Dragon's Blood [1°-20°, Long Term, Beginners/🏳️🌈 friendly]
The Kingdom of Evergreen is shaken by multiple crisis, while a shadow is looming upon its citizens. Dark secrets, a prophecy and mighty dragons await.
About the adventure
The land of Amonlanden is living in a long period peace grounded on delicate and fragile political balance between its kingdoms. Nonetheless, the opportunities for fame and glory are always present in a world where the dangers of the wilderness push the peoples to converge towards the cities. First among the many is the threat of dragons, creatures that in hate and spite of all the other races have detached themselves from the world cursing their own language to be never understood, leading to the birth of the dragon slaying tradition. All of you adventurers, each one for its purposes and means, find yourself at the mighty city of Evergreen, capital of the homonymous kingdom, to meet with the general of the city's guard Angela Birkenmayer. She is looking to recruit an expert group of adventurers to answer back to the multiple crisis the Kingdom is facing all at once. What you are yet to discover is that the circumstances of your meeting, apparently accidental, seem to hide a common thread that mysteriously connect you all. An great adventure awaits you, on the outcome of which depends the fate of much more than appears. Powerful foes to defeat, heroic deeds to accomplish and a long lost heritage to uncover are about to come. Cover art by Anato Finnstark (https://www.artstation.com/anto-finnstark)

About me
Hi everyone! I am Vale, a new DM to this site but with a 10 years experience as a player and as a professional master. I love creagin homebrew settings both using them in more linear narrative and as sandbox for the players to explore. I look forward to experience the amazing idea I can create with my players. My DMing style is focused on character development, world building and storytelling. I am also a fan of the most technical aspect of the game but I mainly tend to use it as a narrative tool for a more immersive experience, often using homebrew content (campaign traits, custom abilities, original spells and races etc.) I mostly play in homebrew settings but I also enjoy mastering adventure path and modules. I offer One Shots, mini campaigns (3/6 sessions), and long term campaign. I keep track of all the characters making available to expand the story of one across the world through more stories in the same setting. I prefer to write the story upon the players' backgrounds. Every kind of player is welcomed, experienced and newbies! I try to put my best effort to make feel everyone comfortable and safe around the table, discussing boundaries and off-limits material before hand in session 0. The players can always communicate with me through chat to express if they feel uncomfortable with what is playing and I will move forward and reshape the flowing of the game in order to accomodate everyone in the most inclusive way. LGBTQ+ friendly. My main inspiration are The Lord of The Rings, The Neverending Story, The Chronicles of Narnia, Inheritance Saga, Arcane, Dragonheart and the SoulsBorne games. Session 0 of character creation free of charge and I offer a pre-made one-shot if you want to get to know try my DMing style. I master Pathfinder 1ed and DnD 5ed. I use Discord, roll20, WorldAnvil and Foundry. Webcam are recommended but not mandatory. An adventurous spirit and curious mind is recommended and mandatory. :)

Whilst I could not stay due to life getting in the way, Vale proved to be an awesome GM in the 2 sessions I got to play in. He knows his story, he knows how to use Foundry (and teach it to others), and is greatly patient with some of our newer, even first-time players. If you want a game where RP is taken seriously and a GM that truly cares about your character's backstory, this is your guy!
Pasqualino
I start playing tabletop role playing games thanks to this GM, he introduce me pathfinder severals years ago and he made me love it; and still having fun together now with 5e D&D. He's a rly good writer and narrator, above all interpreting many NPCs and capable to involve u inside the game with not verbose description and the perfect choose of backgroud music.
Lushika

Character creation
Creating your character
• We will create the characters sheets together through sessions zero and one. • The characteristics will be determined with the building points system (a system where you have a certain amount of point with which you can buy the scores) • Starting level for the characters is level 1. • We use Background Skills optional rule • It is possible to use pre-generated characters if you previously tell me at least 12 hours before the session • I can also provide some guidelines for the background creation for those who may need them, that are kind of a series of ideas from where to start with. • The characters sheet will be done with Foundry.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
• A stable internet connection. • A browser to access to the FoundryVTT website, Chrome and Edge are verified options • A Discord account, since I use the program to interact with everyone. (https://discord.com/) • A working microphone and set of headphones • A working webcam is recommended but not mandatory, and everyone is welcomed in the way they are most comfortable with. I also always advice to have a physical notepad with you to take notes on dialogues, names, loot etc. It can also be done digitally but I always found that my players tend to have a greater immersion in this way.
What Vale brings to the table
Dragon's Blood is a 1-20 level adventure with original setting, epic tones and a classic fantasy atmosphere. Thematically, the story is supposed to be a sandbox with a classic style main quest where adventurers are hired with a specific goal, leading to journeys along the continent taking several days and stops at specific towns or places. There is a starting part where the quest is linear to later open up to many different possibilities of what to do and in which order. There are challenges and situations of various kinds (politics, researches, battles, investigation etc.), but with the dominant storyline always in the background. This adventure is a well fit for "righteous and good" kind of heroes put to side with more morally grey ones, since morals and ethics are an important theme in the story. Setting The setting is homebrew, and while it well defined it is designed to accomodate all kind of characters and leaves space to fill in new elements. The setting also includes an array of races, magical creatures and a pantheon. The whole wiki, maps and compendiums are displayed through the site WorldAnvil, other than on Foundry , Discord and Google Drive. Tools and platforms • I use FoundryVTT to host the game, creating a digital space where the adventure takes place • I use different tools to make custom tokens and maps (Inkarnate, Dungeon Scrawler etc.) • I create dedicated Discord server for the group to chat, store infos and videocall with everyone during the sessions • I also tend to use a lot of visual art references, thematic playlists, custom made handouts, original soundtracks and other homebrew content. Roleplay I use character voices according to the style of the players, if they prefer a more in-character/theatrical approach or an extradiegetic storytelling style for their characters. In this campaign is particularly relevant the world's lore and history, since your characters will play a central role in the political and cultural development of the whole setting. Combat and Rules • The campaign present a balanced mix of roleplay, combat and exploration, with some puzzles and riddles. • I tend to generally follow the rules but bending them for awarding creative strategies and roleplay focused ideas. • I sometimes use custom game mechanics in order to handle any occurrence that may happen in the story

How Vale creates a safe table
For Lines and Veils we use the standard version by Monte Cook with some additions that I will forward to the players. The X, N & O's are communicated through chat directly with me or in the group chat, as you are more comfortable with. In session 0 I also plan to go over what are your expectations for the group and the campaign, both for your characters and for your experience as players.
