About the adventure
DISCLAIMER: This campaign can be run on other timeslots and this timeslot can run other campaigns (check my profile for available games) Prepare yourselves for an unforgettable journey through the lands of Arda, where the fate of six changelings hangs in the balance and the call of adventure beckons! ๐ The Setting: Arda, a world where changelings have long been relegated to the confines of the island prison, Outcast's Island; their abilities to shape-shift feared and misunderstood. Held captive by a society that views them as treacherous, these elusive beings have yearned for freedom, desperate to break free from the chains that bind them. However, an opportunity arisesโa glimmer of hope in the form of the notorious pirate merchant, Monday Redblade. โ The Quest: Rumors are spreading like wildfire across the landโMonday Redblade, a pirate figure of infamy and notoriety, has set her sights on selecting six remarkable changelings from Outcast's Island. These chosen few will be given the chance to prove their worth and secure their freedom from the island's confines. But beware! Monday Redblade is no benevolent benefactor. She has her own sinister plans, and those who wish to leave the island must be prepared to delve into the treacherous depths of the criminal underworld. ๐ The Path to Freedom: As part of the select group chosen by the pirate Monday Redblade, your fate will be forever entwined with hers. To secure your freedom, you must perform daring feats, execute heists, and navigate a web of intrigueโall while maintaining your changeling identity a secret from the prying eyes of the world. The stakes are high, and failure is not an option. Can you keep your true nature concealed while embracing a life of darkness, deceit, and unbridled ambition? ๐ Choose the Path of the Unconventional: In this unique Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition campaign, I invite you to explore the morally ambiguous side of the alignment spectrum. Embrace the allure of an anti-heroic tale where the lines between good and evil blur, and choices have consequences. Your actions will shape not only your destiny but also the perception of changelings in the eyes of the world. Will you exploit your newfound freedom for personal gain, or will you rise above the prejudices and strive for a greater purpose? โ Join Us in Shattering the Shackles: Are you ready to seize your chance at liberation? Will you embrace the shadows, or will you rise above the darkness that has consumed your existence? Step into the shoes of a changeling desperado, and prepare to embark on an epic adventure where every decision matters. Join our table, fellow adventurers, and let the campaign of deception, danger, and redemption unfold. Dare to break free, and let your true selves shine in a world that has condemned you.

Campaigns last long enough to live a fantasy life through the eyes of your character. The number of recurring and long-term players is a testament to that. ๐ฒ ๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ฒ Your story is yours to create. I provide the world, and you decide its future. Your victories are your own, and so are your mistakes. ๐ฐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐๐ซ Specializing in homebrew content, my worlds may seem intimidating at first to the unaccustomed. But rest assured, every addition and change makes the game more unique and immersive. ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ Using Foundry VTT and Discord, I deliver immersive gameplay with visuals, audio, automations, organized materials, and detailed combat. These tools simulate the feel of in-person gaming. ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐จ๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐ฒ My curated sourcebooks, homebrew content, and rules ensure each world feels cohesive and richly detailed. Iโm committed to creating fantasy worlds that are understood by players and do not feel wacky, ridiculous, or non-immersive. The more players understand how a fantasy world works, the easier it is to immerse themselves in it. ๐น ๐๐จ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ You donโt have to take my word for it.

Creating your character
After checking out our game materials and world lore, players will create characters on their own after discussing the character creation during session 0. Most of the creation process can happen at session 0, but usually players need more time than that to finish the backstories.
โ We'll start once we have 5 players, but the game can continue with 4 players. Maximum player number is 6. While all player characters will be Changelings in this campaign, some further boosts will ensure customizability. ๐ฑMedium-term campaign, levels 5-11. ๐ฑBe prepared to use some new homebrew content/lore. โFILL ME FIRST: https://forms.gle/8gnCVVgKaShH5zpU9 The above form is a compilation of questions I would ask a joining player to determine their preferences, gamestyle etc. Please have it filled as you apply. UPDATE: For individuals joining the campaign during its progression, the process of character creation is scheduled for Mondays or at a mutually convenient time. This step is undertaken to ensure your seamless integration into the ongoing narrative. We kindly request that you partake in a session as an observer (complimentary of charge) prior to your enrollment. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
