About the adventure
The land of Olleyos is a mystical land of the arts and culture that has be ostracized from the rest of the material plane. Ruled by the old God of Devotion, Devos Maal, the land is the property of the mortals-turned-Gods and the people are their playthings. Our heroes are each, in some way, descendants of these gods known as The Devoted and they have been assembled to fight an on-coming disaster. Guided by omens whispered from beyond the grave these demi-gods and outcasts must fight destiny itself. 🎭 - Greek/Roman Inspired Setting: Demi-Gods and Cursed Mortals of a Hedonist Pantheon of Reckless Gods 📜 - Story Tailored to the Party/Player's Decisions: Become the Heroes of a Nation, Wanted Vigilantes or Side with the Enemies ⏳ - Homebrew World that Evolves with Game Choices: 8 Active Campaigns all set in the Same World, At the Same Time 🏹 -Level 3-20 Adventure Divided into 3 Acts: 1 Country Level Crisis (Levels 3-8), 1 Continent Level Crisis (Levels 9-14), 1 World Level Crisis (Levels 15-20) 🤝 - Diplomacy and Role-Play Paths Always Available: In-Depth NPC's and Enemies that can be Befriended or Exploited with Smart Decision Making 🎲 - Custom Crafted Mechanics for Party's Unique Situations: RP Mechanics, Skill Challenges and Resource/Group Management Mechanics Designed for Your Group ✨ - All Skill Levels Welcome at All My Tables: Whether New To D&D, TTRPG's or just Role-Play I'm Experienced with Teaching Many First-Time Players This game is set in my own homebrew setting with it's own pantheon and unique lore but we will be using Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition as our ruleset of course. My games are role-play heavy with an emphasis on fun and laughs but that doesn't mean there wont be plenty of epic battles along the way! The story will hopefully travel along many different themes throughout our play time and I love to evolve my plot based around the characters that my players create. So expect many twists and turns along the way. Most importantly my game is inclusive above all other things. I will not allow harassment in any form at my tables and if you cannot respect other players then you will not be invited back. I like to create a fun and inviting environment for all and I expect my players respect that. If you have any questions, please do not be afraid to reach out and ask!

About me
Howdy folks! I go by ChrispE but you can call me Chris. I have been playing D&D and other tabletop RPGs for over 12 years now and ever since i have been cursed with a horrible fate... The fate of the FOREVER GM! However, I have persevered and turned my curse into a blessing. Using it to craft a large, ever-evolving homebrew world of unique characters for my players to explore; and now I want to share it with YOU! I run two games every weekend which I livestream to Twitch, if you'd like to check out how i run my games you can check them out on https://twitch.tv/chrispe_vdl or on youtube under ChrispE_VDL. I run respectful games for all people and will not tolerate harassment in any form at ANY of my tables, so if you are looking for a fun and safe place to meet fellow TTRPG fanatics then reach out and say "Hi!" I'll be running games in D&D 5th Edition as well as Star Wars 5th Edition in the near future but am open to new games as requested!

What to expect
Preparing for the session
A prepared player is the best player! Only a mic is required and the ability to use foundry. I ask that you come prepared with your character ready and updated in Foundry VTT before each session and obey the rules established at the table before we start.
What Chris "ChrispE" VDL brings to the table
I will prepare many different items and plot points in Foundry before the session. I have mods for importing my own owned content from the core books and more, as well as the D&D Beyond importer for all who use their site. I am an artist and I homebrew all of my settings with hand drawn maps. I can prepare simple drawings of your characters and other descriptions as needed but I will also do elaborate commission art of your character if you would like to purchase it!
