About the adventure
Some Tarnished were left behind. When Godfrey was banished, most followed to the badlands to wage war in a land afar. You are one of those trying to survive in the Lands Between during the war of the Shattering. Will you decide to fight for The Golden Order and choose to fight alongside Morgott, or will you help Rykard spread blasphemy to the Lands Between. Will you join Cuckoos, or will you stand in defense of Rennala? The choice with whom to side is yours. Explore the world of the Lands Between during the Shattering with a party of other Tarnished trying to survive in the wake of everything. The players will choose which Demigod they wish to fight for and see if they can affect the outcome of the war, or if there will only be ruin left in their wake. We will be using a mix of D&D 5e, homebrew, and Dark Souls: The RPG to explore and survive in this world. I have been playing Souls Games for 13 years, and hope to truly immerse yourself in the world of one of the best video games of all time.

About me
I was once told that a diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to Avernus and convince you to look forward to the trip. I've convinced at least 20 players to do so. I have been DMing for well over 15 years at this point (more than half my life) and I've had a great passion for game design. I'm currently at college for Game Design. I've DMed for Pathfinder, D&D 3.5e, D&D 5e, a few and multiple homebrewed systems which I created. I often use sci-fi, high fantasy, and dark fantasy settings. My games focus on player-driven narrative based gameplay. I have been told that I occasionally offer my players too much freedom, and I prefer that my players have absolute control over where the narrative takes us. I will not railroad my players, even if I do lose 20 planned quests in a single scheme. I'm open and accepting of whatever my players want to do and will look for a way to let them do it without breaking game balance too much.

Creating your character

What Ryan, Warlock of the World Tree brings to the table
FromSoftware is my absolute favorite video game company of all time. I've been playing the Souls games for 13 years, and am so excited to bring you all into a world I cherish and explore it together with you. I live and I die by the Rule of Cool. Combat will be quite tactical but more in a puzzle sense and not grindy-tactical. I use ambient music and a quite a bit of theater of the mind. I do characters with distinct speaking styles and sometimes, but not often, will give them a unique accent or character voice. We may flip between drawn maps and theater of the mind.

How Ryan, Warlock of the World Tree creates a safe table
Most of the tags may not come up based the players take the story, but these are things with a strong likelihood of being mentioned. We will have a lines and veils and triggers discussion during session 0, and if you want that to be a private conversation let me know. After sessions I always check in with my players about how they're feeling and how the session went. If you have any concerns feel free to message me.
