About the adventure

Welcome ! This is a mini-series / multishots adventure where your band of unlikely heroes will have to infiltrate a giant flying fortress manned by a group of evil cultists, pierce the machinations therein and put an end to this Bloodcult's misdeeds... Needless to say, it's easier said than done. Feel up to the task ? Then why wait ? = IMPORTANT NOTE = The sessions will be played on Discord in REAL TIME (count about 2-and-a-half to 3 hours per session) but we will use the WRITTEN form through Live Text Chat, both for descriptions and player's actions (so no audio / VC, except for optional music - see below). I normally use either direct linked access (through browser) or simple screenshots from Owlbear Rodeo VTT for tactical maps, as well as other visual supports (including illustrations for NPCs, magic items etc) as well as optional soundtracks for a more immersive experience.

Game style

Theater of the Mind

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

Party notes

This will be a series of text-only sessions where characters interactions and written descriptions can create a deep immersion. * Warning 1: combats can take a little longer because of this (but are more... erhm... descriptive ? yay). ** Warning 2: some homebrew rulings may be involved. Come and join the fun !

How to prepare

You'll need a decent connection to internet and access to Discord. We use dice bots but if you prefer to roll your own dice IRL that can be discussed (just don't cheat, ok ? that's just plain lame...).

What I provide

I am happy to help you with your characters' portraits (I have a vast collection available), I also will provide battle maps, general area / dungeon maps, NPC portraits, background illustrations, even special items' depictions... basically anything that can make the campaign world as real and complete as possible, and help the players visualize the situations they're in, both in and out of combat. Atmospheric sounds and/or music can also be integrated in the sessions as an option.

Gameplay details

We will be playing through Play-by-Post through the week (and also in live sessions on week-ends, mostly on Sundays although some Saturdays can also be an option) but always using the written word, which means you will be expected to pay attention and read the description of the action (both from the DM and other players). No great skills at writing are needed, just let your imagination flow and don't feel self-conscious about your style, spelling etc: the main thing is to have FUN ! SAFETY TOOLS & CONTENT WARNINGS: - Session Zero with LINES & VEILS will be implemented. - warnings include: vivid descriptions of physical wounds, maiming, barbaric behavior and wanton destruction by the encroaching hordes of invaders. Also, giant insects, zombie-like soulless humanoids with red eyes, flying castles with incredibly lethal necrotic beams and other crazy monsters. You've been warned !

How will character creation work

- Characters are playing at level 5. - Stats: Roll 4d6 choose highest 3 or 27-points buy or Standard Array. - Races and Classes allowed: almost anything from the PHB (I'm also open to other ideas, as long as it fits the narrative). - I normally use DnDBeyond for character creation but you can take any method or platform of your choice, as long as it's 5e compatible. - this is a Low Magic adventure: talk to your DM to see about starting gear involving potions, scrolls, or Uncommon Magical Items. Usually I do allow some Uncommon or even a Rare item if it makes sense with story and game balance. WARNING: this DM reserves the right to implement Rule of Cool, add homebrew rules and change / nerf class features and feats when needed. All within reason and with Players' consent, but still... strictly RAW Rules Lawyers, you've been warned ! (-;
