You and your team have found yourselves in the "domain of the deathless," also known as Promethea. (My homebrew variation of a Ravenloft dark domain with its own creepy origin story!) 50 years ago, Victor Frankenstein tore a rift in the very fabric of reality by manipulating the nature of death itself. This rift introduced magical energy to the land of Promethea, unlocking inherent magical abilities in some people, mutating the land and creatures, and making arcane energy a tangible resource. Since then, a wall was erected around the Victorian-inspired city of Burkeland, separating the city from the hinterlands of Promethea and leaving smaller villages to the mercy of changed lands. Dr. Victoria Frankenstein, daughter of the late Victor Frankenstein, has become a Promethean hero for her research in medicine and longevity. While her father was known as the scientist that defied death, she's known as the scientist that instead prevented death. Unfortunately, she couldn't prevent her own. While you are in Promethea to investigate the supernatural phenomena, Dr. Frankenstein's untimely death becomes the forefront of the larger mystery at hand. 🎲 THE BOOK: Daughter of Frankenstein is a 5e adventure book that was Kickstarted successfully in early 2023. The full book is due for release in 2024. All players in this series will be considered pre-publication play-testers and given credit as such in the upcoming book. 🎲 THE SESSIONS: This adventure is broken into multiple 9-episode seasons to allow easier scheduling considerations and more in-depth character exploration. The full story (1st through 10th level) could take anywhere from five to six 9-episode seasons, depending on the style of gameplay. There is the option for a high-level post-story adventure for interested parties. Please be ready to commit to 9 weeks at a time (season by season) to create consistency for the players. To enhance the experience and offer a more personalized story, I only allow a maximum of 4 players in any virtual game.
