About the adventure
Some heroes are born, some can be made, and some must rise to the occasion. ___________________________________________________ Our story follows a varied group of Heroes in the wondrously magical city of Aurora. These Heroes often find themselves charging towards grave danger, seeking to fulfil their many motivations within the city. With their bravery, heroics, and comradery, they confront the worst monsters and villains of this world for whatever may motivate them. In a Westmarches-Style campaign, players and characters may rotate in and out from session-to-session. Like an episodic TV show with a changing cast, each session explores one small isolated story that may relate to the overarching story of the group. Whether you come for one session or 20, you will be able to explore a high magic world on daring quests with your fellow adventurers! ___________________________________________________ This game is set in my homebrew world of Ilian; a place of grit, whimsy, divinity, and ingenuity. While it is a world of my creation, it was made with D&D 5e in mind, so there are many things that overlap with the worlds of traditional D&D.

About me
The tension is weighty, suffocating: a moment suspended on the edge of a blade. Live, or die. Fight, or run. Figures move in the shadows - wolves, goblins, sweeping robes, shapes only seen in nightmares. Panic threatens to drown you; you glance about, danger everywhere. From behind, you hear the sound of steel against a scabbard; a low incantation begins; a growl reverberates. You divine the presence of trusted companions, and you swallow your fear. You are not trapped - these shadows are. In your hand, you sense your power - your quiver, your sword - and you cast it forth. Time slows, fates bend, and the silence breaks with the sound of destiny manifesting: Natural Twenty. ____ Welcome, friends, to the Cherry Tree! My name is Randall, and I’m here to do what I love most in this world: tell stories with others. Those stories may range from the horrific to the hilarious, from epic high fantasy to small-town whodunnits. No matter the themes or tone, I try to make every story unique. Sometimes this means tweaking a module to get a better fit, sometimes this means writing a whole new story - and sometimes it means setting the tale in my own homebrewed world of Ilian. Anyone who is willing to collaborate with, listen to, and respect their fellow players is welcome at my table. Whether our story is fun and goofy or dark and spooky, everyone should feel safe and comfortable with it and each other.
