shall have a great time together. I donโ€™t strictly follow Rules As Written, but I donโ€™t deviate from RAW for no reason. That being said, I definitely believe in the rule of cool, as long as it doesnโ€™t bend reality, and I use a few house rules for fun, flavour, and ease of use. These will be talked about in session 0. My games are for a mature audience, and I swear like a pirate when itโ€™s appropriate(in character). I welcome anyone to chat about expectations, but I do aim for an adult game, and as these games are fantasy/sci-fi, there will be conflict and violence and raised voices. I use the X(red), N(yellow), and O(green) card system during game play. This functions through Foundry with the /whisper gm command and as a module. No explanation is needed when these are used. Before we start I will also be asking everyone to fill out the Digital RPG Consent Checklist by Kienna Shaw and Lauren Bryant-Monk(Adapted from Monte Cook Games). I have a zero tolerance policy for harassment or discrimination of any sort, including race, creed, colour, gender, sexual orientation, etc. I(the GM) reserve the right to remove a player immediately if they are in violation of this rule.
