What's harder: being a giantsayer or a revered high priest of Sharlyn? A criminal member of the Hive, or a Nolscarian mercenary? Sparkstone seeker, tomb-breaker, or storm whale hunter? Airship captain, Assembly member, or Sister of the Wild? Will you venture into the frigid wilderness or make your fortune across floating cities? Break into arcane vaults? Fight with your might, or tinker a powerful automaton to life? These are the questions you'll wrestle with as you start your legacy in the prosperous city of Myrefall, one autumn morning when a decade-long winter finally knocks. As the old sovereign loosens his grip, two nations collide, and giants' raids incite panic. Stay at cozy inns and await nobles to decide your fate, or pack your snow boots and two-week rations and forge it yourself. Just be prepared and write a will, for there is no going back.

Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
โRule of Coolโ emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a systemโs 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.
๐ Every Saturday. Level 9. Join us as we deal with the aftermath of defeating a powerful Flesh Sorcerer in the depths of the Underdark. We have: โข Owlin Cleric โข Harengon Bard โข Human Paladin โข Dragonborn Sorcerer โข Goliath Gunslinger No D&D experience is needed. Feel free to contact me about anything.

What I provide
I will bring a deep love for lore and epic tales, a vast experience in dramatic storytelling, and love and care for you to have a perfect adventure with a cauldron of emotions.
Gameplay details
Expect a long campaign (1+year) divided into distinct arcs (1-3 months) that allow for short-term and long-term players alike. Session 0 will happen in the form of 1-to-1 calls with me before the session to set everything. This is a mature game. We shall establish the theme and the Lines and Veils document so everyone is comfortable. If you need to step away from the session for any reason, you're welcome to do so. A 10-minute break roughly in the middle will serve for drinks, snacks, and bio, as well as to help with the pacing and bleed. I will be checking in with you throughout the campaign. ๐ Living, deep and immersive world of Dreon ๐งญ Open-world, sandbox style of play ๐ง Character-driven campaign ๐ Voice-rich, dynamic, and whimsical NPCs โ๏ธ Learn to play friendly and challenging for veterans (goal-oriented combats) โจ Premium Virtual Tabletop Experience with rich maps, sounds, and community discord ๐ An epic tale you will remember for life
