About the adventure

Something stirs in the north. Whispers of change and strife. Rumors of orcish raids, wild beasts, and dangerous elves. An acquaintance of yours has requested you check on his young apprentice, from a small town named Gravesford. He's given you a delivery for her and hopes to hear she is safe. And so you set off along an uncertain road, towards an uncertain future. Danger and fortune alike can be found in the Barony of Valen, yet who could imagine what adventures now lie before you... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The Tyranny of Valen" is heavily based on the adventures "Siege of Castle Rend" and "Regent of Bedegar", adventures created by Matt Colville and MCDM for the 5th edition supplements "Strongholds & Followers" and "Kingdoms & Warfare". Suited for both veterans and new players alike, this adventure takes a party of 5th level characters from mere local do-gooders to regional commanders and heroes! This campaign is a continuation of another adventure, "The Barony of Valen and the Lost Mine". While several characters from this campaign are continuing their adventures, "The Tyranny of Valen" is a new campaign for players old and new to the setting!

How to prepare

Requirements • A decent mic and headset in a quiet environment. Others should not hear their own voice reverb through your mic. If your mic picks up echos or background noise, use push-to-talk settings or mute when not speaking • A Discord account • A Roll20 account. Note that Roll20 works best on a computer and poorly on mobile devices Additional • Webcams are welcome if desired but are not required • Players may use D&D Beyond if they wish, but will require the Beyond20 extension as all rolls must be made within Roll20 NOTE: Be advised that I do not personally use a live-action camera during gameplay, but rather have an animated avatar that motion tracks my face and movements which I may enable. My voice is unmodified but, for personal privacy, I avoid displaying my actual likeness online.

What I provide

• A Discord server with channels specific to the campaign, and space to text RP between sessions • A Roll20 game including maps, music, and dynamic lighting • Documentation and/or details for any house custom rules in play • An active imagination and engaging descriptions

Gameplay details

The content warnings listed are a general blanket of content likely to appear at some point, though some of these will be uncommon occurrences at best. This stated, NPCs can be terrible people who do terrible things, and while the adventure has a path there is still an opportunity for the players to branch out into unexpected territory. As such, it's possible other content tags may become applicable within a specific session. If there is any specific content beyond what is listed within this game's content warnings that you are unable to handle, please message me directly so I may update our game's lines and veils. Sessions will include a 15-minute break midway through for bio needs or otherwise. GM Lines There will be no sexual content, implied or explicit, involving minors. There will be no explicit violence against or involving babies or pregnant mothers. There will be no sexual assault against player characters or initiated by player characters. GM Veils Sexual content will receive only minimal attention should it ever come up. Innuendo and implication are fine, but overtly sexual content will have the barest minimum of description and any sexual encounters will be strictly fade-to-black.

How will character creation work

All characters will be created and tracked within this game's Roll20 Campaign and will begin at level 5, or at the party's current level if higher. Players will need to either create their characters before their session or select a pre-generated character from a list I will provide. Any character created by a player must be approved by the GM before play, so ensure any such character is submitted at least a day before the session for review. Note to new players: You may not have read any of the rulebooks or source material, and this is fine! There will be a variety of pre-generated characters available, and if you have something specific in mind and would like to talk options you're free and welcome to message me between sessions! Characters may be created using the Point Buy (Player's Handbook p13) or Standard Array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) methods, and you may use content (races, classes, backgrounds, spells) from any of the following official sources in creation. If you would like to use a spell, background, race, feat or otherwise from another official published source please message me as I may still approve it: Player's Handbook Elemental Evil Player's Companion Volo's Guide to Monsters Xanathar's Guide to Everything Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes Tasha's Cauldron of Everything (Custom Lineage not allowed) Fizban's Treasury of Dragons If you require assistance in creating your character and/or want to speak about backstory options and ways to integrate your character into the world, please contact me to schedule a time between sessions. I am very willing to assist in these areas and love to aid in preparing new characters!
