About the adventure

What can you expect? *A vast and living world that shapes according to your actions and decisions. *Your backstory is important and will definitely be used in the campaign. *Many interesting NPCs that you will love to hate or hate to love. *Lots of Roleplaying with many different character voices and personalities. *Fair but challenging combat that keeps you engaged. *A open-minded DM who enjoys constructive criticism. *A safe environment for everyone to play. What is the theme? *Medieval fantasy, imagine if Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones were put together. What is the setting? *The continent of Alheim had been under the control of the Empire for a thousand years, but that came to an end with the assassination of the Empire's Council. Without anyone to attest to the identity of the masked Emperor, the Empire crumbled under the many allegations of power. However many lost credibility besides two of them. The recently crowned queen of Azura Elizabeth Grace, who was previously called the Red Princess. The Second General of the Empire, Damocles Corvinus. The Empire was divided along with its supporters. Many cities went independent. While Elizabeth kept the strength of Azura, Damocles took the city of Sorvenin as the base of his empire. The two raced to make allies and gather strength. Currently, the continent is in a state of cold war, small battles are fought but the two are reluctant to move their armies as no significant advantage has been set for either side. All that is left is to wait and see what will be of Alheim and Athyria’s future.

About me

Hi my name is Mathew and I would love to be your DM. I have been a DM for 13 years now and have been a full time DM for quite a while. I am also a teacher who just loves to play D&D and someone who got inspired by watching others play. I really enjoy roleplaying and making NPCs, personalities, and voices. But mainly love to watch players roleplay and develop their own characters and stories. I welcome everyone who just wants to enjoy a friendly and fun time playing RPG. Everyone can create amazing stories and have great outcomes and I am here to help you with that. :D

Character creation

Creating your character

Character creation will happen in session zero with my help. But those with the experience and the content in D&D beyond can come with the character ready if following these options for content: The Player’s Handbook. Xanathar’s Guide to Everything. Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse. Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything. Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos. Any homebrew can be considered if the DM looks at it beforehand. Nothing game-breaking of course.

The current party

Beginner friendly. Come and create your own story :D

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Only a mic will be required, but if the players prefer to open the camera if they so wish that's fine. All of the following can be done in session zero, but what will be needed of the player is: Google Chrome or Opera GX. Above VTT extension in on of these browsers. D&D Beyond account. Discord Account.

What Mateus DM brings to the table

Everything needed for you to have a good time. Maps, images, voices, jokes, respect, empathy and excitement.

Safety

How Mateus DM creates a safe table

This campaign will have quite a lot of Roleplaying but also a fair share of combat depending on player choices. The choices you make will affect the story and shape the world. Player backstory will be used and tied with the campaign story. Roleplaying will always be rewarded with inspiration of even a lower CD depending on the effort. Session Zero will be to discuss what to expect from the campaign, remove any of your doubts, but also make sure the environment is safe for everyone. I will always be open to talk and sort things out in the best way possible for everyone. Alheim is a very political but also villain-heavy campaign, you will make many enemies on the way that you will love to defeat in the future. However, you can expect many interesting and friendly NPCs as well, who will be there to help, fight and laugh with you. Any concerns over any topics can be talked about in session zero but also during the campaign if needed. I believe everything can be solved with a friendly conversation with just a bit of empathy and kindness. Sessions will be weekly, using Discord, Above VTT and D&D Beyond. Leveling will be by milestone. There will be a zero-tolerance policy on bullying, sexual harassment, racism, and prejudice. Those who do not abide by these standards will be removed from the game with no refund.
