About the adventure
"Who hasn't heard of the Halls of Arden Vul? A one-grand city perched high atop a cliff face, laid to waste during the civil war that broke the Empire's back; home to untold riches! All one must do is reach out and claim it; that is, of course, if you can brave its countless deathtraps, the walking dead, and worse..." "The Halls of Arden Vul" is one of the largest megadungeons ever put to print. Spanning five volumes, over 1100 pages, with over 2000 unique rooms spread across 25 floors, this game is an absolute mammoth. I'd like to introduce you to it. This module is set in the frontier holdings of an empire in resurgence (think the Roman Empire, if it came back after its collapse); it is centered around the titular Halls and the surrounding environment. This game is for people interested in the OSR (Old School Renaissance), a modality of TTRPG play that tests player skill and is typically very player-directed; encounters are not balanced and traps are genuinely deadly, but you have a significant amount of lateral in how you solve the problems that you face.

About me
I'm a TTRPG system polyglot with a flair for the mortal and the macabre; I delight in facilitating tense action-horror scenarios in a variety of game systems, from Cypher to Zweihander and many things in between. I run most of my games in Foundry, using system modules that I contribute to with my years of experience as a web developer.

Creating your character
We'll generate characters during session zero, following the OSE rules -- 3d6 down the line for 1-3 characters. During session zero, we will discuss character classes available for use, as well as any homebrew rules that I'd like to propose.
Your first session is free!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a reasonable quality microphone, a Discord account, and a computer capable of running the Foundry virtual tabletop. Players will not need to read the rules before playing, though they are more than welcome to!
What Tim brings to the table
I will provide a virtual tabletop for use, as well as AI-generated art and an accompanying token.

How Tim creates a safe table
Before our first session, I'll share out a consent form. We'll make use of an X-card module in Foundry to ensure that players are able to halt scenarios that make them uncomfortable.
