About the adventure
What should have been a simple job, escort a caravan full of Vellum from the Duchy of Karameikos to the Emirates of Ylarum turns into a danger filled journey. Beset from all sides by raiders, mishaps, and having to juggle an absent minded caravan master, the party hired for the task of guarding the caravan begins to feel that perhaps there is a more sinister force behind the troubles. The farther they go down the trade route the darker the journey becomes... If you have ever once thought about giving a look at the original system, seeing the game through the eyes of the first players, figuring out what this whole THAC0 deal is, or maybe you just want to a take a journey down memory lane; well here is your chance.

About me
Hello! I started playing TTRPGs an eon ago with the D&D Red Box set and was nearly immediately put into the DM role by my siblings and cousins. I would say I am equally comfortable with a homebrewed campaign setting as well as any official worlds. Dragonlance being my favorite with Spelljammer coming in a solid second. Outside of D&D I find Villians and Vigilantes and Paranoia to be just downright fun while World of Darkness is great for sheer world immersiveness. In the end, I love setting the scene and letting the players run wild with their creations.

Creating your character
Character creation will be on session 0 using the Discord plugin "Dice Maiden". Players will roll two sets of 4d6 "drop lowest" and then choose which of the two sets to use. Any player joining after session 0 will create their character during their free session or, time permitting, prior to their first session
This table is very newbie friendly and experience with either D&D or Fantasy Grounds is not required, the GM will patiently teach all newcomers. Current party level: 3
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please have a mic for discord and the Fantasy Grounds Unity demo (or higher version if owned) installed. The discord server can be used to discuss character creation prior to a player's first session.
What Dane brings to the table
Players will not have to make any purchases to play this game. The GM will supply the discord server with text and voice channels as well as the server for Fantasy Grounds Unity. Connection information will be given to players as they join via private message through either this website or discord.
