About the adventure
The powers that be call upon the lost, the forlorn, the forsaken, the unexpecting and even the dead. They need beings able to become champions. The forces of good are strong and many, vast in number. The forces of darkness are equally so if not more. On the vast battlefront across the planes of existence, the dark powers are choosing champions or raising those of the past. On the world of Toril there is a vying power struggle. The kingdom of many arrows, the orcs of the spine of the world, wage war upon Neverwinter. The Pirates and Corsairs of Luskin set sail to raid and pillage ships making their way north. The Cult of the Dragon seeks to free Tiamat from her infernal prison. The red wizards of Thay seek to expand their power base. The Mind Flayers seek to enslave the population of Baldurs Gate. This is only the tip of the iceberg, you daunting champions must decide which powers to serve. Which powers to ally with and which powers to fight against. The choices of you champions will determine the fate of Toril and possibly many more worlds, should you survive the forces which will stand before you.

About me
I am a Player and DM of 6 years and constantly looking for opportunities to improve and explore. I enjoy playing D&D and willing to try other TTRPG's. I am mostly experienced in 5E D&D and 3.5E D&D. I love the game as a whole and seek to bring an encapsulating experience to all who play my games. From heavy roleplay to intensive combat and dungeon crawls. I have tons of ideas, open to feedback, and seek to create a healthy and rememberable environment for my players.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation usually happens on session 0, though normally I prefer my players to make character choices themselves and reveal their characters. For this campaign I would like everyone to work together. Character sheets will be made on dndbeyond, stats will be rolled. Characters will be starting at level 3 for this campaign.
Session 0 is free Will go over introducing you all to the world of toril, safety rules and guidelines, then character creation in session 0. Provided things go well we may start the beginning of the campaign that session.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
As a player you will need a account on dndbeyond and discord. It is preferred that players have a microphone at least though I also use a camera to transmit more emotion, a camera is not required. It would be preferable for players to have read the players handbook and have a basic understanding of how to play though this game can adjust to new comers. The Links below are to a helpful YouTube video for those new to dndbeyound, a link to abovevtt, my discord server and campaign link to dndbeyond.

What Heferrion brings to the table
Session 0 is Free! In this campaign and all others I try to make use of voices and art or character descriptions. I run my games using discord, DNDBeyound, and Abovevtt. I do occasionally use music though largely I do not as to not distract players. Combat can very from intense tactical combat to laid back, usually the former but not always. Some foes will have gimmicks that need to be found out for victory. I do roll with the rule of cool most of the time, though a natural 20 dose not always guarantee success out of combat. There is a list of homebrew rules in my discord server that I will be using in tandem, such as a mana system, I have homebrewed in the Titians Grip feat. A variant on Monkey's Grip. I will be allowing homebrew races should players choose though all such things are subject to my approval. Additionally I don't allow domination spells to be used by PC's on other PC's unless both players are fine with it. Using magic on the party is open and friendly fire is on at all times with few exceptions. Should a problem arise with a player in their actions of their character or out of character, I will message them and give them a chance. However if things escalate then players may be removed and characters slain. Subjects and events that happen can be red coned at any moment should a player either need it, have a change of heart about past deeds and the such.

How Heferrion creates a safe table
Safety Tools: Session 0 will come with a safety talk that will be a Luxton Technique Discussion talk and go over the vales I drawl in the games personally. This is usually related to sexual content. Brakes may be taken as needed or called for as needed by the players. Using the Stars and Wishes will be something new I plan on introducing into all my games. In the process of making everything a more positive experience.
