Dungeons & Dragons 5e | [[ All of you... Your gods destroyed you! ]] Legend of Zelda D&D5e, RP Heavy, Political Intrigue, Post-Windwaker Desert

About the adventure

All across Hyrule blows a harsh and scorching wind - a vast desert stretches across what was rumored to once be beautiful fields. In this land forsaken by the gods, still there are some that hold to their faith. Hylia has her reasons. Surely, it is the legendary hero's duty to fix the world. Surely the goddess herself wouldn't just take pity upon the mortals she has brought such suffering to, and bless them once again with fields of green. Others are not so certain, losing faith in the gods and their ambivalence towards mortal suffering. To the faithful, however, those are treasonous thoughts - it was Ganondorf who cursed the gods, after all, and it was his fault for bringing about the world's suffering. In a world torn by those clinging to remnants of faith, and those pitying the gods' scapegoats, where do you lay? There are rumors that the long lost kingdom of Hyrule's bloodline has emerged. For some this brings hope for a new rule and a new era, and for some it only brings misery, a loss of freedom, subjugation. You have been hired by an interested party to find the surviving lineage of Hyrule's royalty. What will you do when you find them?

Additional Details

How to prepare

All you NEED is a mic. Cameras are great because I love having visuals and it makes communication easier for me, but they are not required! Character sheets will be managed on DnDBeyond, maps will be on Roll20, and if you want to connect the two for easy rolls then I highly rec the extension Beyond20!

What I provide

I provide plenty of sourcebooks to use via DnDBeyond. And visuals for the setting, drawn myself! You can also commission me to draw your character. (:

Gameplay details

Hard rules for all my games: NO racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, bigotry, etc. That includes fantasy versions (ie: "all orcs are born evil and therefore do x"). NO SA, noncon, torture, slavery. (Said things can be allowed, with approval, in PC backstories, and do exist in NPC backstories, but will not be directly mentioned or described) And... we're here to have fun!! <3 Will send a form pregame for lines/veils/etc. Will message to go over what kind of game everyone wants to play ("i hate puzzles" "i love combat" etc), touching base on things we don't want in the game, talking character dynamics, working on character sheets, explaining gameplay if new to D&D. After games, I usually chat (in call or in discord) with everyone and joke around - I always try to balance out the harsh with humor, and I check in with everyone after a rough session. X cards will be whatever you are most comfortable with. <3

How will character creation work

DnDBeyond will be our main sheet source, as I have lots of books and can share in campaigns. Lv6, will provide details of equipment, etc in discord. Character creation will happen in discord pregame, BUT feel free to bring a character you already made before the game. <3
