About the adventure
"The world of Eventyr is a vast and mostly undiscovered world. Most of civilization resides in the temperate climate of the continent of Crescere and on the continent of Nothlandia; a harsh arctic tundra that is rich in resources and magical powers. Overall, much of the world remains undiscovered by these civilizations; The Broken Islands lying east of Crescere across the Amethyst Sea, despite having a few established port towns, are mostly yet unexplored forests and jungles. The continent of Masal, lying far to the west across the treacherous Aigean Ocean, has been reached by only a very few explorers brave (or crazy) enough to make the trip. Only a small fraction of those explorers has returned but they returned with tales of unmatched beauties....and terrors. Several Kingdoms and Dynasties have risen and fallen in Crescere and Nothlandia over the last millennium, since the great war, but a few have stood the test of time and now sit as world powers. Our adventure begins in the rugged frontier City of Southport in Nothlandia. You all will have travelled to Southport for your own reasons, but there, your destinies will find you..." Hello and thanks for checking out this game. As you can see, this will be a homebrew campaign in a homebrew world. I have developed this world over several years and have run multiple campaigns in this world with those campaigns now forming part of the world lore. I have developed literally dozens of cities and towns populated with hundreds of interesting and engaging NPC's. This campaign will start off with a few small adventures to bring the party together but meanwhile plotlines will start to develop that revolve around character backstories. There will still be a main plotline to keep the campaign going forward with suitable world ending power type BBEG being revealed once the party is high enough level. This will be a high RP campaign, with several story arcs. Players may need to be patient for their story arc to come, but I guarantee it will. When possible, I will tie multiple PC's storylines into a single arc. I also love fun, challenging combats so there will be no shortage of those. If you have been looking for a game of D&D that caters to your characters ambitions and playing out that story you've always wanted to play, having a good time playing along with others while they do the same, then this is the campaign for you!

About me
Hello! I am a mid 40's father of three. I started playing D&D with my two brothers after the release of 2nd Edition. I now DM games with my wife and three kids, as well as for friends and strangers, both in home games and online. I enjoy world building as well as crafting adventures with my players. I base my campaigns on Player Character's backstories, so every campaign is unique to the party. Seeing or hearing the players reactions when they encounter something from their backstory is probably my favorite part of being a DM....that and combat scenarios that make the party a little nervous and have to think their way through! I have recently semi-retired from work and have found myself with spare time on my hands. I have always loved playing RPG's and decided that I would try DM'ing a couple games a week online as a side gig. Keeps me out of my wife's hair and gives me some extra spending cash to add to my allowance! I am new player friendly, happy to teach the ropes of the game. I have DM'd for people age 7 to 70 and am happy to have any age player at the table. I am also LGBTQ+ friendly. Two of my children are neurodivergent, one is Aspergers and the other is also on the ASD spectrum. I consider my table a safe place for anyone who considers themselves neurodivergent. I do not discriminate against anyone, nor would I ever allow discrimination in any of my games. I also have a hard line zero tolerance policy on any sexual assault related themes, none are allowed at my games. Either of these offences result in immediately being removed from the game. If you want to play in a custom one shot, or a short or long campaign, please feel free to contact me and we can get together for a chat. PS. My daughter selected the profile pic! She said it makes me look like a fun guy!

Creating your character
Characters will start at Level 1. Character creation will be done in D&D Beyond using either the 27 point buy system, standard array or rolling (4d6 drop the lowest), if rolling, it is to be done in Roll20 where all can see. Character creation will happen after Session 0. Come with some character ideas ready, we will discuss as a group and go from there.
This is a great table! The players are fun and all get along well, with lots of great RP. If you are looking for a group where the players get to push the narrative and explore a large, rich world, with plenty of dangers, click that "join campaign" button and send me a message! Characters are at Level 4, and several plot threads have started to develop that intertwine the character backstories. This is an open world campaign with somewhat of a sandbox feel, the storylines that are evolving are completely based on character backstories, with the occasional off the wall side quest. This campaign can run as long as the group decides to keep playing. The party currently consists of: Dragonborn Monk, Yuan-Ti Bard, Dragonborn Fighter and a Simic Hybrid Warlock.

How DarrenC creates a safe table
This game will be played using D&D Beyond for Character Creation, Roll20 for VTT and Discord for Voice and Video (video is optional). No experience is necessary to join this game, but you do need to come ready to play your character! You can expect a good balance of role-play, combat and exploration. Combats will typically feature obstacles such as terrain or weather events that may make things more challenging and fun. Role-play will feature plenty of opportunity for the party to interact amongst themselves as well as with NPC's. Exploration will involve occasional traps and puzzles but will mostly be scoping out cool locations and looking for loot. There will be a free Session 0 before we start the campaign where we will discuss character ideas as a group and make sure all the characters can work together. I consider my games to be a safe place for players, please see my GM Profile if you want more info!
