Learn to play Valor: Reborn Within the Stones Of Awakening
Valor: the Heroic Roleplay System | Campaign
About the adventure
This is an continuing Valor: Heroic Roleplaying campaign! I hope to show off the strengths of the system over the course of this minicampaign. The year is 2047, and you’re about to get way too into your favorite MMO. After the plagues of the Screaming Twenties, virtual reality finally took off. Now everyone meets in virtual spaces, like the fantasy MMO, The Wonders of Mundus. Weeks ago, you woke up in the gameworld of Mundus, as your avatar, nerfed to first level. Now, you’re working together to unravel a mystery: who trapped you in The Stones Of Awakening, and why? - A new introductory Valor minicampaign! - A sci-fi isekai romp through a virtual fantasy gameworld! - Based on the Wonders of Mundus novels! - New rules for exploration, hex crawls, and treasure! - Example characters and character templates provided! For Levels 1-5 / Season One Characters
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
This particular game will be in a new part of the setting based on Norman France at the end of the middle ages. I will be happy to walk you through character creation and picking up the rules. Presently we have a frontline warrior-psychic, a bard with support and storm magic, and an exorcist specialized in binding magical beings and mages. Please do not use ChatGPT or similar generative AI programs to create a character: they do not and cannot know the rules and will cheerfully suggest characters that do not work.

Additional details
How to prepare
Webcam and mic optional but welcome. You will need a proper computer; Roll20's claim that a phone is sufficient is bogus. No experience necessary; Roll20 will handle character sheets and character creation, as well as dice rolls.
What I provide
I will provide illustrations of your characters post-game and voice through a Discord channel, as well as a Roll20 pro account and access to all the necessary rulebooks, maps and tokens.
Gameplay details
We'll be using the tactical combat rules. The world of Mundus and the Virtual 2040's have a lot of worldbuilding behind it, inspired by the real renaissance. This game is as much about who your characters are in mundane life as it is about who they chose to play in the MMO.
