About the adventure

Monday Session - FULL Tuesday Session - FULL Thursday Session - FULL Come ye to the Fractured Reach. It's been two millennia since the vile Lich Queen, Nhacra, was vanquished in an epic battle that scarred the land and pushed monsters to the very periphery of the known world. Since then the three nations that call the Fractured Reach home have flourished in this fertile and abundant realm. Now accounts of increased monster activity are being reported. Grab thy sword and focus, the time of high adventure is nigh. Beginner Friendly! Built for new players and veterans alike, your GM is a passionate teacher and storyteller. Pre-generated characters are available to you if you just want to jump into the action. A custom setting awaits your indulgences and ideas. Using Dungeons and Dragons 5e rules, we'll craft a collaborative story that shall echo through the ages. You Can Expect: • Role-playing galore - memorable NPCs and inter-party role-playing throughout • Tense combat - requiring players to work together and strategize • Fun and Games - interested in chariot races, battle of the bards, and colosseum matches anyone? • Intrigue - politics, detective work, betrayal, lost knowledge are all featured • True open world - where you go, what you do, and your choices shape the world and future adventures If you'd like to have fun, laugh, cry, gasp, scream, and shout out, "Argh!" then sign up today! If for any reason you don't enjoy the game, I'll refund your session fee no questions asked.
