About the adventure
Welcome to Orthillian: A World on the Brink Orthillian is a realm where magic and technology intertwine, and soaring cities float above peaceful lands. But beneath this veneer of harmony, something sinister stirs. Forests are dying, entire regions have gone silent, and ancient ruins pulse with unknown energies. Cults tighten their grip on cities, while reality itself frays at the edges, as planes begin to collide and merge in unpredictable ways. What Awaits You in This Campaign: 🌍 Traverse Distorted Realms: Journey through lands where dimensions collide, where the familiar twists into the uncanny. Face creatures birthed from these strange fusions and uncover the dark secrets they guard. 🔮 Unravel Ancient Mysteries: Confront enigmatic cults, decipher their motives, and navigate a web of intrigue. Every clue you find could be the key to stopping their next move—or to unraveling the very fabric of reality. ⚔️ Battle for the Future of Orthillian: Prepare yourself for epic confrontations with forces beyond imagination—monsters, fiends, and celestial beings all driven by the chaos consuming the planes. Gather your allies and stand firm, for the fate of Orthillian hangs in the balance. ✨ Shape the Story: Orthillian is a world forged over years, rich with lore and waiting for heroes like you. My approach is collaborative storytelling—your choices matter, your actions shape the narrative. Together, we’ll build a saga that’s uniquely ours. Ready to Embark? Step into Orthillian and become part of a story where the stakes couldn’t be higher. Every decision you make will ripple across the planes, altering the course of history in ways you can only imagine. If you’re ready for a campaign filled with mystery, danger, and epic storytelling, this is your chance. Message me with any questions or to secure your place in the campaign! The planes are shifting—will you rise to the challenge?

About me
Hey y'all! Take a seat and buckle in for the story of a lifetime! I go by Daniel, and I am a professional GM. I am excited to meet you, and hopefully I'll get to craft a jaw-dropping story for you as a collaborator at one of my tables. I have been telling stories through TTRPGs for about 10 years, and almost all of that has been behind a screen as a GM. I started playing at the tail end of college and quickly developed a passion for the types of storytelling involved. I fell in love with the themes, systems, and stories of TTRPGs, honed my craft, and have never looked back. Over the last two years, I have ventured into the world of being a professional GM. My craft has excelled, and I've been able to support my lovely family while becoming an expert in emergent storytelling, improvisation, and crafting challenges that raise stories to new and incredible levels. I’ve been married for several years to my beautiful wife, and together we have two young girls who fill our lives with joy and vibrance. I'm extremely lucky to be doing this, and I aim in all that I do, and especially in this powerful form of storytelling, to bring the same vibrance and joy. I am an awesome and safe choice for new players. I am ready to walk you into this world of stories and introduce you to something I love. For veterans, I am ready to challenge your expectations and build something that feels new and fresh and just right for you. I am excited to get to know you, tell you my stories, hear yours, and tell truly astounding ones together! Take care and good luck on your next adventure!

The level 5 party sets off to uncover the mysteries of the Triune Trees. Mysterious happenings are befalling the locals, and the party is desperate to chase down the celestial that planned the fall of Skywatch! What will they find when they explore the hometown and forest of one of the players? Join and find out! My aim is cooperative storytelling, where 'Yes, and' and 'no, but' drive us forward. Together, we'll craft a memorable adventure. Expect a blend of roleplaying and combat, with combat occurring roughly every other session. Roll20 will handle combat, and D&D Beyond will aid character creation
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players of all experience levels are welcome to sign up and join the Discord! Players are welcome to make some characters, but are asked to wait until session one for full character creation including backstory. Players should make sure their microphone and sound are working before session if at all possible.
What GM DANIEL brings to the table
I will provide my players with all the resources they need to tell a great story. This includes all digital resources for character creation. Maps will be provided in the VTT for combat and music will be streamed through Discord for extra immersion. (Music can be muted on a player by player basis
Homebrew rules
2024 rules for exhaustion, surprise and counter-spell. Flanking: Flanking only provides a +2 Bonus to attack rolls. Prone: Standing up from prone provokes attacks of opportunities. Ranger Fix: Hunter's Mark is not concentration. Spell Scrolls: Anyone can attempt to read a spell scroll by making an Arcana check with DC 10 + the level of the spell. Whether you succeed or fail, the scroll is consumed. Players get one narrative re-roll per game instead of a point of inspiration. This increases the stakes of narrative scenes where a player wants to give it their all. Failure and success are multiplied, leading to astounding narrative moments
