About the adventure

✨You can expect ✨ 📅 Weekly sessions spanning levels 6-20 🎭 Extensive Roleplay with PCs and NPCs ⚔️ Challenging Combat and unique monsters 🌟 Custom content, side quests, expanded missions, merchants and more! 🎲 If you want a "Critical Role-like" experience, this is it! In the aftermath of The Calamity, Exandria lay broken and scarred, a world teetering on the precipice of uncertainty. Those who managed to survive the devastating upheaval faced a daunting challenge: to envision and shape a new world in the wake of the Age of Arcanum's cataclysmic end. In the years that followed, the survivors clung to the faintest glimmers of hope, desperately seeking signs of their loved ones and the possibility of reclaiming their shattered homes. Amid the ruins, they discovered a profound resilience, a collective determination to rebuild what had been lost, and a fervent belief that civilization could rise anew. Vasselheim, a once war-torn city, stood as a beacon of unwavering hope amidst the desolation. While their own home bore the scars of battle, the people of Vasselheim extended their open arms to all who sought sanctuary and aid in the monumental task of rebuilding the world. Here, amidst the ruins and the fragments of their once-great civilization, alliances were forged, trade routes rekindled, and the fragile embers of civilization began to glow anew. Our campaign unfolds 25 years after The Calamity, in the heart of Vasselheim. Each of you has been inexorably drawn to this city, guided by a shared purpose: to seek membership within the newly established Slayer's Take. This organization, born of necessity and courage, embarks on a mission to confront the menacing creatures and monsters that plague the lands. Their aim extends beyond mere protection; they endeavour to assist those brave souls striving to rebuild cities and towns throughout the world. Moreover, their hunts provide valuable ingredients and materials to those dedicated to unravelling the mysteries of the past, seeking to reclaim the knowledge and technology lost in the tumultuous wake of The Calamity. As you gather in Vasselheim, united by a common desire to join the ranks of the newly formed Slayer's Take, you stand on the precipice of adventure, hope, and redemption. The world is still marred by the scars of The Calamity, but in your hands, there lies the potential for renewal and the chance to shape the destiny of Exandria in this new age.

Game style

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s 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.

Rules as Written (RaW)

Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.

Combat Heavy

“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

Recruiting notes

While this game follows players as they explore a post-calamity Exandria and your own personal stories for your characters will also be adapted into the game! This will follow your characters from levels 3-15.

How will character creation work

Characters start at level 3. I am happy to work with you on your backstory or can craft one for you if you are interested. I want you to play a character you enjoy, so I will work with you as much as possible so we can craft that character for you.
