About the adventure
The inspiration behind this game stems from the very *real* suspense feeling from a light novel series "Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash," though a completely homebrew'd setting and lore~ The style is a dark, atmospheric D&D campaign setting designed for players who enjoy a blend of survival, mystery, and character-driven storytelling. In the Isle Continent of Archaeon, adventurers find themselves without memories, stranded in a world that is as unforgiving as it is enigmatic. This setting emphasizes a gritty, low-magic world where every resource is precious, and every decision could be your last. The tone is one of melancholic beauty, where the faint glimmers of hope are hard-won amidst a backdrop of ancient ruins, treacherous wilderness, and secrets long buried by time. This campaign is perfect for those who relish deep role-playing, tense survival mechanics, and uncovering hidden truths. Character creation in beyond the standard D&D 5e rules, offering a more homebrew approach that reflects the setting's themes of lost identity and gradual self-discovery. Players will start with only the most basic knowledge and abilities, gaining new skills and memories as they progress through the story. This approach encourages creative problem-solving, teamwork, and a strong narrative connection to the world and its mysteries, making every choice and encounter feel meaningful.

About me
Hey Howdy! I'm Maximus! • Circus Daredevil • Super Extrovert • Fitness freak • Nerd As a longtime forever DM, i really enjoy games that give you everything you want and more! I love games with a variety of character voices, dynamic soundscapes, and a mixture of maps AND still images paired with theatre of the mind to set the scene. I strive to really immerse myself and other players into the world and not just have fun but look forward to playing again! I love face-to-face Discord calls and using the dndbeyond catalog and a slew of battlemaps and other scenery images through AboveVTT to create a rich and compelling narrative-driven game! Message me and lets hop in a discord call to to get eachother's ✨vibes✨ and work something out! I'm itchin' to find a new like-minded peeps to play with!

Creating your character
Being that the basis of the game is unique, we will work together to create a narrative and character. Some questions i will have for ya are as such : - Class: How did you become the class you are? What choices did you make that led you down this path? If it wasn’t a choice, what circumstances caused you to be thrust into this path? - Goals: What do you want? Do you have any immediate goals? How about long-term goals? What are you trying to accomplish, make progress towards? Why are these things important to your character? Describe why your character wants to (or maybe has to) leave their current life to become an adventurer. (Character creation will be much more in depth, this is just a snippet of information to get your mind going!)
I want to work with my players to create a character that fits into the narrative and have direct communication with to be very hands on with their journey.
