About the adventure
The sounds of revelry drift through the dark, cold forest, drawing wayward travelers to a place where the senses are delightfully and bewilderingly overwhelmed. Peering out from the top of the conifers is the blood-red spire of The Revelia, where wonder and fun awaits! But underneath the sparkling lights and gleaming facade is a sinister underbelly of chaos and terror. The magical Revelia is the work of Heckna, a creative mastermind masquerading as a jovial ringleader. Some, however, are aware of Heckna’s ruse, including a hunter who will stop at nothing to dispatch Heckna — and destroy The Revelia — once and for all. Travelers may believe that they find The Revelia by chance, but in fact, Heckna goes to great lengths to lure only the best and brightest to his carnival in his search for greater, more spectacular challenges. Many have tried — and failed — to escape from this carnival, but with the right brains, brawn, and alliances, even Heckna can be outmaneuvered. Will the adventurers' see through the glitzy and glamorous charade? Or will they fall prey to Heckna’s relentless torment and become a permanent member of The Revelia?

About me
Hey, did you just stumble on my profile? Looking for an interesting game that isn't DnD? While Dungeons and Dragons pioneered roleplaying games and a lot of us have fond memories or even in fun campaigns o at the moment, there are other genres and systems that are just as cool! If you and agree, and if you're looking for story-heavy games with adrenaline fueled, high octane action or a tense creepy atmosphere, you just might have found a GM right up your alley! For fifteen years I've run and played in a variety of games, and I hope to offer you all a fun time playing a variety of games outside of Tolkien-esque adventures. Whether that big as space truckers fending off pirates and braving black holes to make their fortune; as Werewolves patrolling modern day neighborhoods and their turfs, on the look out for strange, terrifying man-eating spirits; or even 1920's New England investigators who are about to stumble upon and learn about Horrors Man Was Not Meant to Know! I also try to run games with the spirit of the genre of the games too, so while usually my games will have plenty of fighting or action, it will Roleplay Heavy and has plenty of fun, motivated NPCs and settings, with mystery or exploration and/or other things that play to those games strengths. My games are friendly, safe spaces. Bigotry of any kind has zero tolerance, and tough/"controversial" subject manner that can make players feel uncomfortable will be vetted heavily before hand before being included or touched upon.

Creating your character
We will create characters using DNDBeyond using my various paid Rules, but more importantly at Session Zero as a group. Heckna is a "multiverse" game like Ravenloft or Spelljammer so I'm open to nearly any concept, but it has to be done as a group.
This is a multiverse game so concepts can come from ANY DND 5e setting
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need to bring a working mic, a functional PC, and a happy attitude with a thirst for fun (and hopefully) adventure!
What John brings to the table
Foundry VTT and it's various DND modules as well as those that make play easier. Battle Maps and various PDFs for rules and the campagin itself! I also like using music, though I will leave it's conclusion up to a vote. Likewise I do a lot of voices for various NPCs!
