About the adventure
The Yellow Fog Closes In... You’ve already survived the waking nightmare of Briarstone Asylum — shattering the Tatterman’s pursuit, exposing shape-shifting doppelgangers, and finding desperate sanctuary in the candlelit chapel. You thought the worst was over. It wasn’t. The party has now moved into Book 2. The yellow mist has followed you beyond the asylum walls, and the influence of the King in Yellow continues to spread. Whispers grow louder. Forgotten memories continue to surface in fragments. The true scope of the conspiracy is beginning to reveal itself, and the horrors are no longer contained within crumbling stone corridors. Strange Aeons is a full Lovecraftian horror campaign converted to D&D 5.5e. Expect psychological tension, body horror, cult conspiracies, moral dilemmas, and a custom Insanity System that tracks your slow descent into madness. No one escapes unchanged. What to Expect Going Forward: - Deeper investigation into the growing Dreamlands threat - Brutal combats against increasingly nightmarish foes - Heavy roleplay, investigation, and major revelations about your characters’ lost pasts - A living, reactive world where the Yellow Sign’s influence continues to escalate - Moral gray areas and difficult choices with lasting consequences Tone: Dark cosmic horror with moments of desperate hope and black humor. Content Warnings: Madness, body horror, psychological trauma, gore The party has just begun Book 2. If you love Lovecraftian horror, deep roleplay, moral gray areas, and high-stakes decisions that shape both the story and your characters’ sanity, this is the campaign for you. The fog is spreading. Will you face what comes next?

Homebrew rules
Initiative: We reroll imitative every round of combat, this is handled directly by Fantasy Grounds. Delay Turn: When it is your turn in a round you can opt to act later in the round by declaring a lower initiative. Emanation Effects: Once per round damage is the maximum. Skill/Knowledge Checks: You must be proficient in a knowledge or tool to use it. Critical Hits: On a critical hit, the damage is maximum damage plus another die roll instead of doubling dice. Flanking: When a creature and at least one of its allies are adjacent to an enemy and positioned on opposite sides or corners of the enemy's space, they flank that enemy. Attack rolls made by flankers against a flanked enemy have a +1 bonus. A creature does not grant flanking bonus if it is incapacitated, frightened, restrained, or grappled.

Safety
How BWatford creates a safe table
Respectful Environment: I enforce a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, discrimination, or disruptive behavior. All players must respect each other’s pronouns, playstyles, and contributions, creating a collaborative vibe. Inclusivity: I welcome players of all experience levels, ensuring newbies feel supported with D&D 5E mechanics and veterans can shine tactically. I’ll provide pre-generated characters if desired or guide character creation to help new players.
