About the adventure
The Lands of Boreas has many towns, but none is as well known as the town of 'Bad Luck'. A rag-tag group of adventurers is sitting together and having a drink in The Outreach Guild and Inn after having just finished another quest. The town itself consists of beautiful channels with nice-looking water, rooftops lined with moss, and as the rain stops falling the sun replaces the rain shower with rays of warm light. With this specific atmosphere in mind, it's horrifying to hear all the stories of the past evils that have been committed on these streets in the past. The large town of Bad Luck often has many evils that try to claim it for themselves. Liches and fiends, Mind flayers and Elementals, all wanting to claim the town for their own or just seek to ruin the town for the citizens. With many problems comes a strong resolve to solve them, and this is why the Adventures all gather within The Outreach Guild and Inn. An Adventures guild that uses the profits from the popular bar and services that it provides to continue to protect the Town. Find out what latest threat is about to doom the town! Find yourself while enjoying the festivities, see if there is an additional guild you'd like to join, and become the best adventurer you can be while aiding a town that is always in dire need of professional assistance!
Game style
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.
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.
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.
We play every week on Wednesday. Currently, the party is exploring and defending the city of Bad-Luck. The party is level 11!
Additional details
How to prepare
Get a drink, get a snack, get a comfy chair and a stable internet connection and we will be fine! Other requirements like a PC and accounts for the aforementioned websites/services are of course also needed.
What I provide
I hope to bring a happy attitude + handouts for homebrew items and spells! Also: Illustrations of your character can be bought if we play a few sessions together! The commission prices depend on the size and quality of the artwork but this we can discuss later.
Gameplay details
There are some documents and links if you were to join that range from necessary to interesting. A consent form, a document with personal table rules, a discord server link, a roll20 campaign link, etc. I would love to aid you with this if you would want my help ❤️ I promise to be inclusive to everyone that plays without malicious intent, anyone that uses threats and ridicules others will result in a ban at my table (let's have some respect while still poking fun at one another once in a while). Players can expect a good mix between combat and roleplay, depending on their wishes the 50-50% mix can be scaled to be anything else.

How will character creation work
Character creation will happen with the aid of a clear and well-written document that will hold 99% of the information you need to start with, after that point, I'm more than willing to aid you in the challenge. Use roll20 or Dndbeyond to keep track of your character, and in the case of the latter use the Beyond20 extension to link back to roll20 where we host our sessions. My usual table rules for character creation: • All races, classes, and backgrounds are allowed. Homebrew content can be allowed if discussed beforehand. • Multiclassing and Feats are certainly allowed • Stats are as follows: roll 4d6, re-roll any 1's, then remove the lowest, (aka keep the 3 highest). Alternatively, you can choose to use the standard array or point buy method, even after having seen your set of rolls. • Choose how involved you want me to be in the character creation process, if you want existing NPC's to be part of your backstory then don't be afraid to ask! • Custom Rules at my table: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/4LbyWsE8XaUc • Message me for help!
