About the adventure
📜 | Experience the thrill of exploring the unknown in this dark fantasy setting of Dead Gods and a Shattered Sun. Scorched Sands is a campaign set in my Shattered Sun setting inspired by hexcrawl exploration and Westmarch-style games. You will take the role of an adventurer given the opportunity to explore the Madran Wastes, an area besieged by the Realm of Fire and Hollow Abyss. Isolated from the world since the Desolation, until now! While this will be heavy on exploration, wilderness, and dungeon delving, don't be fooled The Wastes still have inhabitants, and there will still be plenty of intrigue and roleplay available as you discover the deeper secrets of this ravaged land. The Madran Wastes are aptly named, the flame-scorched sand is said to be unable to house any life within it. A desert that is ravaged by the Realm of Fire leaking in, large swathes of the desert burnt black, or melted into glass and obsidian. However, it is said many secrets and ancient nations lost to time and history are found deep within these lands. So you find yourself in the city of Myth's Call, a small settlement far from civilization, the last Free Port. This city houses those who wish to explore the Scorched Desert or the Glass Dunes deep in the Madran Wastes. It welcomes people from all walks of life and those who wish to get a new start flock here. Have you been hired by the local noble who is making expeditions deep into the Wastes? Are you a native who has begun living in Myth's Call with the hope of finding your tribe or the secrets within? Are you running from something, or do you wish to find fame? Did you discover a secret that has led you here or a clue that's answer is only found deep in the desert? Whatever brings you doesn't matter, the Wastes treat everyone equal....

About me
Hello hello! My name is Eldritch or Maeve. I am 23 years old and use they/they pronouns. I live in the nonexistent state of Ohio with my lovely wife and act as the local Cryptid. I have been a gamemaster for nearly 12 years now having started upon finding some old AD&D sourcebooks and running adventures for my friends. In the last decade, I have run or played in a variety of systems including D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, Fate Core, Warhammer 40k, and more. During this time I was motivated by my then-fiance and best friend to begin writing and developing my own Setting in the hopes of spreading and publishing it. I collected all my notes, and now years later I have the World of Shattered Sun. I have run multiple games in this setting making use of the unique cosmology magic system, world map, and Pantheon to deliver an incredible experience. Recently, I have begun to transition to becoming a professional gamemaster to continue my passion as a fantasy writer!

Creating your character
Character creation is performed on FoundryVTT. All races and classes in dnd5e are allowed. As well as a few homebrew options including custom races or [Laserllama's](https://www.gmbinder.com/profile/laserllama) alternate classes. I have multiple resources to help with character creation and I like to be involved if you want. We use Discord for voice chat. Foundry VTT handles the character sheet, items, and rolls. Backstories are created together to immerse your character. First, you will write something original and creative then I will provide ideas and supplements until the backstory truly comes alive. each player will also write 4 rumors about their character that may be true, false, or partially true. These rumors will be distributed to the other players.
We will be starting once we reach three players with the goal of eventually having 5!
