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! ๐ŸŒ 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 arisesโ€”a glimmer of hope in the form of the notorious pirate merchant, Monday Redblade. โ“ The Quest: Rumors are spreading like wildfire across the landโ€”Monday 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. ๐Ÿ›‚ 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 intrigueโ€”all 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? ๐Ÿ”€ 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.

Character creation

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.

The current party

โŒ› 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. ๐Ÿ”ฑMedium-term campaign, levels 5-11. ๐Ÿ”ฑBe prepared to use some new homebrew content/lore. โ—FILL 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.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Stay active on our Discord server and all preparation steps will be announced there. Additionally, chat with other players will always happen through our Discord server. If you're new to Foundry, it helps a bit if you have watched a few tutorials for players.
