Save the towns, and everything around them! (Beginner friendly)

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

✔ Dragons ✔ Missing Prospectors, Farmers, Healers ✔ Terrorized populous ✔ Monsters in need of hunting and/or cooking ✔ Shapeshifters ✔ Dark gods conspiracies (x2, or was it x3 🤔) ✔ Fame fortune and everything that goes with it! It seems all we need is adventurers... or heroes... Perhaps a Grill of Barbecuing? No math, no code: VTT will take care of the math and premium mods of providing a familiar interface so you can enjoy your game. Character creation can be as easy as you telling me what you think would be a fun character to play, and then me giving you your character and explaining what they do and how. I'll help you navigate a living world as it reacts to your character's actions whether they are observation, words, or blows; also known as exploration, diplomacy, or combat. This campaign is great for folks new to TTRPGs, it bundles up and reimagines the most famous starter 5e adventures "Phandelver and below: the shattered obelisk, all of the essentials collection and slowly incorporates awesome mechanics from 3rd party creators. But don't worry, I'll provide everything you need for you to do tracking, big game monster Hunting and cooking — Eat your heart out Witcher! I'll make a fool out of myself doing goofy voice acting, and describe absurd happenings to help everybody relax and have fun. The game will be description and exploration heavy but won't forego combat!

I had a great time at Olaf's table! He's a wonderful storyteller and seamlessly added my PC & story to an ongoing campaign. He creates a comfortable and easy-going environment that allows creativity to flow. I recommend joining one of Olaf's games. You'll be glad you did!

How to prepare

You will need: Internet connection 💻 Functional microphone and speakers (or headphones). 💻 A Forge (free) account (https://forge-vtt.com/) 💻 A Chromium compatible web browser Opera, Opera GX, Chrome, or Edge (or its equivalent on mac). 🎮 Discord user account. 🐲 A DnDBeyond (free) account is recommended, but not necessary ❌ Don't bring TRASH (Transphobia, Racism, Ableism, Sexism, Homophobia) to the table. If I, at 50+ years of age, have chosen not to be a prejudiced grumpy old man and treat everyone who approaches me with respect, being younger you can do that, right?

What I provide

I have all the digital assets needed to run the game including: 💻 Virtual tabletop (Foundry VTT) Choice of audio input for soundboard or soundtrack in discord. 💯 Chill game: You don't need to act, do voices, math, or have experience to play. Except for being rude and uncaring to your fellow players, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to play, just different styles for different people. 🧙‍♂️ Life long experience in teaching playing and mastering TTRPGs 📚 For those of you who just must know the books (I love you for it) I draw for you : We will be using DnD 5e core rulebooks*, Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting and Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms.

How will character creation work

I'll provide whatever level of assistance you want, the instructions below are only for experienced players: Level 1 characters (if you have a clear idea you can give me an outline of them up to 3rd lvl). All options from the 5 core rule books available as well as Cyclopian Gobboc, Lotol, Ombrask, Oozekin and Rakin ancestries and all classes and sub-classes from Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting Modified ability score array: 17 15 13 12 10 8 --or-- Roll with me 4d6 drop lowest up to three times (bad sets are awarded a luck pool) You can move an ancestry (race) +1 from your +2 or a +1 to an ability score that currently has no positive modifier from.✳ Character building may be done entirely thru DnDbeyond, however take into account that some choices (like selecting the tamer class or the ✳ marked change) may force us to do it on foundry. Your character was either born on the mere, is a refugee, or was shipwrecked in Flotsam Bay and was rescued by the people of East Harbor (the town you'll begin your adventure in) and you have been remitted to the care o Ma June, an eccentric Healer, Herbalist, Cook or Witch (depending on who you ask). I don't mess with family, friends and significant others unless I have consent, and I encourage you to include some in a short backstory: please give me three "safe" NPCs I won't mess with, and one I can put in peril for you to rescue or for me to put thru "A series of unfortunate events" (Pat. Pending by Lemony Snicket).
