About the adventure
Deep below the surface world is a heavily guarded secret - the great cavern of Escuria, the Escurian sea and the denizens that call it home. Once the seat of a great Drow empire, it now lies fractured with factions both old and new vying for power, but where there is struggle there is also opportunity. That is where your characters come in - whether you want to be scrappy mercenaries looking to make your fortune, haughty nobles playing the great game of politics, bold heroes seeking to save the world, or nefarious villains seeking to twist it to your will, Escuria is ripe for the taking. This is my homebrew setting full of rich characters and varied locations that I have been developing in ongoing games for over five years, and I have built it to be as versatile as possible to allow for a variety of genres of campaign, from standard high fantasy, to horror, to grimdark, to swashbuckling adventure. We will tailor the adventure to what your party wants to play, and we can switch between the various genres too.

About me
Greetings Adventurers! I'm a professionally trained actor and have been running TTRPGs for almost a decade, including D&D 5E, PbtA, Blades in the Dark and more. I am happy to run pre-written modules, one shots, or long term homebrew campaigns depending on what the group wants. All my campaigns are run via discord and roll20. If you have any questions or just wanna chat TTRPGs with a fellow enthusiast, please don't hesitate to send me a discord message. I look forward to inviting you to my table!

Because we are using Foundry VTT you will not need physical dice or character sheets, though you are welcome to roll physical dice if you so wish.
What Callam brings to the table
You will have use of my roll20 compendium, including all the major 5E sourcebooks. You will have custom tokens made of your characters, as well as custom made overworld maps and battlemaps to help bring the world of Escuria to life. I have a professional audio setup and a HD webcam so you will be able to hear and see me clearly during the sessions.

How Callam creates a safe table
This game will be tailored to the specific wants and needs of the group, and as such we will have a full session zero before the campaign to discuss Lines and Veils, a PVP Flag system and use of the X-Card, as well as what specific vibe we want for the campaign. I send out a spreadsheet to all of my players ahead of this explaining all of these safety tools and am always happy to discuss any queries or additonal safety tools we want to put in place via discord ahead of the session zero.
