About the adventure
Contributing Author of the Scarred Lands Mega-Adventure -Dead Man's Rust- invites you to take a trip into a heavy metal Hellenic world where the Gods have just felled the Titans and the world still bears the scars of their great Divine War. At the Night of Chronicles in the city of Leoni, the adventurers enjoy a wild revel. Opportunity arises when the aging bard Dradoki Bronzeleaf hires the party to escort him to the Broadreach Horizon. The perilous voyage takes the group through titanspawn infested lands, but should they survive, they arrive at the last bastion of uncorrupted wood in the Hornsaw Forest. There they meet the clans of the Broadreach elves and a century of hollow legionnaires dispatched to the Forest of Blood to offer aid and friendship. But a dark shadow looms over the accursed wood. The necromancers of Glivid-Autel sew corruption and death throughout the Hornsaw Forest. Legionnaires, elves, and dwarves go missing. A horrific infection appears, seemingly targeting the legionnaires. The adventurers are called on to stand against these foul machinations that threaten peace, prosperity, and life itself across central Ghelspad. They may find allies in the Broadreach Horizon, the Gleaming Valley, and perhaps even the bloody canopies of the Hornsaw Forest, if they are brave enough to answer the call to adventure!

About me
Epic Tales, Gripping Drama, Cataclysmic Conflict, Tragic Romance, Heartstopping Terror, Awe Consuming Wonder... As a Storyteller, GM, DM or whatever term is your preference it's my goal to get as many of these fantastic themes in whatever game I'm running. As a professional writer and TTRPG evangelist, I am published author with Onyx Path Publishing, I have 25+ years of TTRPG Experience (95% of it behind the screen), and hundreds of hours spent in Live Streamed Actual plays primarily with Devils Luck Gaming and Fiendish Foundation. My focused playstyle is Narrative and Character Driven storytelling through detailed descriptions and immersive roleplay. I do have a love for a well balanced and constructed system but I will almost always seek to tell the best story first and see that the rules being used support that style. Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, Modern Espionage, or any other genre is a treasure trove of story and enjoyment. My job is to paint the picture, build the tension, and pay off the drama in the most spectacular ways possible.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will begin at Level 3 and creation will occur during session zero. Communication about character concepts will be done in the open as will general class selection. Character backgrounds can be discussed privately if players wish to reveal their backstories in game. Character sheets will be created and kept on the GMs Google Drive and players will be granted editor access. Characters will go through a "setting check" to ensure that they fit into the setting. (There are no gnomes in the Scarred Lands for example.) If there isn't something exactly like what you like, I will do my best to find a setting appropriate analogue. Characters will be built for this game. Characters from other planes or universes are not viable in the narrative so be prepared to adapt OCs to the setting and style of the campaign.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Make sure to have your own dice prepared (I tend to use physical dice and the honor system will be honored until an issue arises and then a solution will be implemented). Be sure to have access to the base rules of DnD5e. Access to supplements used during play is not required but reference material should be on hand. Discord calls will be used for both session 0 and play so a mic is mandatory and a camera is prefered but a representation of the character or animated avatar is totally acceptable. Other than that...be ready to play and have fun.
