About the adventure
**This is a campaign in progress. New players start at level 8 ** The land of Ghom rests between the Greytop Mountain Range and the Winedark Sea. It is a land that has seen the rise and fall of more than one great empire. In this 5e campaign, adventurers carve their destinies amidst the ruins of once-great empires, taking on the roles of heroes seeking glory, fortune, and answers in a realm abandoned by the gods. This campaign chronicles the story of a band of pukkha (forest-dwelling descendants of a once powerful empire) and their volki (wolf-like humanoid) protector. Rhime, the pukkha warlock has broken free from the servitude of his patron and now is seeking new purpose. Starmirror the pukkha bard has tavelled with the others for months, bringing her songs and wit to aid in adventure. Laddie, their volki bodyguard remains a calm and steady force who attempts to bring reason to the chaos that surrounds him. Along the way this band of furry travelers have faced against the undead, traversed the skies in an airship, and fought a shadow dragon! They have found and lost several companions and unlocked secrets of gods and spirits. Now, the fate of magic hangs in the balance as a would-be god emperor sends his dreadful forces against an ancient tower which contains a powerful magical entity. Their new companion, Ol' Jimmers is a skilled fighter with magical abilities. He is also a member of an ancient sect that has vowed to protect the land of Ghom from power hungry deities. There is still room for one more companion to help them combat the evil that may swallow their world. Could that be you?

About me
I'm Michael J Patrick (Michael or MJP). I'm a writer, illustrator, and game designer with forty years of experience in TTRPGs. I've written adventures published for the Privateer Press "Iron Kingdoms" setting and been placed in Paizo's top 16 RPG Superstars. My table is open to all sorts of players of all backgrounds and is LGBTQ friendly. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 I'm a father and welcome to all ages at the table as long as everyone is having fun. I believe in starting with a session zero so that all the players can discuss what they want out of the game.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
The game starts at first level. We will use the Roll 20 character sheet and most dice rolls can be accomplished by clicking on the relevant ability in the app. I am happy to go step by step with players making characters. I can also set up the Roll 20 character sheet so that players do not need to worry about calculating every dice roll.
We play every other Thursday at 7pm EST (UTC -5:00)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will communicate either through Roll 20 or Discord and will use the Rolll 20 tabletop experience. A Roll 20 free account and microphone will be necessary. Players should have a general idea of what type of character they want to play. Character creation will happen during session zero/before session one.
What Michael J Patrick brings to the table
I have the vast majority of official 5e materials at hand. I am willing and able to assist new players with character creation and development. I agree with the rule of cool in situations where the rules are not clear. Player characters are free to attempt anything, but success is dependent upon their abilities and the dice.

Safety
How Michael J Patrick creates a safe table
I do not ever include topics like slavery or sexual assault in my games. I don't generally allude to sexual situations and if any such thing occurs in game between consenting adults I believe in "panning away". Adult humor is ok with me if everyone at the table is an adult. Even then it depends on what the players are comfortable with. This is one of the reasons session zero is important.
